PROFINET Test Bundle

PROFINET , PROFINET PA , ETS , SXP

Description:

The PROFINET test bundle supports the development of PROFINET interfaces for field devices and controllers. It can be used as a means for preparation of the mandatory certification tests.

 

This bundle contains:
RT-Tester (ART),
IRT-Tester (SPIRTA),
TEDCheck,
Netload Robustness 100Mbit/s (now integrated in ART),
Test Specification,
PN Specification,
all PN relevant Guidelines,
Test cases for all RT-/IRT-/NetloadRobustness100Mbit/s- tests and
GSDML specification.

The goal of this test system is to have all the necessary documents and test systems for RT and IRT combined in one bundle with all the electronic test cases to be performed during a certification test.

Version 2026-08-26 (V2.50.0)

This test bundle V2.50.0 R shall be used for certification testing of PROFINET devices and/or controllers of ConformanceClasses A , B, and E and devices of ConformanceClass C. Device and controller certification are fully based on the Embedded Test System (ETS). It also covers certification tests for Netload Robustness 100Mbit/s.

 

The latest state of PA Profile 4 and APL tests for device certification is included as well.

 

In addition to the official test bundle, a separate trial bundle with the pilot versions of other test cases and the latest state of development is available. This allows developers to gain early experience with new test cases and technologies. You will find this trial version here:

temp_accepted_behavior document

This document describes the situation about special behaviors of some devices that are accepted in an interim period and are not accepted in later versions any more. This document may be updated when new such behaviors are detected or tests are updated.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

With the release of Test Bundle V2.50.0, the test cases of version V2.50.0 are now available for the PC-based ETS platform. The early availability of the new test cases was particularly important to us.

Therefore, we decided to publish the release already at this stage.

Unfortunately, the open issues related to the TI-IDK-based ETS platform could not be resolved in time. As a result, this integration is not included in the current bundle.
