operating information
Overview
The DC2228A implements a complete IO-Link Master for
eight ports. Two LTC2874 quad-master IC’s provide power
and signaling for the physical interface (PHY). The IO-Link
stack protocol runs on one core of a dual-core NXP LPC43
microcontroller. The other core runs an Ethernet port for
connecting to a PC running a control program.
A 90W LTPoE++™Power over Ethernet system supports
alternative power from sourcing equipment such as a
PoE injector or PoE switch. The LTPoE++ circuits use an
LT4321 ideal diode bridge and an LT4275 PD controller,
and feed into an isolated flyback converter controlled by
an LT3748.
Four IO-Link ports connect directly to the LPC43’s built-
in UARTs, while the remaining four use a port expander
application run by an Atmel SAM4N MCU.
Supporting functional blocks include a step-down switch-
ing regulator that uses an LT3682 to produce a regulated
3.3V supply for both microcontrollers, and a temperature
sensor made with an LTC2997.
Compatibility
The DC2228A and Control Tool software will operate any
device compliant with IEC 61131-9 Single-Drop Commu-
nication Interface (SDCI), commonly known as IO-Link.
Switch and Button Controls
S1: Power Source Selector. Selects between external 24V
(switch up) and PoE (switch down) sources.
SW1 (RESET): Resets the NXP microcontroller and Eth-
ernet connection.
SW2 (IP): Sets the current IP address as the default.
Connectors
J1: Ethernet jack
J5: External 24V power
J16: JTAG programming interface for NXP LPC43 micro-
controller. Factory use only.
J18: JTAG programming interface for Atmel SAM4 micro-

Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The DC2228A optionally operates using power supplied
over an Ethernet connection, eliminating the need for a
local power supply. To use this mode:
a. Set the power source selector (S1) to the PoE position.
b. Connect a PoE injector (Figure 3), PoE switch, or
other Power Sourcing Equipment capable of 90W (for
example, an LTPoE++ demo board, DC1814A-D) to its
power adapter or supply.
c. Connect an Ethernet cable between J1 and the PoE
injector/switch output.
d. Connect an Ethernet cable between the PoE injector/
switchinput and thePCrunningthe ControlToolsoftware.
Because the DC2228A is nominally classified as a 90W
LTPoE++ PD (Powered Device), it requires a PSE rated at
this power level for unrestricted operation.
Limited operation with a PSE rated for less power is pos-
sible, but the classification must be changed using Table5.
For example, to operate using a 13W PoE injector, remove
the J42 shunt (keeping the J41 shunt in place) and restrict
the total power consumption accordingly.
A PSE rating below 90W might easily be adequate, depend-
ing on the actual power consumed by devices connected
to eight ports. This consideration must take into account
whether the C/Q lines will drive DC loads (e.g., in SIO
mode) or only connect with IO-Link devices.
For additional guidance regarding PoE classification set-
tings, refer to the LT4275 data sheet.

operating information
TVS Protection
The C/Q and L+ pins are protected by 36V TVS diodes. Do
not connect to any voltage higher than 30V.
Thermal Protection
If the DC2228A board temperature reaches 80°C, the Con-
trol Tool software reports a “TEMP-FAULT” and disables
operation. The thermal sensor Q19 is located underneath
flyback transformer T1.
L+ Diode Isolation
If L+ isolation is desired, remove 0Ω resistors R158 to
R165 which normally shunt Schottky diodes D28 to D35.
Demonstration Board Options
The DC2228A reference design demonstrates LTC2874
operating in an 8-port IO-Link master system. Its two
LTC2874 IC’s operate under the control of the IO-Link v1.1
protocol stack coded in microcontroller firmware. Control
Tool software provides access to a limited set of LTC2874
features but is oriented toward operating IO-Link devices
that connect to the DC2228A ports.
The default internal register settings for the on-board
LTC2874 IC’s are listed in Table 6.
Another demonstration board, DC1880A, provides access
to all LTC2874 features and more direct access to its SPI
register.

