How IO-Link Works

Hello everyone,

I have a board with STM32G4 and L6362 on it.

But I have several questions about IO-Link itself.

I want to know about sensor types on the IO-Link bus.

If I want to make an encoder, what type of profile should define, or if I want to make a simple temperature sensor, what IO-Link profile should I implement?

And is there any detailed information about the protocol itself that explains how it is structured?

Thank you for your response.

I have read this before but it does not contain what I am looking for.

I am looking for a detailed description of the IO-Link protocol. For example, MODBUS is a well-documented protocol (https://www.modbus.org/docs/PI_MBUS_300.pdf).

I exactly know what should I send (as a master device), what should expect (as a slave device), when should I receive what (as a master/slave device).

I am looking for this kind of explanation. Is there any?
