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
Ammendments. The document describes manual tests which are performed by
using a standard EtherCAT master supporting real time and DCs.
The EtherCAT Conformance Test Enhancement Process Guideline
defines the process for enhancements of the EtherCAT Conformance Test.
