Statement of Conformance (STC)
Important
This document is not a comprehensive guide. Following the steps below will not absolutely guarantee that a device will complete conformance testing.
The goal of this section is to explain the relation the Anybus Objects to the Conformance Test and the Statement of Conformance (STC). The objects listed below exist in the host application, the Anybus CompactCom, and not in the EtherNet/IP interface. The objects are described in the Anybus CompactCom 40 Software Design Guide and in the Anybus CompactCom 40 EtherNet/IP Network 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.
