DeviceNet connector
DeviceNet is a field bus for industrial devices. This standard supports a variety of prod-
ucts, including sensors, digital I/O, analog I/O, RS-232, and PLCs. Other DeviceNet prod-
uct types, such as keypads and displays, can be controlled using the eV+ FCMD
program instruction (see the eV+
Language Reference Guide
for details). See Adept Device-
