Re: Help Needed with Pre-Testing Two-Port PROFINET Device Configuration
Hi everyone, I am currently pre-testing a two-port PROFINET device before applying for the actual certification in the lab. I am using an ETS board for testing and following the steps outlined in the product documentation. Here is what I have done so far: Set the IP for the NIC connected to the ETS...

Re: Switch as Profinet I/O device - LLDP support
We are starting development to support Profinet on our switches. We are aiming for Compliance Class B certification. I am trying to look for what are the LLDP TLVs that are to be supported by the switch acting as a Profinet I/O device. Is there a specification I can refer to similar to the 802.1ab(...

Re: IM5_Supported_ETS_ART_2.44.1_Problem
Hello PROFINET Forum experts. I have a couple of problems. For the other I will start another post. This is strange. With ART 2.44.1 we are testing our solution which now supports I&M5 (the previous version didn't so this is the first time I see this.). The ART is telling me that the GSDML file...

Re: Specification for BlockQualifier FactoryReset
The PN protocol specification (2.4MU4) defines the BlockQualifier field for almost all DCP Suboptions (4.3.1.4.11). But I am missing a definition for the Suboption FactoryReset. Shall the value be ignored by the PN device? In contrast, the BlockQualifier for ResetToFactory is used to select the res...

Re: ETS for IRT and Netload
My understanding is that - for IRT testing I need a different setup using the SPIRTA tool and a separate PCIE-Card - for Netload testing I need different setup using the pinetload tool on a Linux machine Would this be correct so far? Yes, that is correct. I do not know roadmap for those topics. I a...

Re: Non-Profinet-neighbor Testcases with ETS-Board
Hello everyone, I have a question about the non-profinet-neighbor test cases with the ETS board (ART tester version 2.44.1.2) If I have understood the test specification correctly, the non-profinet neighbors are simulated. So no additional hardware is required. With the current ART-Tester version, ...

Re: Unexpected LLDP frame from "PROFIBUS" TLV?
Hello Profinet experts, currently I'm working with a certification tool from ODVA (CT20) to test our Ethernet/IP device. Unforunately it raises an error "Received LLDP frame from unexpected Source MAC Address: 00:0a:cd:2c:ed:aa". I examined this LLDP frame with Wireshark and see some inte...

During the early development phase, what is the most effective approach to test the interoperation between the Master and Slave (device) ?
