KUNBUS

IO-Link Wireless DTKs

With our development toolkits you can integrate IO-Link Wireless technology into your devices in the most flexible way. Our toolkits are available for both Master and Device development.

Technologically, KUNBUS has chosen the CC265x microcontroller from Texas Instruments for IO-Link Wireless. Compared to other microcontrollers on the market, the CC265x offers high performance at very low power consumption. This allows potential applications with energy self-sufficient sensors, which are also covered by the IO-Link Wireless standard. The integrated ARM-based application controller enables a single-chip design without separate controllers. The hardware footprint and costs can thus be significantly reduced.

Thanks to the exact synchronization of the single radios, the IO-Link Wireless Master stack supports the implementation of 5 tracks with 40 connected Devices (sensors or actuators). Up to 3 Masters shall be able to communicate with up to 120 Devices at the same time within one RF area. The maximum distance between Master and Device is up to 20 meters. For a seamless integration of an IOLink Wireless Master into the superordinate fieldbus or industrial Ethernet level, KUNBUS also offers various interface solutions for all common industrial network protocols, such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT.
