DeviceNet™
Complete system monitoring on DeviceNet™ fieldbus networks. The
MicroGuard® controller family is fully compatible with the
DeviceNet™ fieldbus and can be connected directly into the
fieldbus for non-safety monitoring of system status. DeviceNet™
is the leading low-cost communications link that connects a
wide range of automated manufacturing devices for greater
usability and convenience. Multiple MicroGuard® controllers can
be networked with numerous other devices on a single DeviceNet™
network. Add suffix DN to controller part number for this
optional feature.
