3.1 Software Description
The BOOSTXL-IOLINKM-8 was primarily designed to operate with the LP-AM243 LaunchPad running the
IO-Link ® Master Stack and example application. There are two different APIs to communicate with the IO-Link
stack library, but only one API can be used in an application:
•
SMI – The Standardized Master Interface (SMI) is a generic interface, which is set on top of the stack's
regular API. It matches the interface with other IO-Link standards and acts as a connecting interface for
multiple clients. Also included is the configuration management and event dispatching.
•
API without SMI – Use this API if you want to directly access the lower level System Management and
Application Layer services.
