iPCF

Documentation of test cases

This folder contains pcapng files captured during a session with Siemens Scalance W700 devices using the iPCF feature.

Some requests where produced on a laptop connected to a Scalance W700 device working as client. This was done via the requests.sh script to produce payload content.

Testno. clients channel cycle time in ms protocol support scanning Mode iPCF-LF
1 1 157 16 Ethernet/IP All disabled
2 1 161 16 Ethernet/IP All disabled
3 1 157 32 Ethernet/IP All disabled
4 1 157 16 PROFINET All disabled
5 2 157 16 Ethernet/IP All disabled
6 1 157 16 Ethernet/IP Next disabled
7 1 157 16 Ethernet/IP All enabled

All files have been filtered (only type 3 frames)

Thus, the following variables are currently considered in the testfiles:

  • amount of connected clients
  • channel in use
  • iPCF cycle time in ms
  • protocol support
  • scanning mode
  • iPCF-LF (legacy free)
