Appendix B: Conformance Test Guide
It is recommended to read the CIP Protocol Test Specification and the EtherNet/IP Test
Specification prior to testing. In these documents the expected response and/or the acceptable
behavior are stated, which is useful to be able to avoid a lot of initial errors. Modifications can be
made to the Statement of Conformance and to the host application at an early stage, reducing
time and effort.
B.3.1
Implementation Using the Anybus Custom Modbus Function Code 70
The implementation may have to be adapted, to make sure that the end product will pass a
conformance test. Using the CT Software, follow the instructions below.
The implementation has impact on the following CIP object: Identity Object (01h). It also has
impact on how the STC is configured. The following need to be considered.
Vendor ID
The Vendor ID must match the Vendor name in the CT software and the STC.
Fig. 5
First time EtherNet/IP vendors may not find their name available from the drop down menu, as
it's not certain that the test software has been updated. It is possible to pre-test with any Vendor
ID in the list, to reduce the number of errors reported due to Vendor ID mismatch, as long as the
Vendor ID is changed in both the device and in the STC before actual conformance testing.
Alternatively, vendors can add the vendor information to the VID.dat file.
Product Code
The Product Code must match the Product Code in the drop down list:
Fig. 6
Revision
The Revision must match the revision field <major>. <minor>.
Fig. 7
Serial Number
The current version of CT test does not check serial number.
