KRC4 EtherCAT Bus with two or more devices

Greetings

I am currently designing a fieldbus architecture and would like to know if I have no inconvenience in using two or more remote I/O modules under the EtherCAT bus using a small industrial switch for it. I have worked in the past with only one Weidmüeller module. Currently I have one Weidmüeller remote I/O module and another one from a welding system manufacturer that also has its configuration file. I intend to use the EtherCAT bus of the KRC4 and connect it to a switch where the two mentioned devices are located. Is there any restriction for this?

Thanks in advance

you cannot use ethernet switch.

Dear Panic Mode

In your experience, which option do you think is the most recommendable and economical to be able to use these two modules with the KRC4?

don't use ethernet switch. that will save few $$.

connect nodes according to manufacturer recommendations.

in case of EtherCat, this means daisy chaining nodes. the physical connections must match topology in WoV

Thanks Panic Mode
