CAUTION
The switch must support and be enabled for Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), otherwise a broadcast storm will occur.
Network restrictions
The network to PICUS, SCADA, AMS and/or Modbus must be connected to the controllers as branches of the DEIF network chain
or ring. Do not place these network connections inside the DEIF network chain or ring.
Ethernet port connections
The Ethernet ports on the controllers are not assigned to a particular service. The controllers detect the equipment connected to the
port. You can therefore use any port for any service.
However, the recommended default connection of the controllers is as follows:
Table 8.2
