PlugFest for EtherNet/IP
PlugFest is an interoperability event facilitated by ODVA Members that provides an opportunity for EtherNet/IP product vendors to test their products against a suite of interoperability tests with a number of other product and infrastructure vendors. Developers participate in PlugFest to get insight into any possible interoperability problems before they are discovered in the field. Learn more in detail.
