To set up an Ethernet network with other participants with linear topology, the device makes available
another Ethernet interface. The use of this interface drastically reduces the cabling requirements, as only
the first BCL 608i requires a direct connection to the switch, via which it can communicate with the host.
All other BCL 608i are connected in series to the first BCL 608i (see figure 7.13).

Ethernet topologies
Various product variants of the BCL 600i series are available for connecting to different fieldbus systems
such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET-IO and Ethernet.
NOTICE
Ensure adequate shielding. The entire interconnection cable must be shielded and earthed. The RD+/
RD- and TD+/TD- wires must be stranded in pairs. Use CAT 5 cable for the connection.

NOTICE
Ensure adequate shielding. The entire interconnection cable must be shielded and earthed. The signal
lines must be stranded in pairs. Use CAT 5 cable for the connection.
For the device as standalone device or as the last participant in a linear topology, termination on
the BUS OUT socket is not mandatory!
