Design variants
The DSL Master IP Core is supplied in two variants.
Standard
The "Standard" variant (dslm_n) is a small IP Core, but does not support any safety
functions and diagnostics of the log and the motor feedback systems connected. Use of
the "Standard" variant does not permit a safety relevant application to be supported
using SICK motor feedback systems certified for safety applications.
Safe
The "Safe" variant (dslm_s) is a larger IP Core and supports safety functions and diag‐
nostics in accordance with the requirements which are described in this manual and
which are required for specific motor feedback systems (see the corresponding data
sheet).
Both variants can be combined with various interface blocks (see
). Exam‐
ple projects are provided on the accompanying CD-ROM.
All IP Cores with interface blocks are packaged in a ZIP file and can be found on the
accompanying CD-ROM in the "IP Core\Altera" folder

Design resources
The DSL Master IP Core is supplied as an encrypted VHDL project. The interface blocks
are supplied as open source VHDL files. Additional design resources contain a file that
specifies the time and environmental conditions as well as a VHDL template for a top
level circuit that integrates the IP Core and the interface blocks.
