Link
Description:
LINK is an ultra high speed distributed drive control system. It enables all machine control elements including variable speed drives, operator controls and plant I/O to be networked together to provide integrated machine control of unrivalled flexibility. It Features:
-
Total configurability for the most advanced multi-drive systems
-
Noise immune fiber optic based highway
-
Real time peer-to-peer communications
-
Fieldbus compatibility
-
Modem remote access capability
-
AC and DC networked drives
Communication speeds of 2.7 Mbaud allows LINK to operate a real time, event driven, deterministic network. Each control element of the machine or process is interconnected on a single, noise immune, fiber optic cable, which replaces the myriad of control wires traditionally associated with multi-drive systems. Typically savings of 50% in site cabling time and cost are possible with LINK compared to a standard wired system.
Each LINK system may comprise any combination of SSD Drives sensorless and closed loop AC drives (690+, 605 and 620 series) or DC drives (590+ series). Digital and analog plant equipment can be interfaced onto the network via local or distributed I/O modules and a variety of gateway devices allow seamless integration with PC based control and monitoring packages.
The major component parts of a LINK control system are listed below. There are however many other interface and peripheral components available that make LINK the world’s most flexible control system, so please contact your nearest SSD Drives sales outlet to discuss your application in detail.

Drive System Designer (DSD) is a powerful software tool used to configure SSD LINK drive systems. DSD employs a graphical user interface and drawing tools that allow you to create and diagram your configurations in an easy-to-understand format that represents the functionality of your configuration.
Use basic function blocks to create an unlimited control scheme or use powerful built-in blocks to simplify your system design. When troubleshooting the system, the on-line SAM tool speeds diagnostics with access to the entire system on the same graphical configuration template.
