Environment and Enclosure
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications
(as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000
meters without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial
equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without
appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties
ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments
due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as "open type" equipment. It must
be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for
those specific environmental conditions that will be present
and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting
from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure
must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent
sections of this publication may contain additional information
regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to
comply with certain product safety certifications.
See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication
60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection provided by different types of enclosure. Also, see
the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as the
Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1 ("Industrial Automation
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines"), for additional installation
requirements pertaining to this equipment.

SynchLink Overview
W e 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 Bypass Switch Block
Use the SynchLink bypass switch block in SynchLink daisy-chain configuration
where a station, or group of stations, needs to be temporarily disconnected from
the SynchLink system without physical re-configuration of the cable system. The
bypass switch block is DIN rail-mounted and is housed in a two-piece plastic
enclosure. Figure 1 identifies the components of the bypass switch block.

The bypass switch block has two modes of operation, pass-through and bypass.
The operational mode is determined by the state of the 24V dc digital input that is
driven by the local SynchLink station.
The pass-through mode is entered when the digital input is ON. In this mode,
optical signals from the upstream station are received at the receiver port RxIN1
and retransmitted to the local station via the transmitter port TxOUT2. Optical
signals generated by the local station are received at the receiver port RxIN2 and
retransmitted to the downstream station via the transmitter port TxOUT1. There is
no re-timing or signal regeneration in this mode.
The bypass mode is entered when the digital input is OFF. In this mode, signals
received from the upstream station at the port RxIN1 are converted to electrical
signals, re-timed, and retransmitted to the downstream station via the port TxOUT1.
The bypass switch block has no capabilities to detect or correct communication
error conditions that may exist during the course of pass-through or bypass
operation. The bypass switch block has no ability to report any abnormal
conditions to the local station.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which
can cause internal damage and affect normal operation.
Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• If available, use a static-safe workstation.
• When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate
static-safe packaging.
Installing the Bypass Switch Block
To install the switch block on the DIN rail:
1. Position the switch block on the 35×7.5mm DIN rail (Allen-Bradley catalog
number 199-DRI) at a 30° angle.
31203a-M
Publication 1751-IN003B-EN-P - September 2001

2. Hook the lip of on the rear of the switch block onto the top of the DIN rail
and rotate the switch block onto the rail.
31203b-M
3. Press the bypass switch block down to the DIN rail until flush.
The locking tab should snap into position and lock the switch block to the
DIN rail. If the tab does not snap into position, follow step 4. If the tab does
snap into position, proceed to step 5.

IMPORTANT
4. Use a screwdriver to move the locking tab down while you press the switch
block flush onto the DIN rail. Release the locking tab to lock the switch
block into place. If necessary, push up on the l ocking tab to lock the sw itch
block into place.
5. Use DIN rail end anchors to secure the switch block. (Allen-Bradley catalog
number 1492-EAH35)
Be certain that you secure the bypass sw itch block with
DIN rail anchors. Failure to do so may result in loss of
communication and/or damage to switch block.
If you exceed the switch block’s power limit, you may
cause damage to the bypass switch block.
6. Connect the switch wiring as shown in Wiring the Bypass Switch Block
Block.

Wiring the Bypass Switch Block
Do not look directly into the fiber ports or fiber cable. Light
levels may cause damage to eyesight. The bypass switch block
is a Class 1 LED product.
To wire the bypass switch block and connect power:
1. Connect pre-terminated fiber optic cables as shown.
