Is there an open source IO-Link stack available?

I have been looking at designing a solution around an IO-link master. Does the IO-link Consortium allow for open source implentations of both the master and slave? The documents online seem to give enough info to implement at least a basic feature…

Use IO-Link v1.1 without ISDU

I want to use IO-Link v1.1, but my device has no ISDU implementation. Is it possible to still use v1.1? The IODD-Checker says: Bit 0 from mSequenceCapability shall match the support from ISDU But after reading the specification, I think I don't…

Communication between PLC and Arduino using IO-Link

I have a small device based on an Arduino and I want to send some data to a PLC that has no RS232 port but can have an optional IO-Link master card. I looked around but found no info about Arduino and IO-Link, are there any projects using Arduino as…

Handling cyclic and acyclic UART messages

I'm looking into designing an IO-Link slave on page 35 of the IO-Link spec they mention Communication Channels. I have received an IO-Link device stack from TEConcept (ST/STM IO-Link partner), I cannot link to it, as it is given by request only.…

IO link sensors with PLC

This is probably a stupid question but I am new to IO link sensors. When using IO link technology with a PLC (siemens s7-1200) can you connect devices that are not IO link sensors? For example say I wanted to connect an existing normal push button…

IO-Link Master implementation on FPGA

I try to get a grasp on the IO-Link protocol but the Interface Specification seems to be horribly bad. Has someone ever used IO-Link on a FPGA? Is it feasable to implement a small master (I only have to support one specific sensor) or is the…

How to connect one digital/analog sensor to two separate devices?

I have an ifm electrical pressure sensor witha 3 wire sensor cable which is currently connected to an ifm IO-link master for receiving signals. I want to make a parallel circuit to connect the sensor both to the IO-link master as well as to a PLC.…
