Yes, DeviceNet uses CAN as the physical layer. DeviceNet is the communication protocol that runs on CAN and is starting to become popularly used in semiconductor and other high-vacuum process tools. The advantages is that much of the control and instrumentation such as power supplies, MFCs, and vacu...

DeviceNet is a deterministic protocol that can be implemented through an ethernet cable. Much of the vacuum system instrumentation (MFSs, temperature controllers, ion source power supplies) come with devicenet interfaces. You can also get DeviceNet interface modules for most of the major PLC brands ...
