Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAXREFDES79 4-Port IO-Link Master Reference Design

Analog Devices Inc. MAXREFDES79 4-Port IO-Link® Master Reference Design is the world's first public and fully IO-Link®-compliant, 4-port IO-Link master reference design. The IO-Link master is both an IO-Link master reference design, as well as an IO-Link sensor/actuator development and test system. Four IO-Link ports allow for simultaneous testing of four different sensors (or actuators). Green and RGB LEDs located on the side of the cylindrical enclosure provide power and communication status. The reference design has four robust female M12 connectors. It also ships with two black IO-Link cables to quickly connect to IO-Link compatible sensors and actuators. A provided AC-to-DC (24VDC/1A) power-supply cube is capable of providing greater than 200mA simultaneously to each port. The ADI MAXREFDES79 can provide greater than four times that amount if the other ports are unused.
