IMPORTANT
SynchLink should be used in conjunction with a
standard control network, such as ControlNet or
Ethernet. A standard network is used for general
control interlocking and transfer of diagnostic data
across the system.
SynchLink does not function as a standard control
network (e.g. it broadcasts data in a unidirectional
manner).
