Connecting a SynchLink
Module to a SynchLink
System ControlLogix SynchLink modules mount in a ControlLogix chassis and
connects to other SynchLink node through a fiber optic cable system.
For more information on the available fiber optic cables, see Table 1.2.
When you install the SynchLink module in a Star Configuration, you need to
use hubs as well as fiber optic cables. A hub is a combination of one base block
with up to four splitter blocks. A bypass switch block is also available for use in
the daisy chain configuration. For more information on the Star
Configuration, see 2-6.
For more information the hub components available for use with the
SynchLink module, see Table 1.3
For more information on SynchLink fiber optic cable systems, see The
SynchLink Design Guide, publication 1756-TD008.
