Communication

Daisy-Chain Ethernet topology

The ET-87Pn has a built-in two-port Ethernet switch to implement daisy-chain

topology. The cabling is much easier and total costs of cable and switch are

significantly reduced.

Tips & Warnings

In a daisy chain connection, each master can connect up to 10

ET-87Pn slaves simultaneously. If the number of ET-87Pn salve is

more than 10, it is recommended to increase a switch.
