DeviceNet is a network protocol used in the automation industry to interconnect control devices for data exchange. It utilizes the Common Industrial Protocol over a Controller Area Network media layer and defines an application layer to cover a range of device profiles.
What is DeviceNet? DeviceNet is an industrial communication protocol developed by Rockwell Automation and now maintained by the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association).
DeviceNet® is a digital, multi-drop fieldbus network that connects and serves as a communication network between industrial controllers and I/O devices, providing users with a cost-effective network to distribute and manage simple devices throughout the architecture.
DeviceNet is an open industrial networking protocol that uses Controller Area Network (CAN) technology to connect industrial automation devices on a single network trunk.
DeviceNet is based on the Controller Area Network (CAN) technology and provides a reliable and efficient means of connecting devices such as sensors, actuators, and other automation components.
This technology page presents an operational description of DeviceNet, a low-level industrial application layer protocol for industrial automation applications. DeviceNet connects simple industrial devices (sensors and actuators) with higher-level devices such as programmable controllers.
DeviceNet is an application-level protocol used in the automation environment. It is a communication tool that allows you to logically talk between a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and many control devices, such as motors, conveyors, flowmeters, level sensors, etc.
DeviceNet® is an open network developed by an American company, Rockwell Automation, Inc., in the 1990s. Now, it is managed, certified, and promoted by ODVA (formerly Open DeviceNet Vendors Association, Inc.).
