Fast Fieldbus Registration
The ITK Automation Tool is designed to eliminate several manual intervention steps required when performing pre-registration testing of H1 fieldbus devices. The new tool is compatible with the existing AT-420 ITK Interoperability Testing Kit, which includes the automation calls to toggle relays. Using the new tool, device developers can run continuous, unaccompanied ITK test schedules overnight. The ITK Automation Tool incorporates relays to automatically switch power on/off, enable/disable the simulate jumper, and write protect jumper—all triggered by existing test cases in the AT-420 ITK.
