Topologies

Figure 1.4 - Fieldbus Network

Almost any topology is possible. It is mainly a matter of where the terminator is connected.
• Bus
• Tree (Chicken-foot)
• Daisy-chain
• Point-to-point
As far as fieldbus is concerned that are all alike, what matters is the placement of the
terminator.
Of course combinations of two or more topologies is possible.
Ring topology is not possible. Because connecting the bus in a
ring damage the Termination scheme
