Siemens DriveCliq works the same way. Everything is point to point. No external hubs or switches. I think the controller I was using recently had 6 or 8 Ethernet jacks. The drive module had 3, one for the connection to the controller and two for encoder connections. I think the line module (Ac to DC smart power supply) had 3 Ethernet jacks. Hooking everything up was very quick.
