DeviceNet is a kind of network with protocols based on the CAN bus. It's mainly used for embedded networks for machine control; such as: textile machinery, printing machines, injection molding machinery, and packaging machines. DeviceNet is a low level network that provides connections between simple industrial devices (sensors, actuators) and higher level devices (controllers). It allows direct peer to peer data exchange between nodes in an organized and, if necessary, deterministic manner. DeviceNet defines a connection-based scheme to facilitate all application communications. A DeviceNet connection provides a communication path between multiple endpoints. The endpoints of a connection are applications that need to share data.
