Reliable Networked Control with DeviceNet Systems
DeviceNet solutions offer real-time, cost-effective communication for industrial automation environments.
DeviceNet
DeviceNet is a robust communication protocol based on the Controller Area Network (CAN), specifically designed to link control devices like sensors and actuators to industrial controllers. Known for its cost efficiency, plug-and-play functionality, and reliability in harsh industrial environments, DeviceNet simplifies wiring and streamlines communication across factory floor equipment. MeshNetworkPro helps B2B clients across North America implement DeviceNet systems that support scalable architectures, promote network consistency, and improve maintenance through real-time diagnostics. Our approach allows seamless integration with legacy systems and supports evolving automation needs.
Core Components
