Hello!
We are two students working on IO-Link Wireless as a bachelor thesis project. Our task is to make a Wireless Master prototype using the nrf52840 DK kit from nordic semiconductor. In this project, we have access to a development W-master and a W-bridge running the IO-Link Wireless protocol. As a first step, we are trying to ensure that the radio on the DK board is configured so that it can communicate with the W-bridge. To test this, we decided that it would be good to listen to one of the configuration channels (2401 and 2480) that the protocol uses , and see if we could pick up the "configuration downlink" with our DK-board. The config downlink is a set of Octets of a maximum size of 52 octets, the config downlink is sent in the scanning phase which is the first communication exchange that happens between device and master in the IO-Link Wireless protocol.
To make this work we need to configure the radio so that it can communicate with either one of these devcies that we have been provided in this project. We are using this sample: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/peripheral/radio_test/README.html to configure our radio and try to retrieve some packages. Unfortunately we cant retrieve anything using the rx in this sample,
In the IO-Link wireless specification there is information about the radio setup, Is there anyway to mod the sample that we are using so that the radio will be configured for IO-Link Wireless communication?
The specifications can be found in IO-Link Wireless System Extensions V1.1 page 38 (Base technology) using this link https://io-link.com/en/Download/Download.php?thisID=48
Any information on our strategy for establishing this communication is appreciated; we just want our prototype to work.
Thanks!
