Star Topology Configuration #2
In this configuration, a ControlLogix SynchLink module (1756-SYNCH)
is the master node, and PowerFlex 700S drives are the end nodes.

Category: Explanation:
Time synchronization Master -
Slaves
The SynchLink time value is synchronized across all nodes. Also,
all drive VPLs are synchronized.
Data transfer Direct and buffered data can both be used in this configuration.
However, direct data does not off any benefit to the user because
there is no data pass through in a star configuration as in a daisy
chain or ring configuration.
Restrictions Axis data is not supported in the configuration.
