easyNet-topologies

easyNet allows you to configure line topologies in which all
stations are connected to a main cable. Two types of cable
routing are possible:
• Loop-through cable routing.
• Wiring arrangement using a T connector and a spur line.
Passing through
Advantage: With this wiring arrangement, the cable is
looped through the device. The easyNet stations can be
addressed and easyNet configured very simply via station 1
(a section "Parameterising and configuring NET stations"
on page 533) or via easySoft-Safety.
Disadvantage: If the line is interrupted, the easyNET network
is no longer operational from this point in the network.
T connector and spur line.
Advantage: If an easyNet station fails, the spur line can be
removed from the station for the exchange, whilst all other
devices on the easyNet remain functional.
Disadvantage: Each device must be addressed individually
with this wiring method:
• By downloading the program of the easySafety
configuration including the NET-ID via easySoft-Safety
(see Help). For this the programming cable must be
plugged in locally on each individual device.
• Via the operator buttons and display of the individual
device (a section "Parameterising and configuring NET
stations" on page 533).
h The spur line between the T connector and the device must
not exceed 0.3 m. Otherwise communication via easyNET
may be impaired.
