IO-Link Stacks (Device & Master) – core components for your development

Our IO-Link stacks form the technical foundation for reliable and standard-compliant IO-Link devices and master systems. Whether Device Stack, Master Stack, or already Safety Master Stack and soon Safety Device Stack – with our stacks, you receive tested software modules that can be flexibly integrated into your products. This ensures compliance with IO-Link specifications and accelerates your development processes. Our stacks can be easily tested on various eval kits from our MCU partners.

The Right Solution for Every Development

We don’t just deliver technology — we deliver product readiness. Our stacks are always fully ported and tailored to your hardware.

IO-Link Device Stack

A standards-compliant software component for implementing IO-Link in your own sensors and actuators – fully ported to your target hardware, including source code and documentation.

IO-Link Master Stack

A software stack for developing standards-compliant IO-Link master systems and gateways – flexibly adaptable to your hardware and fieldbus environment, with regular specification updates.

IO-Link Safety Master Stack

Extension of the Master Stack with IO-Link Safety – for standards-compliant, safety-related communication in automation applications.

IO-Link Safety Device Stack (in progress)

Will enable IO-Link Safety integration in sensors and actuators in the future. Contact us for more information about the planned release.

Evalkits IO-Link Device Stack

A pre-configured hardware platform for immediately testing and evaluating the IO-Link Device Stack – ideal for getting started without requiring your own hardware.

Evalkits IO-Link Master Stack

A reference platform for evaluating the IO-Link Master Stack in a real hardware environment – suitable for prototyping and initial integration testing.

IO-Link 1-Port Master Module

A ready-made IO-Link master module with one port – ideal for direct integration into existing devices and OEM designs, with no need to develop custom hardware.

IO-Link 4-Port Master Modul

An IO-Link master module with four ports for applications requiring simultaneous connection of multiple sensors or actuators – scalable and easy to integrate.

Whether it’s an IO-Link stack, a master module, or IO-Link evaluation kits from our partners

Our modular stacks support you in implementing your IO-Link project in a focused and goal-oriented way.
