Getting started
2.1
Hardware requirements
To evaluate the system, you need:
•
a
)
•
an IO-Link Master (e.g.
) together with a power supply (18-32.5 V for the
•
a USB cable (type A to mini-B)
•
connection cable/wires between IO-Link master and IO-Link device
•
a laptop/PC
The three boards included in the
are connected and communicate with each other through
the Arduino connectors (CN5, CN6, CN8 and CN9).
The
is supplied by the IO-Link Master via the
CN1 and CN2
connectors (L+/24V and L-/GND pins).
The
embedded DC-DC generates a 10.4 V rail supplying the
IN
net: you
have to set
JP5 on E5V position to generate the 3.3 V rail to supply the rest of the system.
To flash the
from the Master, set JP5 to U5V
position and then connect it to your laptop/PC via USB cable (type A to mini-USB).
2.2
Software requirements
To complete the system, you need a PC/laptop with:
•
Windows
®
(version 7 or above)
•
driver installed
For system evaluation only:
•
the IO-Link master control tool provided with your IO-Link master hardware. If you are using the
as IO-Link master, then the control tool is the IO-Link Control Tool

•
IODD file (included in the
)
For application development:
•
a software development environment (
, EWARM, MDK-ARM)
•
software package (including source code and IO-Link stack library, available on
•
the IODD file of your application
2.2.1
IODD file
The IODD file (IO device description) is the electronic device description file necessary for each IO-Link device.
The file stores a variety of information for the system integration:
•
communication properties
•
device parameters with value range and default value
•
identification, process and diagnostics data
•
device data
•
text description
•
device illustration
•
manufacturer logo
To ensure the same handling of all IO-Link devices, independently of the manufacturer, the IODD file structure
is always the same for all manufacturer devices and it is always represented in the same way by the IO-Link
configuration tools of the master manufacturers.
