Capability and Functionality

• DeviceNet offers robust, efficient data handling
  because it is based on producer/consumer
  technology. This modern communications model
  offers key capabilities that allow the user to
  effectively determine what information is needed
  and when.
• Users also benefit from ODVA's strong conformance
  testing policies, which ensure that products are
  interoperable. As a result, users can
  mix-and-match products from a variety of
  suppliers and integrate them seamlessly.

Capability and Functionality

• Technology
• CAN messaging layer 2 (data link layer) - ISO
  11898 and 11519-1
• DeviceNet is layer 7 (application layer ) and
  layer 1 (physical layer) designed for industrial
  automation

• History
• Base technology developed by Allen-Bradley
• Introduced March, 1994
• Technology transferred to ODVA in April, 1995

Key Benefits

• Reduced Wiring and Installation Cost
• Reduced Start-Up Time
• Reduced Downtime
• Rapid Troubleshooting
• Removal, insertion and replacement of devices on
  the network under power
• Interchangeability of devices from multiple
  vendors
• Configuration of devices over the network (set-up
  or runtime)

Device Interchangeability

• Standardized Data Sets (profiles) for various
  device types
• Allows user to substitute logically equivalent
  devices among vendors
• only provides for same device types, data
  structures and meaning
• NOT complete functional interchangeability
• User still has to determine application
  equivalency
• accuracy, life, mechanical strength and mounting,
  environmental ratings, response time, capacity,
  etc.
• this is the same as when replacing a device
  connected to an I/O point
• substitution with another vendors product not
  likely if user has utilized any vendor specific
  parameters
• System can key devices to prevent illegal
  substitutions
• For example, system can be configured to not
  accept a reflective photoeye for a diffuse
  photoeye
