Positioning of passive Terminals

Positioning of passive Terminals 1:

Hint for positioning of passive terminals in the bus terminal block

EtherCAT Terminals, which do not take an active part in data transfer within the bus terminal block are so called passive terminals. The passive terminals have no current consumption out of the E-Bus.
To ensure an optimal data transfer, you must not directly string together more than two passive terminals!
