Dear Sir, Please see attached. Could you please describe what will be communication result in attached topology 1 and 2.?? actually currently we have two station but in future we will add 8 more station budget wise step by step. if we use topology 1 then in future we have to back pull FOC cable every time on addition of station for completting of the ring network. in topolgy 2 we can save some cost of FOC cable becuse in future every station will have different distance. can we use topology 2 for current two station which have distance between 75meter see attached please.?? Thanks, AttachmentVisio-ring network.pdf (107 Downloads) |

Hello sarfaz; You "Broken Ring" topology is simply a linear bus, and yes you can set it up and extend it as you need, with a max. 100 m of cat 6 cable (copper) or longer runs on optic fibers between the switches. When you want to close the linear bus into a ring, you will have to configure one of the switches as a Redundancy manager, and all the others as Redundancy clients. You can find examples and instructionsfor these topologies in the following manuals: SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet switches SCALANCE X-200 Configuration Manual SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet Switches SCALANCE X-200 Operating Instructions |
