Transport System Design
Multiple Paths
The following figures show simplified connection diagrams of the different methods for con-
necting a multiple-path transport system using Ethernet. The specific connection method that
is used depends on the application for the motors.
Loop Transport System with Switches (Recommended):
One Enet Connection per Section (Main Loop & Spur), Split Chain
Five Paths
