Success of Sercos PlugFest continues in 2016
Sercos International, supplier of the Sercos automation bus, held its 17th PlugFest mid May at Festo AG in Esslingen Berkheim, Germany. During the two-day event, master slave combinations were tested according to pre-defined test lists. Interoperability tests with extensive multi-device test set-ups were also performed.
The PlugFest was attended by 10 companies with 10 master and more than 50 slave devices as well as various test and configuration tools. Among the tested products and devices were CNC, PLC, motion and robot controls, servo drives, stepper motors, compact and modular I/Os, gateways and more.
Peter Lutz, Managing Director of Sercos International says: "We are very pleased about the success of the PlugFest. On the first day alone, 3 Sercos III masters already put an extensive multi-vendor set-up into operation."
