Introduction

This is the integration manual of the IO-Link^® Master stack including an example application.

There are two different APIs to communicate with the IO-Link stack library:

• SMI - The Standardized Master Interface (SMI) is a generic interface, which is set on top of the stack's regular API. It matches the interface with other IO-Link standards and acts as a connecting interface for multiple clients. It also includes the configuration management and event dispatching.
• API without SMI - Use this API if you want to directly access the lower level System Management and Application Layer services.

Only one of these interfaces can be used.
