1. Requirements
The hardware and software ecosystem have been developed to provide you a quick start and an easy
understanding of the IO-Link fieldbus functionalities and specificities. Contact the local Renesas representatives
to obtain the described devices and development boards.
1.1 Hardware Requirements
The following hardware are necessary to fully evaluate the possibilities of the RH4Z2501:
■RH4Z2501-EVB
■SSC Communication Board (SSC-CB). For detailed information, refer to: SSC-CB - SSC Communication
Board | Renesas
■An IO-Link Master Gateway: available from a 3rd party company:
●In this document, we are using the TMG-USB IO-Link Master V2 SE
●The CCE4510 Evaluation Board –IO-Link Master
1.2 Software Requirements
The Standard Edition (SE) of PC tool “TMG IO-Link Device Tool V5.1 –SE”can only be used with the “TMG-
USB IO-Link Master V2 SE”:
The Professional Edition (PE) of PC tool “TMG IO-Link Device Tool V5.1 –PE”can be used in combination of
any IO-Link Master:
The PC tools can be downloaded here: IO-Link Device Tool - TMG Technologie und Engineering GmbH
2. Setup and Configuration of ZSSC328x
2.1 Hardware Setup
Follow these steps to setup the Evaluation Board as shown on Figure 1:
1. Connect the SSC-CB and the RH4Z2501-EVB
2. Connect the SSC-CB to the user PC by the USB type B cable.
3. Connect the ‘TMG-USB IO-Link Master V2 SE’ to your PC via a micro-USB cable
4. Connect the ‘TMG-USB IO-Link Master V2 SE’ to the RH4Z2501-EVB via a M12 cable

2.2 Firmware
At startup, the application running on the ZSSC328x configures its AFE to read the voltage variation induced by
the potentiometer R9 and it also configures the RH4Z2501 via OWI. After the initial setup, write/read the
processed data via the IO-link device stack provided by TMG.
Note: Renesas do not provide the binary file to be flashed to the target for confidentiality reasons. Therefore, no
Firmware updates needs to be performed to the target.
LED2 and LED3 should switch ON when the board is powered from the IO-Link line.
