PROFINET – star topology
The AMS 348
i
can be operated as a single device (standalone) with an individual device
name in a star topology. The PLC must communicate this device name to the participant
during the "device naming".

PROFINET – linear topology
The innovative further development of the AMS 348
i
with integrated switch functionality
offers the option of connecting multiple laser measurement systems of type AMS 348
i
to
one another without direct connection to a switch. In addition to the classic "star topology",
a "linear topology" is thus also possible.

The maximum length of a segment (from the host to the furthest participant) is limited to
100 m.
