BOOSTXL-IOLINKM-8 EVM User's Guide
This BoosterPack
™
was designed to operate with the LP-AM243 TI LaunchPad
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.
