Loop Paths
The following figures show simplified connection diagrams of the different methods for con-
necting a loop of motors using Ethernet. The specific connection method that is used depends
on the application for the motors.
Loop Transport System (Recommended):
One Enet Connection, One Chain
One Path
Host
Enet
Controller
