DeviceNet (Integrated version)
DeviceNet is used to control valves, sensors, I/O units and automation equipment in
industrial automation. DeviceNet communication link is based on a broadcast-
oriented, communication protocol, the Controller Area Network (CAN).
This protocol has I/O response and 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 maximum length of 6 meters (20 ft.). Note that a correct
termination of the bus is also essential for a reliable communication.
