Overview
DeviceNet is one of the many industrial protocols based on the CAN (Controller Area Network) technology. It is an open protocol originally developed by Allen-Bradley (now known as Rockwell Automation) in early 90's. DeviceNet is an application layer protocol based on the CAN protocol, which was originally developed by Bosch for the automotive industries. DeviceNet is now maintained by the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA), which is now working hard to bring DeviceNet, ControlNet, and EtherNet/IP back under the same roof, i.e. called the CIP (Common Industrial Protocol, which was originally knwon as Controls and Information Protocol).
Technical Snapshot DeviceNet protocol was derived from the Allen-Bradley's ControlNet protocol. It is designed specifically to cater for the CAN based network. DeviceNet adopts the object-oriented algorithm by defining profile for each device, which is known as "device profile". Each device profile contains a minimum of four required objects, namely Identity, Message Router, DeviceNet, and Connection object. Besides, behaviour-related objects, such as digital input point object, were defined to achieve the compatibility, interchangeability, and interoperability of the protocol. Although it supports peer-to-peer connection, most DeviceNet devices work in the master-slave manner, where the master scanner is usually a PLC or SoftPLC, due to simplicity in design and practical reason. DeviceNet supports up to 64 nodes per logical network. DeviceNet supports three baud rates, i.e. 125, 250, and 500 Kbps, which limits the network length to 500, 250, and 100 metres respectively. A not-so newly defined flat cable limits the length to only 75 metres at 500 Kbps.
