Network Configuration
The Echelon network is designed to support free topology wiring and will accommodate bus, star, loop or any of
these topologies. Echelon devices can be located at any point along the network wiring.
Figures 3.1 to 3.5 present five different network topologies. The actual termination circuit will vary by application.
