n Connectionwithexistingsystems
You can use V net routers to connect systems that include V net or VL net domains to Vnet/
IP domains. You cannot connect Vnet/IP domains directly to HF Bus domains of the CENTUM
XL system or RL Bus domains of the CENTUM μXL system. However, you can set up the
connection by passing through a bus converter (BCV) from the V net domain that is connected to
the V net router.
Devices connected: V net routers and bus converters
Number of hierarchical connections through a V net router (*1):
Three (two levels of bus converters, three levels of control buses)

connections.
