Getting Started 33
With larger module networks, it is a good idea to make a sketch of the planned
module network. The following figure shows an example of a module network
with three cascaded ES51x modules.
Fig. 4-3 Example of a Module Network
To connect an ES51x module with other ES51x modules
• To cascade an ES51x module, connect the
HOST port of the subordinate ES51x module
with one of the ETH1 to ETH3 ports of the
superordinate ES51x module. The superordi-
nate ES51x module is nearer the host PC in
the hierarchy.
• Connect further ES51x modules in accordance
with this principle with the ETH2 and ETH3
ports of the ES51x module.
