1-2	DeviceNet Unit Features
		The following are features of the CS-series and CJ-series DeviceNet Units
		(CS1W-DRM21 and CJ1W-DRM21).
Multi-vendor Network		Devices made by other companies (masters or slaves) can be connected to
		DeviceNet because it conforms to open field network specifications. By using
		a combination of valves, sensors, and other DeviceNet products, the network
		can be adapted to various field-level applications.
Simultaneous Remote I/O		Remote I/O communications that constantly transfer I/O between a DeviceNet
Communications and		Unit and slaves as well as message communications where the DeviceNet
Messaging Services		Unit sends and receives data as needed can both be executed simulta-
		neously. When a DeviceNet network is constructed, this feature ensures the
		network will be able to handle applications that require the free flow back and
		forth of bit data and message data. FINS commands can be executed along
		with DeviceNet explicit messages in message communications.
