EtherNet/IP Network Topology

An EtherNet/IP network is flexible and supports multiple topologies. The network topology within an IntelliCENTER
EtherNet/IP MCC must provide a robust, and flexible network solution.
Linear/Star Topology
The standard IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP MCC design uses a star topology for the IMC device connections and a
linear topology for the Stratix 5700 switch-to-switch connections. An example of the IntelliCENTER EtherNet/IP
MCC linear/star topology is shown in
