An interoperability test system for IEEE 1451.5–802.11 Standard

Interoperability is the ability of systems or software applications to communicate with each other. Interoperability testing verifies that systems can work together based on a standard protocol in an operational environment. This paper introduces an interoperability test system for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1451.5-802.11 standard. This system consists of a Standard Network Capable Application Processor (NCAP) and a Standard Wireless Transducer Interface Module (WTIM) developed based on the IEEE 1451.5-802.11 standard. A test case of reading transducer data is provided to verify the interoperability between the Standard NCAP and the Standard WTIM.
