Structure of modules on CC-Link IE TSN and Ethernet devices
Connection with modules on CC-Link IE TSN and Ethernet devices
Line topology
The network with modules and devices is configured in a line topology. An industrial switch (for CC-Link IE TSN Class B) is
not required.
Connect Ethernet devices to the end of the network.
When an error occurs in a device station, the stations connected after the faulty station will be disconnected.
Star topology
The network is configured in a star topology via an industrial switch.
Device stations cannot be connected with an industrial switch (for CC-Link IE TSN Class A). Line and star topologies should
be mixed in the same network configuration.
Coexistence of line and star topologies
Line and star topologies can be mixed in the same network configuration.
• Connect Ethernet devices to the end of the network.
