DLR Network Topology
A DLR network topology is a single-fault-tolerant ring network in which DLR-capable Rockwell Automation devices use
embedded technology and dual EtherNet/IP ports to establish a network that is resilient to single points of failure, recovers
faster when single faults occur, and does not require switches.
Configuring a DLR network topology requires you to complete a few tasks that do not apply to using a CompactLogix
5370 L1 controller in a linear or star network topology. For example, a DLR network topology requires that one
supervisor-capable network device be configured as the active ring supervisor. CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllers are
supervisor-capable devices on a DLR network.
This graphic shows a DLR network topology with a CompactLogix 5370 L1 controller.
