Conformance to a protocol standard is the foundation for problem-free interaction of devices from different manufacturers in the same network.This interoperability is essential for the success of a communication technology. Therefore, the EtherCAT Technology Group attaches great importance to the conformance of EtherCAT devices: All ETG member companies commit to testing their devices with the EtherCAT Conformance Test Tool (CTT) before market release.

Recently, the 20th meeting of the Semiconductor Technical Working Group of the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG), the so-called TWG Semi, took place. The digital meeting provided time not only for work, but also celebration. After all, it has been 10 years since the working group launched at an official kick-off meeting. 

The EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) announced it recently hosted its first EtherCAT Interoperability Testing Week.