Dc2228a control tool
Overview
The DC2228A Control Tool configures and operates the
8-port IO-Link Master via an Ethernet connection. It
controls and monitors the status of each port, while also
providing access to the parametric register data within
each connected IO-Link device.
The Control Tool supports DHCP for dynamic IP address
assignments, or can operate using a fixed IP address.
Along with some navigation aids, the main window is
shown in Figure 6.
Installation
Download the software from www.linear.com/demo/
DC2228A and follow the on-screen instructions.
IO-Link Device Configuration
For any port that will operate an IO-Link device, load the
device’s IO Device Description, or IODD, file (Figure 7):
1. Click “Select device” button.
2. If IODD file isn’t already listed, click “Import” button,
select the {IODD}.xml file, and then click “Open.”
3. Highlight the IODD file to be assigned and click the
“Select device” button.
Normal Configuration for Network Connection using
DHCP
Normally, the Control Tool connects with the DC2228A
via Ethernet connections to a local area network (LAN),
in which case network-assigned IP addresses are usually
expected. To configure for dynamic IP address assign-
ment by DHCP, both the PC and the DC2228A must each
be configured for this mode. However, for the PC, this is
usually already the case, and it’s also the default mode
for the DC2228A.
1. Connect Ethernet cables per Figure 1 (if using a power
supply) or Figure 4 (if using PoE).
2. As needed, set the PC settings per the section Configur-
ing a PC to Operate with DHCP-Assigned IP Address.
3. Apply power from either a 24V power supply or PoE
power sourcing equipment.
4. Start the Control Tool software.
5. Find the IP address assigned to the DC2228A as follows:
a. Open a Command Window.
b. Get the PC IPv4 address returned by:
ipconfig
c. In the Control Tool, run Master settings →Find. Set
the IP address range to span the subnet that includes
the PC’s IP address from Step 5b; then click the
“Search” button.
d. When the utility finishes running, note the IP address
listed following “IO-Link Master connected on ad-
dress:”
6. Enter the DC2228A communication settings
(Figures 8a and 8b):
IP address = {from step 5}
Port = 7
7. Connect the Control Tool to the DC2228A using the
green “Connect” button (Figure 8c and 8d).
NOTE: to re-enable DHCP behavior after using the
DC2228A with a fixed IP address, use the procedure
givenin the section One-Time DC2228A configuration to
Restore DHCP Behavior after using a Fixed IP Address.
Alternate Configuration for Fixed IP Address
To use a fixed IP address, first configure both the PC and
the DC2228A for this mode:
1. Connect Ethernet cables according to Figure 2 (if using
a power supply) or Figure 5 (if using PoE).
2. Configure the PC to operate with a fixed IP address
using the procedure given in the section Configuring a
PC to Operate with Fixed IP Addresses.
3. Configure the DC2228A to operate with a fixed IP
address using the procedure given in the section One-
Time DC2228A Configuration to Use a Fixed IP Address
Instead of DHCP.

dc2228af
DEMO MANUAL DC2228A
Dc2228a control tool
4. Apply power from either a 24V power supply or PoE
power sourcing equipment.
5. Start the Control Tool software.
6. Enter the DC2228A communication settings (Figure 8a
and 8b). Using the default address:
IP address = 192.168.10.150
Port = 7
NOTE: The default IP address can be changed using
the procedure given in the section One Time DC2228A
configuration to change the fixed IP address.
7. Connect the Control Tool to the DC2228A using the
green “Connect” button (Figure 8c and 8d).
IO-Link Operation
To operate a connected device that’s been configured for
IO-Link operation (Figure 9):
1. Click the “Power ON” button to supply power to the
device.
2. Click the “IO-Link” button to begin communication.
3. Operate IO-Link device. For a typical sensor thisinvolves
monitoring process data and events.
4. Click the “Inactive” and “Power OFF” buttons when
done.
Digital Input Operation
To operate in DI mode (Figure 10), for receiving data from
a device connected to the C/Q line:
1. If an IODD file has been associated with the port,
remove it using Select device →Exit and not select.
When powered, the connected device will now run in
Standard IO (SIO) mode.
2. Click the “Power ON” button to supply power to the device.
3. Click the “DI” button. The Raw Process Data In field
will monitor the digital state at the C/Q pin.
4. In the case of a DC2227A device, the C/Q state can be
changed by interacting with its light sensor.
5. Click the “Inactive” and “Power OFF” buttons when done.
Digital Output Operation
To operate in DO mode (Figure 11), for switching the C/Q
line as a Standard IO (SIO) output:
1. If an IODD file has been associated with the port,
remove it using Select device →Exit and not select.
When powered, the connected device will now run in
Standard IO (SIO) mode.
2. Consider whether the connected device will tolerate a
C/Q driver conflict. If conflicts occur, master C/Q over-
current events could be triggered (see Fault Conditions
section). If connected to a DC2227A, be aware that the
device output state in SIO mode is determined by its
light sensor. The DC2228A and DC2227A won’t damage
each other. Other devices could be stronger or weaker
than the DC2228A, and might not tolerate a conflict.
3. Click the “Power ON” button to supply power to the device.
4. Click the “DO” button and “OK” the confirmation mes-
sage.
5. Click the “High” or “Low” radio buttons to switch the
C/Q state.
6. Click the “Inactive” and “Power OFF” buttons when
done.
Fault Conditions
If the Control Tool detects a fault on any port, it reports, in
red, a Master PHY event at the bottom of the main window.
The operator may query faults using the Master settings
→Check PHY events pull-down menu. After fixing the
underlying condition, the operator may clear faults using
the same pull-down menu.
