What network topology does the TC Compact series utilize?

The TC Compact series utilizes a Peer-to-peer Automation Level Network. This topology allows devices within the network to communicate directly with one another, facilitating efficient data exchange and collaboration among connected systems. By removing the dependency on a centralized controller, a peer-to-peer design enhances fault tolerance and scalability. Each device or node operates independently and can initiate communication, which provides flexibility and responsiveness in real-time data processing and control applications. This is particularly beneficial in industrial automation contexts where seamless interaction between devices is essential for optimal performance. The choice of this topology indicates a focus on improving the overall robustness and efficiency of the network, addressing common challenges found in more traditional topologies.
