Hi all,
IO–Link is used predominantly in an industrial environment in automated production for linking sensors and actuators and is a point-to-point protocol(it is not a field bus system or a cabling system!).
Now the IO-Link Consortium and its associated partners only have the know-how of the electronics to build the master and slave devices using the IO protocol stack/s(U need to pay 20,000 euros to be a member of that Consortium and then only u can have the tech. specs. for the hardware development :damnmate: )
The document for the IO-Link protocol was only released this year in January. io-link(dot)com.
I have been reading the protocol release note for the last 3 weeks and I am finding it really difficult to put together the pieces.
I want to start with the slave device for the time being ! My prime focus would be to develop the slave hardware so that it can atleast communicate with the IO-Link Master (me an intermediate level VHDL user) !
A copy of this initiative is already posted in opencores(dot)org. Upto now I have 2ppl collaborating with me, one from India and the other from Swiss.
So is there anyone else here who is interested in this project ?
Greetings,
Debayan Paul
