HART-IP Server Test Specification Released
Call for Prototype HART-IP Servers for Alpha Test Program FieldComm Group is excited to announce the release of the HART-IP Server Test Specification to all Members.
FCG TT20008 {1.0} is the first version of the HART-IP Server Test Specification providing a foundation for the Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) of HART-IP devices. More specifically, the standardized test plans included in it will facilitate the registration of both HART-IP field devices and I/O systems such as gateways and remote I/Os. Overview of the Test Specification The HART-IP Server Test Specification focuses on the communication's Network Layer that provides the connection between standard TCP/IP communication services and the HART Application Layer (HART Commands). It includes assessments of the following: - Session establishment and management
- Sequence number management
- HART-IP Request, Response and Burst/Publishing packets
- Message identifier handling
- HART message (command) management
Proper operation Token Passing and Direct HART Application Layer packets as well as Audit Logs are assessed. Fuzzing of HART-IP requests is performed to ensure HART-IP communication is robust. Call for Prototypes FieldComm Group has developed test automation to align with the HART-IP Server Test Specification. We invite developers interested in early access to this test automation to participate in an alpha test program. Participation requires providing a sample of your HART-IP Server to FieldComm Group to facilitate validation of this test automation. Participants are required to own a HART Test System with the latest updates installed, version 3.6. |
