Chapter 6 Communicate over Networks
CompactLogix 5370 controllers connect directly to a DLR network topology,
that is, without requiring a 1783-ETAP tap to connect to the network. The
controllers can function in any of the roles on a DLR network topology, that is,
active supervisor node, back-up supervisor node or ring node.
For more information on using a DLR network topology, see the EtherNet/IP
Embedded Switch Technology Application Guide, publication ENET-AP005
.
Figure 8
shows an example 1769-L18ERM-BB1B control system using a DLR
network topology.

Figure 9 shows an example 1769-L27ERM-QBFC1B control system using a
DLR network topology.
The topology graphics that are shown in this section are examples of
applications that use only DLR network topologies.
We recommend that you exercise caution if you consider designing an
application that includes the connection of a DLR topology with a linear or star
network topology.
