DeviceNet, which is an open field network, is a multiple-bit type multi-vendor network that combines
controls and data on a machine/line control level.
By connecting to DeviceNet, XSEL, TT, TTA, MSEL, ASEL, PSEL, SSEL, ACON, DCON, PCON, SCON,
RCS-C and E-Con controllers (hereinafter referred to collectively as “controllers” or individually as a
