ZMD AG (ZMDI), an award-winning global semiconductor company headquartered in Dresden, Germany, and specializing in enabling energy-efficient solutions, today announces that it will be exhibiting in association with PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V. at the SPS IPC Drives 2015 tradeshow, a leading exhibition for electric automation technology covering products ranging from complete systems down to integrated automation solutions. ZMDI will be demonstrating their highly reliable technology at booth 220 in Hall 2, which is shared with PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V. With over 50 years of industry leadership, ZMDI offers superior solutions for power management, sensing, battery management, automotive ASICs and industrial ASSPs. An analog mixed-signal company, ZMDI designs solutions for automotive, industrial, medical, information technology and consumer applications.

SPS IPC Drives 2015 promises to be an excellent venue for ZMDI to showcase their ZIOL2xxx Line Driver ICs for IO-Link applications. This family of universal and IO-Link-standard-compatible cable drivers is designed for sensor/actuator systems in factory automation. ZMDI is part of the IO-Link community and a member of the IO-Link Steering Committee. IO-Link is one of the fastest growing markets in automation industry, and ZMDI is at the center of that growth.

In partnership with IQ² Development GmbH, ZMDI provides universal IO-Link reference designs that were designed by Cypress:

• Universal IO-Link device equipped with ZIOL2401 Line Driver IC, Cypress FM0+ Microcontroller and IQ² Development IO-Link stack
• 2 Port IO-Link master with two ZIOL2401 Line Driver ICs, Cypress FM4 Microcontroller and IQ² Development IO-Link stack

“We look forward to demonstrating our intelligent and most reliable IO-Link-compliant line driver IC family, and we hope to see you there,” stated Markus Buchheim, Application Engineer for ZMDI. Meetings with the ZMDI team at this year’s SPS IPC Drives 2015 event can be requested and scheduled.
