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.
