Can DeviceNet devices be used on a CANopen network?

DeviceNet is a higher-level protocol that is typically used in industrial automation applications for connecting devices such as sensors, actuators, and motor drives. It uses a master-slave architecture where the master device controls the communication with the slave devices and the data exchange is performed using a cyclic messaging scheme.

On the other hand, CANopen is a more general-purpose protocol that is widely used in various applications such as medical equipment, marine and aerospace systems, and automotive control systems. It is a peer-to-peer protocol that supports communication between different types of devices such as sensors, actuators, and controllers.

In summary, while DeviceNet and CANopen are both based on the CAN technology, they are designed for different types of applications and have different communication protocols. Therefore, DeviceNet devices cannot be used directly on a CANopen network and vice versa. If you need to integrate devices from different protocols, you may need to use a gateway or converter device that can translate the communication between the two protocols.
