SPIDER Automation STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IOM001V1 Evaluation Board | L6360 IO-Link Master Transceiver | For Industrial Automation & Sensor Development
Description
SPIDER Automation STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IOM001V1 Evaluation Board provides engineers, developers, and industrial automation specialists with an affordable, ready-to-use development platform for evaluating IO-Link communication features and system robustness. Centered around the L6360 IO-Link master transceiver, the board complies fully with the IO-Link v1.1 protocol and interfaces smoothly with STM32 Nucleo microcontrollers through UART and GPIO signaling.
Engineered for rugged industrial environments, the STEVAL-IOM001V1 supports an operating voltage input from 18V to 32.5V DC. It incorporates sophisticated protection circuits including non-dissipative cut-off functions for L+ and CQ line overloads, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection. By modifying simple solder bridges, developers can connect up to four evaluation boards together to build multi-port industrial IO-Link master modules, making it an exceptionally flexible solution for smart factory and sensor network prototyping.
