MAXREFDES27# IO-Link Proximity Sensor Quick Start Guide
1. Required Equipment
• PC with Windows® 7 (Verify with Balluff that your version of Windows is
supported before purchasing their software.)
• Saratoga (MAXREFDES27#) board
• One Balluff USB IO-Link® master (silver box) with corresponding USB and power
cables (This must be purchased separately.)
• Balluff IO-Link Device Tool (tested with version 2.11.1 and comes with the Balluff
USB IO-Link master)
• One IO-Link cable (yellow) (This must be purchased separately.)
• RD27_RL78_V01_XX.ZIP (Maxim-Saratoga-20140318-IODD1.0.1.xml), where
XX = minor version
2. Overview
Below is a high-level overview of the steps required to quickly ge t the Saratoga design
running by connecting it to the Balluff USB IO-Link master and Balluff soft ware. Detail ed
instructions for each step are provided in the following pages. The Saratoga
(MAXREFDES27#) subsystem reference design will be referred to as Saratoga
throughout this document.
1) Connect the A-to-B Type USB cable from the PC and yellow IO-Link cable to the
Balluff USB IO-Link master (silver box with part number BNI USB-901-000-A501)
as shown in Figure 1
2) Connect the MAXREFDES27# proximity sensor board to the other side of the
yellow IO-Link cable. Make sure the green LED is lit as shown in Figure 2. The
red and yellow LEDs do not need to be lit.
3) Download the latest “all design files” RD27V01_XX.ZIP file located at the
Saratoga page.
4) Extract the RD27V01_XX.ZIP file to a directory on your PC.
5) Install the Balluff IO-Link Device Tool.
6) Add the Saratoga proximity sensor as a device into the Balluff IO-Link Device
Tool.
7) Connect to the Saratoga by pressing the online connection button.

3. Included Files
The RD27_RL78_V01_XX.ZIP contains the corresponding IO-Link Device Descriptor
(IODD) files. The IODD contains information on communication properties, device
parameters, identification, process, and diagnostic data. It includes an XML file, an
image of the device, an icon image, and the manufacturer’s logo. The IODD st ructure is
the same for all devices of all manufacturers, and is always represented in the same
way by the IODD interpreter tools.

4. Procedure
1. Connect the A-to-B Type U SB cable from the PC and yellow IO-Link cable to
the Balluff USB IO-Link master (silver box wi th part number BNI USB-901-000A501) as shown in Figure 1.
2. Connect the MAXREFDES27# proximity sensor board to the other side of the
yellow IO-Link cable. Make sure the green LED is lit as shown in Figure 2. The
red and yellow LEDs do not need to be lit.
3. Download the latest “all design files” RD27V01_XX.ZIP file at
www.maximintegrated.com/AN5868. All files available for download are
available at the bottom of the page.
4. Extract the RD27V01_XX.ZIP file to a directory on your PC. The location is
arbitrary but the maximum path length limitation in Windows (260 character s)
should not be exceeded.
5. Install the Balluff IO-Link Device Tool. This tool comes with the pu r c hase of the
Balluff USB IO-Link master (silver box with part number BNI USB-901-000A501). Run the setup.exe file using the Run as administrator mode.
