SynchLink Operation
Time Synchronization
Data Transfer
SynchLink is a fiber optic communication link that allows its users to
implement distributed motion and drive systems based on
ControlLogix and PowerFlex700S products.
SynchLink should be used in conjunction with a standard control
network, such as ControlNet or Ethernet/IP. A standard network is
used for general control interlocking and transfer of diagnostic data
across the system. SynchLink does not function as a standard control
network (e.g. it only broadcasts data).
You can use the following products on SynchLink:
· ControlLogix SynchLink module (1756-SYNCH)
· ControlLogix Drive modules (1756-DMxxx series)
· PowerFlex 700S drives (DriveLogix)
For more information on these products, see Chapter 3, Using Specific
Products on SynchLink.
