5.2.2 Network topology
It is typical of EtherNet/IP to have a rather free topology the limiting factor of which is large
message latencies due to e.g. switches connected in series.
Internal switch latency
( 18)
The combination of a line and a stub is useful for system wiring.
EtherNet/IP supports the following topologies:
•Line
[5-4] Line topology (S = scanner, A = adapter)
•Switch / star
[5-5] Switch / star topology (SW = switch, A = adapter)
•Tree via switches
[5-6] Tree topology (S = scanner, SW = switch)
