5 Installation Procedure
Communication Cable Topology
n
The option modular connector CN1 port 1 and port 2 act as a switch to allow for flexibility
in cabling topology. Users may employ a traditional star network topology using a single
communication cable port on the option.
Users may also choose to employ a ring topology using both communication modular
connector ports on the option and reduce the requirements of PROFINET switch ports.
