• Ethernet communication topology is independent of transport system configuration
(Ethernet chaining does not have to follow the physical path layout).
• The use of Allen-Bradley
®
Stratix
®
Managed Ethernet Switches is recommended to
deliver the required network performance.
• Ethernet chains can consist of multiple paths (as defined in the transport system layout
drawing).
• Chains do not need to start at the beginning of a path.
• If all motors in a path are not part of the same Ethernet chain, all chains the path is a
member of must connect to the same network as the node controller.
