Network Layout
Master Location Within its Own Network
Acceptable
Whether it’s on the INT or NET comm networks, all Prolon
controllers communicate over an RS-485 network topology,
that requires a DAISY CHAIN wiring conguration. Each
daisy chain segment is an open loop design, with two
distinct extremities to the chain (a beginning and an end).
Also, there are never more than two wire pairs meeting at
anycontrollerjunction.
On any network segment hosting a Master controller, the physical positioning of that Master relative to other follower controllers
within the daisy chain is irrelevant, provided the daisy chain layout is respected. As such, it is not necessary to position any
Master at the “beginning” of any network, should that prove inconvenient.
