QUESTION
Do I need the CANopen Conformance test for my devices?
ANSWER
The CANopen conformance test is an optional test. However, it ensures that your device is compliant with the CANopen standard and will not cause issues in a CANopen network. It is therefore recommended that manufacturers submit their devices to CAN in Automation (CiA) for conformance testing.
