and CN9).
A supply rail (up to 35 V) is necessary to supply the

1.
by enabling the LDO1 mounted on the
(open JP3; close JP4 and JP5) and setting JP5
on the
development board to position “E5V”;
2.
by connecting the mini-USB port of the
development board to your laptop/PC through a USB
type A to mini-B USB cable. In this case, the
development board JP5 must be closed in the
position “U5V” and the
jumpers JP3, JP4 and JP5 must be open.

Software requirements
To complete the system, you need a PC/laptop with:

is provided with the IO-Link stack included in the
software.
The software also includes an IO-Link library that developers can use to compile and link their sensor code.
The stack library contains a 30-minute runtime limited version of the TEConcept IO-Link stack.
The library is intended for evaluation purposes and its limitations are:
•
data storage and block parametrization are not supported
•
vendor ID, product ID, product name and device ID cannot be changed
•
30-minute execution time
After 30 minutes, a notification event that indicates “FW test phase expired” is shown and the IO-Link stack stops
working. A power-on reset is required to restore the operation.
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:
