Establishing communication with the units

The SEW Communication Server is integrated into the MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio software package for establishing communication with the devices.

The SEW Communication Server allows you to create communication channels. Once the channels are established, the devices communicate via these communication channels using their communication options. You can operate up to 4 communication channels at the same time.

MOVITOOLS® MotionStudio supports the following types of communication channels:

  • Serial (RS485) via interface adapters
  • System bus (SBus) via interface adapters
  • Ethernet
  • EtherCAT®
  • Fieldbus (PROFIBUS DP/DP-V1)
  • Tool Calling Interface

The available channels can vary depending on the device and its communication options.
