Overview

This reference design accelerates the development of IO-Link controller gateways by implementing an 8- port IO-Link gateway that supports up to 400μs cycle time, COM3, 1A per port on L+, and an additional DI/DO. The design supports various Ethernet-based industrial protocols such as EtherCAT®, PROFINET®, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus® Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) using the AM261x integrated industrial communication subsystem (ICSS). The hardware design is tested and developed to meet industry- standard EMI/EMC requirements.

Features
  • 8 Port IO-Link controller supporting 1A per port, COM3, 400μs
  • 10/100Mbit Multiprotocol Industrial Ethernet
  • EtherCAT, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, MQTT, Modbus support
  • EMI/EMC tested design
