We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "DeviceNet",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Communication interface tested on ODVA conformance from
Yokogawa Europe - Industrial Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "The recently developed Yokogawa EtherNet/IP compatible communication interface for industrial recorders and data-acquisition equipment has passed the ODVA
conformance test - a first in this field".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release DeviceNet available on the G3 operator interfaces from
Red Lion Controls USA: "Red Lion Controls announces that DeviceNet network support is now also available for the G3 series of operator interfaces".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Asco Joucomatic Numatics
concerning its 2005 Series
- take a look at New Numatics dual 3-ported, 2-position valve.
which says: "The Numatics 2005 Series dual 3-ported, 2-position valve introduced by Asco Numatics provides 'two valves in one' for a compact and cost effective solution".
Take a look also at the news release from Turck, Field installable connectors for DeviceNet,
as well as First-ever safety I/O node with Ethernet/IP from Rockwell Automation,
and Digital automation on majority of coal-fired units from Emerson Process Management - Power + Water.
