The central components of the Industrial Ethernet bus are star couplers that are
connected together via optical paths to form a ring, which is referred to as the
virtual ring.
The bus itself, that is the link between the star couplers, is implemented with an
optical transfer medium. The participants are connected to the star coupler via an
electrical transfer medium or a combined electrical and optical transfer medium.
