easy-NET network
topologies, addressing
and functions
The easy-NET allows the configuration of a line topology.
There are two wiring methods which can be used for the
required addressing options:
• “Loop through the unit” wiring arrangement,
• Wiring arrangement using a T connector and a spur line.
Loop through the unit wiring method
With this wiring method it is possible to implement the
addressing of the stations via station 1 or the
EASY-SOFT(-PRO). If the line is interrupted, the network is no
longer operational from this point in the network.
T connector and spur line
Each device must be addressed individually with this wiring
method by:
• Downloading the program,
• Downloading the address with EASY-SOFT (-PRO),
• Using the display or
• The device is already assigned with an address.
If a spur line is removed on a station, all other devices in the
network remain functional.
h
The spur line between the T connector and the device must
not exceed 0.3 m. Otherwise communication via easy-NET
may be impaired.
