DeviceNET vs. SDS (DCS systems)

DeviceNET vs. SDS (DCS systems)

DeviceNET vs. SDS (DCS systems)

(OP)
Here's my problem: I have an ABB DeviceNET controller, but I have Honeywell SDS cables, connectors, hubs, sensors and actuators.

I do know that Both DeviceNET and SDS use the CAN protocol.

My Questions: Can I somehow use the DeviceNET controller with the SDS cabling, sensors and actuators?. Will I need to purchase additional modules?

Are the signal levels the same for the sensors etc.. for the Honeywell system as they would be for ABB sensors, just a matter of getting the proper connectors?

I have the list of SDS devices if you need to know which ones.

Thank you for any help
