Hello pmc; You are right, in the Siemens diagram both networks re arranged in a line (bus) topology. Profibus is designed to work primarily on a line topology, with daisy-chain connections. Limited star topology is also available, using specialized equipment (multiple-port repeaters, mainly) but Profibus specifications will limit the length of the spurlines. https://felser.ch/profibus-manual/index.html Profinet is much more flexible because it uses switches to connect the communication equipment every 100m. You can use line, star, tree and ring (redundant ring also) in Profinet networks. https://www.slideshare.net/ProfibusUK/8-profinet-network-commissioning-and-testing-peter-thomas Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
