Intelligent DeviceNet Remote
I/O Devices
Why DeviceNet?
DeviceNet is one kind of the network
protocols based on the CAN bus and mainly
used in industrial automation, such as
injection molding machinery, textile machinery,
printing or packaging machines, etc. It is a low
level network that provides connections
between simple industrial sensors/actuators
and higher level devices. There are some
DeviceNet features shown below.
• Multi-vendor interoperability
• Fast, easy installation - resulting in space and time savings
• Future-ready, for easy additions as your needs expand and change
• Improved uptime through intelligent insight into device operations
• Efficient bandwidth utilization through producer/consumer communications
• On-the-fly configuration/re-configuration and additions without powering down
DeviceNet Remote I/O Modules
I-8KDNS1, I-8KDNS2 and I-8x20 are the small/middle size DeviceNet slave
devices. These devices offer a flexible I/O selection and useful utility tool to
build a variety DeviceNet application. They not only support most of ICPDAS
I/O modules but also provide up to 4 expansion slots to expand the I/O
channels. By using the other ICPDAS DeviceNet devices integrations, users
can easily build their DeviceNet network for their different application.
