Interoperability test
CAN in Automation is proud to offer from this day forward the service of interoperability testing in CAN in Automation`s testing laboratory. Through the support of member companies such as Fritz Kübler, Ixxat Automation, Maxon Precision Motors, Micro Control, Port as well as Posital, Schneider Electric Automation and Vector Informatik a special test stand was built up for this purpose.
The interoperability test is a service for member companies. The aim of the interoperability test is to assure that CANopen devices are capable of interacting with a variety of other CANopen devices from multiple vendors, all integrated in the test stand. The heart of the test stand is the mid range PLC for industrial process and infrastructure – Modicon M340 from Schneider Electric used for the configuration of the devices. Further the test stand is equipped with a variety of other CANopen devices, such as I/O modules, encoders, drives and so on.
With the CAN in Automation interoperability test, that also includes a stress test, companies are able to assure their customers that there CANopen devices have no problem in getting configured with a Schneider-PLC and further, are able to interact in a network with other CANopen devices without trouble. For detailed information how the carried out tests precisely look like, please contact the CiA office (headquarters(at)can-cia.org) and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
