Hilscher NS-S3-1NRT SYStem - netSWITCH with Ethernet-Port for SERCOS III. Simple Type: Switch

The SERCOS III Real-Time Ethernet system provides deterministic jitter-free data transmission for controlling and synchronizing drives. Parallel to this and based on a time-slot basis, standard Ethernet telegrams can be transmitted via a NRT (Non-Real-Time) channel. These NRT telegrams must be buffered for retransmission on a standard Ethernet network. The netSWITCH provides this buffer connection between the sycronized SERCOS III network and standard Ethernet. Besides the two Ethernet ports for SERCOS III, there is one Ethernet port for connection to a notebook or other standard Ethernet capable devices. In the SERCOS III network, SERCOS III telegrams and Ethernet telegrams on the NRT channel are received by the netSWITCH. The Ethernet telegrams of the NRT channel are forwarded by the netSWITCH to the standard Ethernet ports making these messages available to users outside the SERCOS III ring. Likewise standard Ethernet telegrams that are received by the netSWITCH are inserted into the NRT channel of the SERCOS III network for delivery to SERCOS III components. The netSWITCH forwards the SERCOS III real time telegrams with a throughput time of 600 ns. NRT telegrams are processed according to the Store-and-Forward principle.
