Difference Between
Topologies and
Configurations

Specific SynchLink Configurations
This chapter describes the configurations available with each
topology. The configurations listed in this chapter were tested and
approved. If you plan to use another configuration, contact Rockwell
Automation first.

Chapter 2 describes the SynchLink Topologies as the physical
arrangement of SynchLink nodes. This chapter is more specific about
the products used in each topology (e.g. PowerFlex 700S drives in a
daisy chain topology).
This chapter explains how to use each configuration and provides a
better understanding of why the capabilities of each SynchLink
devices must be considered when planning your application.
For example, a PowerFlex 700S drive can pass buffered or direct data
but not axis data to another SynchLink node. If you need to transfer
axis data, you cannot use any configuration with PowerFlex 700S
drives.
Before you read about specific configurations, however, you should
understand how the various devices use SynchLink; not all of the
products that use Synchlink use it the same way. Refer to SynchLink
Functionality in Each Device on page 4-2 for a better understanding of
how the various devices use SynchLink.
