Star Topology
In this example, the devices are connected by using star topology. Each device is
connected directly to the switch.
Kinetix 5500 drives have dual ports, so linear topology is maintained from
drive-to-drive, but Kinetix 5500 drives and other devices operate
independently. The loss of one device does not impact the operation of other
devices.

You can use the 842E-CM integrated motion encoder for applications
requiring an external encoder for gearing or camming to the Kineitx 5700
drive. By providing auxiliary feedback directly through the EtherNet/IP
network, the 842E-CM encoder helps eliminate the need for point-to-point
wiring while letting customers use the encoder in a variety of network
topologies. For more information, see the 842E-CM Integrated Motion on
EtherNet/IP Product Profile, publication 842ECM-PP001
