Datasheet

Figure 4. The Santa Cruz firmware flow chart.
After hot plug-in, Santa Cruz waits for a wake-up signal from the IO-Link master. Once the wake-up signal is received, Santa
Cruz synchronizes to the IO-Link master's 230.4kbps baud rate (COM3). Communication parameters are exchanged. Santa Cruz
then starts a cyclic data exchange every 2ms by sending the sensor process data to the IO-Link master. If the sensor is
removed, the IO-Link master will detect a missing sensor.
Detailed Description of Use Cases
There are two different use cases that you should consider before purchasing Santa Cruz. Use case #1 is simply using the Santa
Cruz, which is pre-programmed right out of the box to connect with a user-supplied IO-Link master and IO-Link cable as shown in
Figure 5. Use case #2 is where the entire firmware development system is needed as shown in Figure 6.
