1.2 DeviceNet System Architecture

A DeviceNet network is a distributed I/O system that may contain many different products from several

different vendors. Products may be configured uniformly, as clusters or as distributed clusters. Up to 64

devices, including the master, may be attached to a single DeviceNet network. Any of these, except the

master, may be a JDM. A typical system will include a master, such as a PLC or industrial PC, and

multiple slave devices, including a JDM with connected Modbus devices.
