Explanation:
Master - PowerFlex 700S drives
Slaves - PowerFlex 700S drives
The SynchLink node clock and each drive's VPLs are synchronized
across all nodes.
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.
Axis data is not supported in the configuration.
