The P-NUCLEO-IOM01M1 is an STM32 Nucleo pack composed of the STEVAL-IOM001V1 and the NUCLEO-F446RE boards. The STEVAL-IOM001V1 is a single IO-Link master PHY layer (L6360) while the NUCLEO- F446RE runs an IO-Link stack rev 1.1 (developed by and property of TEConcept GmbH, license limited to 10k minutes, renewable without additional costs). IO-Link stack update is allowed exclusively by following the procedure described in UM2421 (freely available at www.st.com). Any other erase/overwrite of the pre-loaded stack makes impossible to restore it.

The STM32 Nucleo pack provides an affordable and easy-to-use solution for the evaluation of IO-Link applications, L6360 communication features and robustness, together with the STM32F446RET6 computation performance. The pack, hosting up to four STEVAL-IOM001V1 to build a quad port IO-Link master, can access the IO-Link physical layer and communicate with IO-Link Devices.

You can evaluate the tool via the dedicated GUI (IO-Link Control Tool©, property of TEConcept GmbH) or use it as an IO-Link master bridge accessible from the dedicated SPI interface: source code of demo project (Low-Level IO-Link Master Access Demo Application, developed by TEConcept GmbH) and API specification are available for free.
