Network Topologies
2.8.1
Overview
Communication interface X1/X2 is used for fieldbus connection.
The communication interface in the iC7 drives and power converters has 2 Ethernet ports (X1 and X2) and an embedded switch with 2
Ethernet RJ45 connectors. It has 1 MAC and IP address, and is considered a single device in the network. The communication interface
supports 3 network topologies:
l
Line topology
l
Star topology
l
Ring topology
2.8.2
Line Topology
In many applications, line topology enables simpler cabling and the use of fewer Ethernet switches. Observe network performance and
the number of devices in a line topology. Too many devices in a line may exceed network update time limits.
NOTICE
When line topology is used, take precautions to avoid timeout in the PLC when more than 8 drives or power converters are
installed in series. Each drive or power converter in the network adds a small delay to the communication due to the built-in
Ethernet switch. When the update time is too short, the delay can lead to a timeout in the PLC.
l
Set the update time as shown in the table. The numbers given are typical values and can vary from installation to installation.
