The implementation of the IP Core is based on an installed tool-chain, that is provided
by Xilinx.

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 protocol and the motor feedback systems connected.
Use of the "Standard" variant does
not
permit a safety relevant application to be sup‐
ported 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 all interface blocks are packaged as ZIP files that can be found on the
accompanying CD-ROM in the "IP Core\Xilinx" folder.

defines the release date of the IP Core in the format year (yy), month (mm)
and day (dd).

Design resources
The DSL Master IP Core is supplied as a net list in NGC format. Additional design
resources contain a "constraint" file that specifies the time and environmental condi‐
tions as well as a VHDL template ("wrapper") for a top level circuit that integrates the IP
Core.
