A Tree topology viewed from above
Keep the branch route visible during planning.

The topology view shows the controller, branch devices, and their logical connections. Use the detailed view to inspect labels and connection names; the text explanation remains available without the viewer.

  • Start at the Miniserver and follow each branch.
  • Confirm labels before you close the cabinet.
Inspect the topology at source resolution before commissioning.
Takeaway

Document the branch before the walls are closed.
