Epson RC90 User Manual

1. Introduction
RC700 / RC90 Option Fieldbus I/O Rev.14 15
Open Standard (Multi-vendor)
Due to an open communication standard, various devices from many manufacturers are
available. Standardized communication connectors provide you with easy network
construction.
Maintenance spare parts stored on site (factory, etc.) can be reduced because different
manufacturers’ devices can be used in case of a breakdown. Similar products are available
around the world due to a global standard EtherNet/IP.
Network Topology
Network topologies such as line, tree, star, and ring are supported and can be used in
combinations.
Line topology, which is most commonly used for fieldbus, especially has no factor which
reduces network performance since it does not require a network switch or hub. Therefore,
the fastest and most reliable network construction is possible.
