SERCOS III is installed on all Rexroth control systems as the standard communication bus. Third-parties have the option of offering SERCOS III on their own systems.
The following hardware connectivity
is available:

|
Communications Controller
A communications controller is used to provide SERCOS III connectivity
- based on an FPGA logic chip or
- as a general-purpose multi-protocol Ethernet controller
Various versions of the Xilinx "Spartan 3" and Altera "Cyclone II" FPGA chips are available for SERCOS III. The SERCOS III software core can also be added to existing FPGA solutions.
The Hilscher "netX" multi-protocol Ethernet controller supports
SERCOS III master and slave connectivity.
All of the controllers are available in a number of versions which cover the performance spectrum from simple I/O controllers and drives to master controllers and control systems.

SERCANS III PC plug-in board
Fully-assembled SERCANS expansion boards can be used to connect
standard PCs to a SERCOS III network. Versions are available for PC bus systems such as PCI.

Starter/evaluation kits
To make the transition to SERCOS III even easier, PCI boards for standard PCs along with master or slave software are available for training purposes. There are also WinCE drivers for X86 platforms.

|
| New developed devices with SERCOS III connectivity are tested and certified for conformance. With a confirmizer tool hardware manufacturer can internal test in forefront if their new SERCOS III products are compatible to the protocol.
