SynchLink 4-port Splitter 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 4-port Splitter Block The 4-port splitter block converts electrical signals coming from the base block to optical signals and retransmits them simultaneously through four output ports. The splitter block is DIN rail-mounted and is housed in a two-piece plastic enclosure. Figure 1 identifies the components of the splitter block.
