7.6.2 Linear topology
The integrated switch functionality of the BPS offers the possibility to network multiple BPS devices. In ad-
dition to the classic "star topology", a "linear topology" is thus also possible. The wiring of the network in a
linear topology is simple and economical since the network connection is looped through from one partici-
pant to the next. The maximum length of a segment (connection from one participant to the next) is limited
to 100m.

Up to 254 BPS can be networked. They must all be located in the same subnet.
To do this, the individual device name is assigned to each participating BPS through device naming, using
the control's configuration tool (see chapter 8.3 "Configuring for the Siemens SIMATIC-S7 control").
