Configuring the Star Configuration
This appendix describes how to configure the ControlLogix SynchLink
module in a Star configuration using remote axis control. In this example
configuration, the following occurs:
• The controller in the Time Master chassis produces axis data.
• The axis data is transmitted via SynchLink modules to each Time Slave
chassis.
• The controller in each Time Slave chassis consumes the axis data.
The system’s physical configuration is shown in Figure B.1. In this
configuration, you must:
• configure the Master Node in an RSLogix 5000 project.
• configure each End Node in separate RSLogix 5000 projects.

The SynchLink module in
this chassis is configured
as the Time Master for
the SynchLink.
The SynchLink modules in these chassis are configured as
the CST Time Masters and SynchLink Time Slaves.
