19.1 EtherCAT Summary over Vendor ID, Conformance Test,
Membership and Network Logo
19.1.1
Vendor ID
The communication interface product is shipped with Hilscher’s secondary
vendor ID, which has to be replaced by the Vendor ID of the company
shipping end products with the integrated communication interface. End
Users or Integrators may use the communication interface product without
further modification if they re-distribute the interface product (e.g. PCI
Interface card products) only as part of a machine or machine line or as
spare part for such a machine. In case of questions, contact Hilscher and/or
your nearest ETG representative. The ETG Vendor-ID policies apply.
19.1.2
Conformance
EtherCAT Devices have to conform to the EtherCAT specifications. The
EtherCAT Conformance Test Policies apply, which can be obtained from
the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG, www.ethercat.org).
Hilscher range of embedded network interface products are conformance
tested for network compliance. This simplifies conformance testing of the
end product and can be used as a reference for the end product as a
statement of network conformance (when used with standard operational
settings). It must however be clearly stated in the product documentation
that this applies to the network interface and not to the complete product.
Conformance Certificates can be obtained by passing the conformance test
in an official EtherCAT Conformance Test lab. Conformance Certificates
are not mandatory, but may be required by the end user.
