Typical Communication
Configurations
The Kinetix 5500 drives support any Ethernet topology including linear, ring,
and star.
These examples feature the CompactLogix 5370 programmable automation
controllers (catalog number 1769-L36ERM) with support for Integrated Motion
over the EtherNet/IP network. Controller features include the following:
• Supports up to 16 axes
• Supports up to 48 devices in linear configurations
• Dual-port connectivity to support device-level ring (DLR) topology
Refer to CompactLogix Controllers Specifications Technical Data, publication
1769-TD005
, for more information on CompactLogix 5370 L1, L2, and L3
controllers.
Linear Topology
In this example, all devices are connected in linear topology. The Kinetix 5500
drives include dual-port connectivity, however, if any device becomes
disconnected, all devices downstream of that device lose communication. Devices
without dual ports must include the 1783-ETAP module or be connected at the
end of the line.
