DeviceNet network configuration is specified by configuration management software.
This is normally provided by a master device manufacturer. The configuration
management software determines parameters for each slave device via an Electronic Data
Sheet (EDS).

messaging.
Available baud rates are 125 kbps, 250 kbps, and 500 kbps.
