Communication modes
Communication: Polling
Scanner

Slave #1

Slave #2

Slave #3

The master communicates with the slaves one after the other.

Communication modes
Communication: Strobe
Scanner

Slave #1

Slave #2

Slave #3

The master sends a broadcast message simultaneously to all slaves.

All slaves with inputs send their input data back to the master.

Communication modes
Communication: Change of State
Scanner

Slave #1

Slave #2

Slave #3

All devices transmit their I/O data if the status of the I/O data
changes.

Communication modes
Communication: Cyclic Data Transfer
Scanner
every 25 ms

every 1000 ms

every 200 ms

Slave #1

Slave #2

Slave #3

All devices transmit their data in fixed time intervals.

DEVICENET (Advantages/Disadvantages)
Advantages:
The most flexible system concerning the variety of communication
(Polling, Strobe, Change of State, Cyclic Data Transfer)
Efficient diagnosis functions
High data security (HD=6)
Response monitoring (slave)
Plug & Play configuration by EDS-files
Automatic detection of faults and redundant addresses

Disadvantages:

Line structure
small spatial extension
Necessity of setting address and baud rate
Software burden (hardly learnable)
