Topologies Between the Communication Partners
Applications
The CP 440 can be used in different topologies in the RS422 and RS485 operating modes.
Distinctions are drawn between connections with:
●
Two nodes (point-to-point) and
●
Several nodes (multipoint)
In these cases the CP 440 can be used as:
●
Master or
●
Slave

In the case of a master/slave topology, there must be an appropriate message frame in the
user program. Example: The master sends all the slaves a message frame with address
information. All the slaves listen in and compare the address with their own. If the address is
the same, the addressed slave sends its answer.
The senders of all slaves must be able to switch to low impedance.
