The following provides only specific notes on topology.
Topologies
You can use the following bus topologies:
● Star topology
● Line topology (for web server)
Star topology
Touch panels can only be connected in a star topology.
Line topology
The number of devices is limited to 20 for a line topology (daisy chain).
Availability/reliability
The Ethernet switch does not work on a device without 24 V power. The following devices, connected in a line
topology, are no longer on the network. As a result, each web server should be separately powered with 24 V
for secure system operation.
