General Architecture
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).

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or architecture:
“We have seen over and over that white male historians in general have tended to dismiss any history they didn’t themselves write, on the grounds that it is unserious, unscholarly, a fad, too “political,” “merely” oral and thus unreliable.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
