5.2.3 Ethernet
Ethernet connections can be established in a star or daisy chain topology (Fig. 5.11, 5.12).
It is recommended to seal the unused connector with a rubber plug (included).
Star topology:
−
The maximum length of the network lines between modules is 100 m.
−
Both Ethernet connectors can be used.
Fig. 5.11 Star topology
Chain topology:
−
maximum section length is 100 m
−
realized with two Ethernet connectors
−
If the module fails (device error or power supply loss), the data is transferred directly from connector
1 to connector 2 (auto-bypass).
