Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAXREFDES165 4-Channel IO-Link® Master

Analog Devices MAXREFDES165 4-Channel IO-Link® Master is a fully IO-Link-compliant, 4-port IO-Link master reference design. This design uses the TMG TE IO-Link master stack and is both an IO-Link master reference design and a development and test system for IO-Link sensors/actuators. Four IO-Link ports allow for simultaneous testing of up to four different sensors (or actuators). The reference design has four robust female M12 connectors—the most common connector used for IO-Link—and ships with an IO-Link cable for connecting quickly to IO-Link compatible sensors and actuators. An AC-to-DC (24VDC/1A) power supply can provide at least 250mA to each port simultaneously and more when fewer ports are used. A USB 2.0 Type B connector allows for quick connectivity of the Analog Devices MAXREFDES165 to a Windows® PC.
