Not sure if I am correct... but I think of a node as a device on a network such as a PLC.... a station or workstation is a PC that you can communicate with the node

also found this, not much info in it.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(networking)

In regards to what? Is this for a class?

I may as well ask "What is the difference between POINT and DOT".

No Sir Not For Class Thanks

Like GiT.. I'm not sure I'm correct but I always thought of a station as a master on the bus and the nodes as the slaves...?

As usual, there is not enough question to answer, and most likely, any answer would not matter the tiniest bit towards a constructive definition.

A "Node", or "Station", or "Drop", or "Access Point", or "Tap", or "Any One Of A Couple Dozen Other Words If Not Hundreds" is just a point at which a device makes contact to a network.

Specific definitions of any of the above terms, are pretty much only terms used by manufacturers of equipment to describe their topology by trying to differentiate between the analogous terms.
