IC revisionA

Description

This BoosterPack™ was designed to operate with the LP-AM243 TI LaunchPad™ kit with Sitara™ AM243x MCU. Together this design implements an eight port IO-Link Master with fast and deterministic timing and independent cycle and bit rate configuration. This design can be used to build a remote IO gateway to connect to OPC UA, Profinet, EtherCAT, or Ethernet IP. The Programmable Real-Time Unit (PRU) for Sitara ™ Processors based frame handler provides a flexible way of controlling timing and synchronization.

Features

Eight IO-Link ports with additional digital inputsSupports IO-Link transmission rates COM1, COM2, and COM3 and 400-µs cycle timeCan provide 500-mA of current per port with overcurrent protection and limiting on all portsPRU frame handler enables flexible timingThis BoosterPack contains all the analog circuitry needed to create an eight port IO-Link Master when combined with the LP-AM243 LaunchPad containing the processor and framehandler.

Typical applications

  • provide general-purpose remote I/O
