REXROTH SYHNC100 Industrial Ethernet Co-Processor – Real-Time Motion Sync

The Bosch Rexroth SYHNC100-NIB-23/W-24-P-D-E23-A012 is a high-performance Sercos III network interface board (NIB) designed for the IndraMotion MLC and IndraDrive motion control ecosystem. Acting as a real-time communication co-processor, it enables deterministic, cycle-synchronous control of up to 64 Sercos III-compliant servo drives with sub-microsecond jitter. Housed in a compact PCIe form factor, this module integrates tightly with industrial PCs running IndraWorks or CODESYS, making it ideal for complex multi-axis applications in packaging, printing, robotics, and machine tooling.


Application Scenarios

At a high-speed bottling line in Germany,inconsistent labeling due to timing drift between print heads and conveyor servos caused a 5%product rejection rate.The integrator replaced the legacy fieldbus with a REXROTH SYHNC100-NIB-23/W-24-P-D-E23-A012-based IndraMotion system.Leveraging the module’s hardware-accelerated Sercos III stack,all 18 axes synchronized at a 250µs cycle time—with phase jitter below±50 ns.The result?Zero misprints over 12 months,throughput increased by 12%,and changeover time halved thanks to dynamic axis reconfiguration via the NIB’s real-time parameter access.In this case,the SYHNC100 didn’t just connect drives—it redefined precision.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values

Innovation Point 1:Hardware-Offloaded Sercos III Stack

Unlike software-based masters that burden the CPU,the SYHNC100 uses an integrated FPGA to handle cyclic telegrams,CRC checks,and redundancy switching—freeing>90%of host CPU resources for application logic.

Innovation Point 2:Dual-Port Ring Redundancy with<10 ms Recovery

The dual RJ45 ports support automatic ring topology detection;if a cable breaks,the network reconfigures in under 10 ms—ensuring uninterrupted motion in continuous-process lines.

Innovation Point 3:Integrated Service Channel for Diagnostics&Updates

While real-time data flows via Sercos,the embedded TCP/IP service channel allows remote firmware updates,drive parameter tuning,and oscilloscope-like signal logging without disrupting motion.

Innovation Point 4:Seamless Integration with IndraDrive Safety(OSSD over Sercos)

When paired with IndraDrive Cs/Ck safety drives,the SYHNC100 transmits safe torque off(STO)and safe stop commands over the same cable—eliminating separate safety wiring.

Application Cases and Industry Value

In a Japanese semiconductor wafer handler,nanometer-level positioning required perfect synchronization between linear motors and rotary stages.The REXROTH SYHNC100-NIB-23/W-24-P-D-E23-A012 enabled a 125µs Sercos cycle with FPGA-timestamped position capture,reducing cumulative path error by 70%.The system achieved±2µm repeatability across 24 hours of thermal cycling—critical for yield improvement.

Another deployment involved a digital textile printer in Italy,where color registration errors plagued production.By using the SYHNC100’s real-time camming and electronic gearing features,engineers synchronized four print bars to a master dancer roll with zero mechanical backlash.Downtime from misalignment dropped from 8 hours/week to near zero,saving€220K annually in wasted fabric.
