Addressing
Devices must support Ethernet’s MAC addressing, plus the sercos III addressing. Other addressing schemes are optional.
- Sercos III address
- Each sercos III device contains a numeric address used by other devices on the sercos III network to exchange data. The address may be any whole integer from 1 to 511.
- IP address
- Sercos III does not use an IP address for its own operation. Whether a device contains an IP address or not is dependent on its support of other specifications, either independent (exclusive) of sercos III operation, or via the UC (Unified Communication) Channel portion of the cycle.

Famous quotes containing the word addressing:
“A writer who writes, “I am alone” ... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“But what is quackery? It is commonly an attempt to cure the diseases of a man by addressing his body alone. There is need of a physician who shall minister to both soul and body at once, that is, to man. Now he falls between two stools.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He took up his pen, which seemed to parch like a martyr in his hand. He began to write, nevertheless, addressing the nine-and-ninety lies of the moment he hoped with for a night of saloperie at the side of the twisted strumpet, Fiction, who lasciviously rolled her eyes at him, hiked up her skirt, and beckoned him on.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
