8 Port IO-Link Master Reference Design

Description

PLC applications requiring fast timing and fast cycle time can now be realized using this reference design which implements: an eight-port IO-Link master. It can be used to build a remote IO gateway to connect to OPC UA: Profinet: EtherCAT or Ethernet IP. A PRU-based frame handler enables a very flexible way of timing and time synchronization. This design helps build a very universal and scaleable IO-Link master.
