TIOL1113: Demo of IO-link host based on TIOL1113

Part Number: TIOL1113
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIOL111

Hi sir,

Do you have any demo of TI that implements the host based on TIOL1113as the IO-link interface? Related IO-link protocols.
The chip TIOL1113 is used in my design, and the host is stm32f407 platform.
Where can I get this IO link related protocol from TI?
The circuit implementation is that TIOL1113 is used as the host to connect the external slave IO-link sensor.

Thank you.
Regards,

  • Frank,

    TRX does not have any software demo, but we do have EVMs and reference designs. I'm going to notify our IO-Link expert to comment further, but I believe one of our EP teams has developed some IO-Link software. 

    The expert is out of office today, but will get back to you by Monday CST. Thank you for your patience.

  • Hi Eric,

    Thank you.

    Waiting your response.

  • Frank,

    Thanks for your patience, we're still looking into this.

  • Frank,

    We do not offer any code for non-TI microcontrollers such as the stm32f407 platform.  The TIOL111 is a pin-controlled device and does not require any form of register configuration that would require a specific driver.  If you need an IO-Link firmware stack for your stm32407 microcontroller, I would suggest you contact a 3rd party developer that can provide one to you such as TE Concept which looks like they already support the stm32f4.

    We do have an 8-port IO-Link master reference design (TIDA-010016) that uses the TIOL111 with a Sitara AM437x processor that you can reference.  This design has been updated to work with the new Sitara AM243x processor and you can find examples in the Software Development Kit for AM243x SitaraTm microcontrollers.  A general purpose EVM and a LaunchPad are available for evaluation.  But because this is a new development, not all boards are available, in particular the 8-port IO-Link Master BoosterPack that is a refreshed version of the TIDA-010016.  This board should be available sometime in the next couple of months.

    These are the only IO-Link master examples I am aware of with TI microcrontrollers.  All other IO-Link device reference designs using other TI microcontrollers use a 3rd party IO-Link firmware licensed from a company such as TE Concept.
