Chapter 1 Introducing DN912
1.4 Standards
DeviceNet has been standardized and specified by Rockwell Automation as a device level network for factory
automation. Currently, a non-profit organization called ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association) plays a
leading role in maintaining, expanding, and introducing compatible products for DeviceNet.
DeviceNet standards include "Volume I: DeviceNet Communication Model and Protocol" and "Volume II:
DeviceNet Device Profiles and Object Library". These documents set hardware and software standards.
Volume I and Volume II are each version controlled as [Release *. *].
The device net standards that DN912 conforms to are Volume I-Release 1.3 and Volume II-Release 1.2.
