The IO-link demonstration system from Hitex Development Tools consists of a sensor and an IO-link master. It has been developed in close cooperation with Infineon Technologies, TMG Technologie Management Gruppe Technologie und Engineering, ZMDI Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden and with development tool support from Keil. The IO-Link demonstrator allows to easy evaluate the functionality of an industrial control unit sub-system, which is achieved by a user-friendly PC-GUI IO-link device tool. The IO-link master can be configured via USB of up to 4 IO-link ports (Infineon 16 Bit XE164, up to 8 IO-Link Ports). The connected sensor provides the display of process control data. The physical realization of the IO-Link communication is based on the powerful IO-Link PHYs ZIOL2401 from ZMDI.
