About the Test Software
The same software used in ODVA’s Independent Test Labs is offered as a subscription service which entitles the Buyer to all updates to the DeviceNet Conformance Test Software for a period of one year.
Why lower prices for Members versus Non-Members?
Members help pay for the administration and start-up expense of the test center(s) and the development of the test software. To reward ODVA Member companies for their support through membership dues and volunteer technical contribution on SIGs, ODVA offers its products and services to Members at prices more favorable than Non-Members.
Test Software will be enhanced continuously
The plan for evolving the Conformance Test Software is just like the DeviceNet Specification — the Test Software will be continuously enhanced by the volunteer technical effort of ODVA Member companies. The focal point of this effort is the Conformance SIG.
Do I need to have ODVA test my product?
No, you do not need to have ODVA test your product. Testing is voluntary. You may also self-test your product and claim compliance to the DeviceNet Specification.
Is there a benefit to having ODVA test my product?
Yes. By having your product tested at ODVA’s Independent Test Lab, you are testing your product with the most thorough test tool available. The test tools are continually enhanced by ODVA Member companies that participate on the Conformance SIG.
How should products be labeled after passing the test?
Product markings indicating Conformance with ODVA testing are expressly prohibited. After the product passes conformance testing, ODVA recommends that manufacturers use the following text in manufacturer’s product literature:
“This product has been [self-tested by the manufacturer] or [ODVA’s authorized Independent Test Lab] and found to comply with ODVA Conformance Test Software Version ______”
If I make enhancements to my product after it has passed the Conformance Test, do I need to retest my product?
No. All product testing is optional. You may want to retest your product (either self-test or at ODVA’s Independent Laboratory) to assure that the products pass the test.
I have a family of products that all use the same software or slight modifications of the same software. Do I need to test each product?
You should use the Conformance Test Software to self-test each product. You only need to test one product at the Independent Laboratory, providing you furnish the Lab and ODVA information about the different products in the product family, how they are similar, and what the variations among the products are. Consult ODVA for information on the Conformance Test Policy.
What version of the DeviceNet Specification should I test my product?
You can self-test to any version of the DeviceNet Specification. It is recommended that you always update your products to the latest release of the Specification so that end users may benefit from enhancements in the latest release. ODVA’s policy is to maintain only the most current version(s) of the Conformance Test to encourage companies to develop products to the most recent version of the Specifications.
