Abstract
Fieldbus networks based on Ethernet become an inevitable part of factory automation systems. The number of installed nodes has increased over the last few years. Therefore, efficient network planning sets new challenges for today´s engineers. This paper shows major aspects of topology planning in industrial networks based on EtherCAT protocol.
