6.3 Configuration versions
Not recommended configuration variants
The following configuration variants are not recommended:
Configuration variant 1
The H-CPUs are each configured in a separate PROFINET ring 1 and 2. Some or all R1 devices
are connected to these PROFINET rings via 2 switches. The R1 devices themselves are
connected via a line topology.
In this configuration variant, the availability of the media redundancy of the PROFINET rings is
limited, since the R1 devices in the lower-level line topology do not benefit from the
PROFINET ring.
