Identify interoperability issues at EtherNet/IP PlugFest
Aug. 6, 2024
ODVA to hold next event in December
ODVA’s PlugFest event is an opportunity for developers to test products in a live system to ensure their EtherNet/IP product’s interoperability with a number of other product and infrastructure vendors, including the ability to test the product in a system with originators from multiple ODVA members. This three-day event gives real feedback on device performance and possible interoperability problems before they are discovered in the field.
Devices are tested against a predefined test configuration and test procedure EtherNet/IP Interoperability Test Procedures (Pub 95). In addition, although the PlugFest test procedure focuses on testing of standard connections, an opportunity exists to perform additional testing for devices implementing CIP Security or CIP Safety. These tests are based on preliminary draft test plans.
