Descriptions

The EtherCAT Conformance Guide covers the most important topics about conformance and interoperability, e.g. essential other documents, explanatory notes and how to obtain the test tool or get an EtherCAT device conformance tested.

The EtherCAT Conformance Test Policy describes the conformance testing rules and policies in accordance with the Vendor ID agreement.

The EtherCAT Conformance Test Request is a form to request a Conformance Test for EtherCAT Slave Devices.

The EtherCAT Conformance Test Record is a set of test instructions for the performance of the EtherCAT Conformance Test and documentation of it at the same time. The ZIP file includes a help file for the Conformance Test Tool (CTT), too .The EtherCAT Test Centers (ETCs) perform the official EtherCAT Conformance Test according to those instructions. EtherCAT device vendors should use the Test Record for preparation of the official test.
The CTT tests only devices in non-DC mode. To test the DC mode of a device tests are defined by the Conformance Test Specification Amendments (see ETG.7000-2 Amendment for device with DC mode specification). The document describes manual tests which are performed by using a standard EtherCAT master supporting real time and DCs.

The ETG.7000-2 Amendment for device with DC mode specification V1.0.5.2 is available for review within ETG. It describes test to verify DC behavior of EtherCAT Slaves.
