DLR network questions - Stratix

[mitchpearce91]

Hi all,

As some of our old Device net gear is failing I am planning to migrate some parts to ethernet/ip.

We have 10 small cabinets with a PLC, safety controller, couple of drives, HMI, etc all over devicenet.

My question is:
If I put a Stratix 5700 in each cabinet can I use it as the DLR ring supervisor but ALSO have some devices (non-dlr) in a star topology on the other ports? and still be able to then connect the Stratix to our factory network?

Diagram attached

Cheers

Yes, you can do it this way. Makes sure you choose correct Stratix catalog number that supports DLR.
