STMicroelectronics IO-Link Communication Master Transceiver Demonstration Board IFP016V2, L6360 Demonstration Board

The STEVAL-IFP016V2 IO-Link communication master transceiver demonstration board is based on the L6360, monolithic IO-Link master port. A modular and customizable application that interfaces externally with the microcontroller. The purpose of the board is to demonstrate the capability of the L6360 monolithic IO-Link master, as communication transceiver for multiple I/Os. The board uses input signal from the microcontroller and outputs the 24 V required for industrial applications. The board demonstrates that the L6360 is both IO-Link master port mode and standard IO mode compliant. The interface is compatible with the STEVAL-PCC009V2 and STEVAL-PCC009V1 EMC-immune application against ESD, burst, surge, RF noise, etc. A large GND area on the printed circuit board has been designed in order to minimize noise and ensure good thermal performance.
