Description: # iolink
        
        IO-Link is a standardized point-to-point connection down at the edge layer of the factory automation pyramid.
        
        The `iolink` Python package allows access to IO-Link devices from within Python, 
        by providing a common abstraction layer to different IO-Link adapters.
        
        Note that for now, only the iqLink device is supported and only under Windows.
        
        ## Installation
        
        Use pip to install the libary.
        
        ```
        pip install iolink
        ```
        
        ## Example usage
        
        This example prints the product name of a connected device, by reading out the standard ISDU parameter 0x12.
        
        ```python
        import iolink
        
        # create a port instance
        with iolink.get_port(interface='iqLink') as port:
            # change state of the connected device to "Operate"
            port.change_device_state_to('Operate')
            # read standard ISDU
            isdu_0x12_data = port.read_device_isdu(0x12)
            # convert the received bytes object that's supposed
            # to be an ASCII string to a standard Python 3 string
            # and print the result
            print(f'Product Name: {isdu_0x12_data.decode("utf8")}')
        ```
