In order to achieve the throughput and jitter requirements required in the applications the interface is designed for, sercos III operates primarily in a Master/Slave arrangement exchanging cyclic data between nodes. The Master initiates all data transmission during a sercos real-time cycle. All data transmissions begin and end at the Master (circular).
