DEVICENET OVERVIEW
CHAPTER A: 
A.1.8 DeviceNet Specification Highlights
Description:
The DeviceNet specification defines a network communication system for transferring 
data between elements of an industrial control and automation system. The specification 
is divided into two volumes and defines the following elements:
Volume 1:
• DeviceNet communication protocol and application (Layer 7: Application layer)
• CAN and its use in DeviceNet (Layer 2: Data Link Layer)
• DeviceNet physical layer and media (Layer 1: Physical Layer)
• Volume  2:
• Device profiles for interoperability and interchangeability among like products
CAN defines the syntax or form of the data transfer. The DeviceNet application layer 
defines the semantics or meaning of the data transferred
Communication Protocol and Application:
Standard or application specific objects are combined together into Device Profiles by the 
applications using DeviceNet. The Device Profile defines the device as viewed from the 
network: DeviceNet specifications contains a library of objects and Device Profiles. ODVA 
coordinates the work of industry experts in the development of both new Object and 
Device Profile specifications.
DeviceNet supports strobed, polled, cyclic, change-of-state, and application-triggered 
data transfer. The user can choose master/ slave, multi-master and peer-to-peer, or a 
combination depending on device capability and application requirements. The choice of 
data transfer can significantly speed up system response time. One popular application for 
DeviceNet is to use a standard, predefined set of connections that allow devices to 
operate in a master/slave connection set.
Connections:
The DeviceNet communication protocol is based on the idea of connections. Connections 
must be established with a device in order to exchange information with that device.
