The DC2228A is a complete eight-port IO-link master reference design that uses two LTC2874 quad master ICs to implement its IO-Link v1.1 physical interface. The DC2228A operates with either an external 24V supply or via Power over Ethernet. An onboard dual-core NXP LPC43 microcontroller runs the DC2228A's protocol stack, while a TEConcept software control tool operates the board directly from a Windows PC or remotely over Ethernet for more accurate factory floor simulation.
The DC2227A is a complete IO-Link device reference design that uses an LT3669-2 device transceiver IC for communication and for powering an onboard temperature sensor, light sensor and incandescent lamp, leveraging the LT3669-2's ±60V line protection and high current driving capabilities - a 300mA step-down regulator and 150mA LDO. An onboard Atmel SMART SAM3S series microcontroller runs the DC2227's protocol stack, while TEConcept I/O Device Description (IODD) files support both IO-Link and SIO device operation.
