DeviceNet is used to control valves, sensors, I/O units and automation equipment in
industrial automation. The DeviceNet communication link is based on a
broadcast-oriented, communication protocol, the Controller Area Network (CAN).
This protocol has I/O response and a high reliability even for demanding
applications, for example control of brakes.
Network connection
To secure a reliable communication on the bus, the "drop lines" are restricted in the
DeviceNet standard to a maximum length of 6 metres (20 ft).
Note! Correct termination of the bus is essential for a reliable communication.
