Table 2-5 Communication via direct connection
If a communication converter is used, the device and the communication converter are
linked with a FO5 module via optical fibres. The converter itself is equipped with dif-
ferent interfaces for the connection to the communication network. For ordering infor-
mation see Appendix, Subsection Accessories.
Figure 2-44 Examples for communication connections
Note
The redundancy of different communication connections (for ring topology) requires a
consequent separation of the devices connected to the communication network. For
example, different communication routes should not be conducted via the same mul-
tiplexer card, as there is no alternative which could be used if the multiplexer card
should fail.
