DeviceNet
Simple CAN-based communication system for networking industrial automation equipment (limit value transmitters, photo sensors, motor starters, frequency-controlled drives, operating terminals, etc.) with higher-level control equipment. Two twisted, shielded pairs of conductors within a cable serve as the transmission medium. One is used for communication (with transmission rates of 125 kbit/s, 250 kbit/s or 500 kbit/s for cable lengths of 500m, 250m or 100m) and the other for supplying power to the connected devices (maximum 8A at 24V DC voltage). Topology: trunk line with spur lines, maximum 64 participants. DeviceNet is mainly used in the USA and Asia. (All information without guarantee)
