What is Device Net?
DeviceNet is a digital, multi-drop fieldbus network used to connect industrial devices, such as sensors, actuators, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), in a manufacturing environment. It's based on the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol and is commonly used for control and data acquisition in industrial automation applications. ODVA maintains the standard.
