2-Wire Subnetwork Data Bus Topology and End-of-Line (EOL)
Terminations
The EOL termination settings for the 2-wire subnetwork data bus will vary depending on
whether any Allure Series sensors are connected to the controller's Subnet Port or not. By
default, the EOL termination on the ECx-4XX devices and Allure Series sensors are factory-
set to OFF.
When ECx-4XX I/O Extension Modules are connected to an ECB-600 / ECL-600 controller's
Subnet+ and Subnet connectors, only the EOL terminations of the ECB-600 / ECL-600 and
the last ECx-4XX are set to ON. All other ECx-4XX I/O Extension Modules must have their
EOL terminations set to OFF. This is shown below.

For the 2-wire subnetwork data bus, only a daisy-chain topology is acceptable and
T-connections and routers are not allowed.
