SynchLink Base Block 3 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.
SynchLink Base Block Prevent Electrostatic Discharge ATTENTION ! Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or semiconductors if you touch backplane connector pins. Follow these guidelines when you handle the base block: • • • • • • Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential. Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device. Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins. Do not touch circuit components inside the base block. If available, use a static-safe work station.
SynchLink Base Block 5 2. Hook the lip of on the rear of the base block onto the top of the DIN rail and rotate the base block onto the rail. 31203b-M 3. Press the base block down to the DIN rail until flush. 31203c-M The locking tab should snap into position and lock the base block to the DIN rail. If the tab does not snap into position, follow step 4. If the tab does snap into position, proceed to step 5.
SynchLink Base Block 4. Use a screwdriver to move the locking tab down while you press the base block flush onto the DIN rail. Release the locking tab to lock the base block into place. If necessary, push up on the locking tab to lock the base block into place. 5. Once you attach the base block to the DIN rail, slide the base block to the left. ATTENTION ! Be certain that you secure the base block and 4-port Splitter blocks together with DIN rail anchors.
SynchLink Base Block 7 2. Pre-wire the removable connector plug as shown on the base block label. The wire length between the 24V dc power supply and the base block must be less than 3m. Connect To pin +24V dc 4 24V dc Common 3 Pins 1 and 2 are not connected. Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Power Supply and digital Input Connector (front view) 31248-M IMPORTANT Do not connect 24V dc Common to Chassis Ground. 3.
