STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IDP004V2 Evaluation Board

STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IDP004V2 Evaluation Board embeds the STM32F205RB microcontroller and four separate L6360 ICs. Communication with the ICs is implemented via I²C in master mode and is managed by the STM32F205RB MCU. Each L6360 has its own address and shares the bus with the other devices. The STEVAL-IDP004V2 is developed to create a multi-port master based on serial asynchronous communication to support the IO-Link protocol. Each node is equipped with an industrial M12 connector (as recommended by the standard) for connection with a single slave node using a cable (max. length 20m). The wire is a normal three-pole: one for the IO-Link bus, one for the L+ line (positive supply voltage pole), and one for the L- line (negative supply voltage pole). The STEVAL-IDP004V2 board also includes RS-485 bus, CAN bus, and USB hardware interfaces. The layout is designed to meet the requirements for IEC61000-4-2/4/5 for the industrial segment.
