Certification of Profinet IO devices is now available
For the Profibus Nutzerorganisation eV (PNO), certification is a proven quality control measure for ensuring interoperability in automation systems. An initial version of the certification of Profinet IO devices has been established for quite some time but, for Conformance Class A, full certification of Profinet IO devices is now available. The certificate for a Profinet device provides evidence of the quality of the implemented Profinet interface.

In order to reduce the testing costs associated with development, the new Profinet IO-Tester offers developers an automated, modular test system. The Profinet IO-Tester supports the preparation of Profinet certification tests and contains automated test cases, which are also used for certification in test laboratories. Apart from the automated tests, the testing experts also perform additional, mostly manual, tests for the certification. When using the Profinet IO-Tester, users can immediately benefit from the extensive knowledge and years of experience of the test laboratory.
The Profinet IO-Tester can be obtained from both Profinet test laboratories, ComDeC and itm.
