Hx58x EtherCAT®
5.1.3 Topology
Several topologies of connection are supported by EtherCAT networks: line, tree,
daisy-chain, star, …). Furthermore EtherCAT networks can be configured in
almost any topology in the same structure. The maximum length of the cable
between two slaves is 100 m; standard EtherCAT cables commercially available
can be used.
The choice of the topology depends on the structural characteristics of the plant
and it is made in order to reduce the complexity and time for cabling.
Inside an EtherCAT network up to 65535 devices can be connected.
Some topology examples are shown in the Figures below:
