GETTING TO KNOW THE BÜS TOPOLOGIES

5.1

What is a bus topology and why do you need it?

The arrangement of different devices on the bus defines the topology. Different topologies influence the

quality of communication and certain topologies are, therefore, recommended to achieve a good network

design.

5.2

Common terms of bus topology

5.2.1

Trunk line

A trunk line is the main part of a CANopen cabling solution. All devices and junction boxes are connected to

it.

5.2.2

Stub line

A stub line is a branch of the trunk line and allows connection to a device that is not located close to the

trunk line. The use of stub lines must be avoided as much as possible. However, there are several limita-

tions depending on the baud rate of the network.

Tab. 5: Cable lengths

This table shows an overview of theoretical values for an ideal network. Nevertheless, there are more de-

pendencies regarding the trunk line length, the stub line length, the amount of process data and the baud

rate.
