How to test Encoder profile compatible devices for certification

[S.Ogura]

Thank you for your help.

I'm currently designing and debugging a device that supports the Encoder Profile.
I'm trying to verify it using a certification test tool.

One of the certification test tools is called "Automated RT-Tester."
Can this tester be used to test devices that support the Encoder Profile (related to the PROFIdrive Profile)?

When creating a new project after launching the tester, the first step, "Project settings," appears, and a dialog screen appears where you can load the DUT's GSDML and set the configuration.
I'm sure this depends on the content of the GSDML, but I'm having trouble selecting and configuring PROFIdrive module items.
Is it possible to test devices that include the Encoder Profile with this tool?

There is also a separate certification test tool called the "PROFIdrive Profile Tester."
Could you please explain how to use these two tools?

Thank you in advance.

The "Automated RT-Tester" is the official certification test tool for PROFINET.
This tester can also be used to test devices that support the Encoder Profile. (the support of additional profiles doesn't care)
The GSDML version/PNIO version shall be at least V2.44 and the file itself should be checked with the GSD-Editor for correct syntax (https://www.profibus.com/download/profinet-gsd-editor) in advance.
Taking this into consideration, you should be able to select the relevant modules/submodules.

The PROFIdrive Profile Tester is used to test the correct behavior of devices implementing the PROFIdrive Profile or the Encoder Profile. To get the tester running it is recommended to have a look into the user guide, which is part of the Bundle.

Dear Raik,

Thank you for your reply.

I understand.

I have obtained the sample GSDML, but I have confirmed that the module configuration cannot be selected depending on the DAP selected.

I understand that it is possible to test IRT devices as is.

I would also like to try the profile tester.

Thank you.
