Publication 1751-IN001A-EN-P - March 2001
SynchLink Overview
We designed the SynchLink system to provide the synchronization and coordination
of drive and motion control applications that are based on ControlLogix
™ and
PowerFlex 700s
™ stations.
About the SynchLink Base Block
The base block converts optical signals coming from a SynchLink station to
electrical signals, and then re-times and retransmits them simultaneously to a
maximum of four 4-port splitter blocks. It also supplies power to splitter blocks.
The base block requires a 24V dc power supply. The power supply connection is
made via field wiring to a screw connector plug. The base block is DIN
rail-mounted and is housed in a two-piece plastic enclosure. Figure 1 identifies the
components of the base block.
