Chapter 2 Module Overview and Features

EtherNet/IP
Network Overview

The modules incorporate embedded switch technology. They support Star, Tree,
Daisychain or Linear, and Ring network topologies.

• Star or Tree topologies can connect to either Port 1 or Port 2.
• Daisy Chain/Linear topologies will pass communications from Port 1 to 2,

or Port 2 to 1.

• Ring topology will pass communications from Port 1 to 2, or Port 2 to 1.

The 1732E-IB8M8SOER and 1732E-OB8M8SR modules support the
management of network traffic to ensure timely delivery of critical data, Quality
of Service (QoS) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) protocols
are supported.

Functional Earth grounds the I/O block’s EtherNet/IP communication circuitry which is designed to

mitigate the effect of noise on the network. It requires a solid earth ground connection, either through a
metal screw to a grounded metal panel or through a wire.
