Explanation of terms

DeviceNet
• DeviceNet is a field bus system based on the CAN protocol (Controller Area Network). It permits the
networking of actuators and sensors (slaves) with higher ranking control devices (masters).
• In the DeviceNet the TOP Control Continuous is a slave device according to the Predefined Master/
Slave Connection Set defined in the DeviceNet specification. Polled I/0, Bit Strobed I/O and Change of
State (COS) are supported as I/O connection variants.
• With the DeviceNet a distinction is made between cyclic or event-controlled transferred process
messages of high priority (I/O Messages) and acyclic management messages of low priority (Explicit
Messages).
• The protocol sequence corresponds to DeviceNet Specification Release 2.0.
