I have a system based on DeviceNet; how can the SmartMotor be used with such a system?

Background: DeviceNet is a controller area network (CAN) protocol, high speed communications link for industrial devices developed in the early 1980's by Allen Bradley. Many designers choose DeviceNet for its interchangeability (many vendors and products available), advanced diagnostics, and its compatibility with distributed power networks.
Animatics Corp. provides DeviceNet Gateway options for the 23 and 34 frame series SmartMotor servos.
