TEConcept develops IO-Link protocol stacks for masters and devices as well as tools for conformance tests.<\/p>\n<p>Industry 4.0 and smart factory requirements have resulted in integration of IO-Link (IEC 61131-9) connectivity becoming increasingly important when developing products for the industrial market.<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturers designing an IO-Link multiport Master typically implement the interface protocol on a dedicated microcontroller.<\/p>\n<p>The protocol stack is usually licensed from a third-party technology provider as the development of a new stack can be expensive and time consuming.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, this approach still introduces considerable NRE costs and requires porting the stack to a microcontroller and an IO-Link transceiver.<\/p>\n<p>To help developers reduce time to market, Arrow worked with TEConcept to produce a new family of devices based on STM32L-Series \u00a0microcontrollers and IO-Link ICs like the L6360 and L6362 from STMicroelectronics.<\/p>\n<p>The first offering, IOLM4P-STM32L, includes the proven TEConcept IO-Link Master stack and supports the connection of up to four independent IO-Link Devices at cycle times down to 400 \u00b5s.<\/p>\n<p>It is controlled via a simple SPI-based command interface by host systems that typically connect to field busses or proprietary backplane busses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arrow awarded Best Performing Distributor for Standard Products by STMicroelectronics<\/strong><\/p>\n<span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/embedded-world-sensor-to-sunset-off-from-arrow-electronics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arrow Electronics<\/a><\/span> has been honoured by STMicroelectronics by being named Best Performing Distributor for Standard Products in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The award, which was bestowed at an event in Munich in May, recognises the exceptional growth achieved by Arrow in the sales of ST\u2019s commodity products during the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Mauro Mandara, group vice president EMEA Channel at STMicroelectronics said: \u201cArrow\u2019s results with our standard products in the past year were so outstanding and we wanted to mark the achievement with a formal recognition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs part of that effort, we would especially like to thank all the dedicated members of Arrow\u2019s sales and technical teams who contributed to such a successful year with ST.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8448\" style=\"width: 504px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ARP046_ST_Award_LRES.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8448\" src=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ARP046_ST_Award_LRES.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ARP046_ST_Award_LRES.jpg 504w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ARP046_ST_Award_LRES-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul J.
