Texas Instruments BOOSTXL-IOLINKM-8 Eight Port IO-Link BoosterPack™
Texas Instruments BOOSTXL-IOLINKM-8 Eight Port IO-Link 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. The Texas Instruments BOOSTXL-IOLINKM-8 BoosterPack contains all the analog circuitry needed to create an eight-port IO-Link Master when combined with the LP-AM243 LaunchPad comprising the processor and frame handler.
