INDUSTRY STANDARDS — FOR THE COMMON GOOD

According to CIP4, JDF Certification shouldn’t be interpreted as “plug-and-play” connectivity. Any two JDF-enabled devices that are interfaced will still need to be set up appropriately in order to communicate seamlessly.

Serving as the foundation for this testing are the Interoperability Conformance Specification (ICS) documents developed by the various technical working groups of CIP4. Products are to be assessed based on their stated level of JDF support: read (manager), write (worker) or both.
