About direct connection
Connect devices directly to the trunk line only if you can later remove the devices
without disturbing communications on the cable system.This is called a
“zero-length” drop, because it adds nothing (zero) when calculating cumulative
drop line length.
About connectors
Connectors attach cables to devices or other components of the DeviceNet
cable system. Field-installable connections are made with either sealed or open
connectors.
IMPORTANT
If a device provides only fixed-terminal blocks for its
connection, you must connect it to the cable system by a
drop line. Doing this allows you to remove the device at the
tap without disturbing communications on the trunk line of
the cable system.
