Installation Instructions
SynchLink™ Board for PowerFlex® 700S Drives with Phase II
Control
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on
the bus capacitors has discharged before performing any work on the
drive. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & –DC terminals of the
Power Terminal Block (DC+ & DC- in high power drives). The voltage must
be zero.
ATTENTION: HOT surfaces can cause severe burns. Do not touch the
heatsink surface during operation of the drive. After disconnecting power
allow time for cooling.
ATTENTION: Hazard of permanent eye damage exists when using optical
transmission equipment. This product emits intense light and invisible
radiation. Do not look into module ports or fiber-optic cable connectors.
What This Kit Contains
Tools That You Need
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive
parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required when
installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component
damage may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are
not familiar with static control procedures, reference A-B publication
8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage” or any other
applicable ESD protection handbook.
Verify that your kit contains the items listed in the following table. If your kit
does not contain the correct items, contact your Rockwell Automation sales
representative.

To install or replace a SynchLink board, complete the following steps:
❐ Step 1: Remove power from the drive.
❐ Step 2: Open/Remove the drive cover(s).
❐ Step 3: Remove the control cassette from the drive.
❐ Step 4: Remove the inside cover from the control cassette.
❐ Step 5: Remove the existing SynchLink board.
❐ Step 6: Install the new SynchLink board.
❐ Step 7: Install the control cassette inside cover.
❐ Step 8: Install the control cassette in the drive.

❐ Step 11: Document the change.
Step 1: Remove Power
from the Drive
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on
the bus capacitors has discharged before performing any work on the
drive. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & –DC terminals of the
Power Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.
Remove power before making or breaking cable connections. When you
remove or insert a cable connector with power applied, an electrical arc
may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage
by:
• sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices, causing
• causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module
and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance.

1. If necessary, disconnect any fiber-optic ControlNet and SynchLink cables
from the control assembly.
ATTENTION: Hazard of permanent eye damage exists when using optical
transmission equipment. This product emits intense light and invisible
radiation. Do not look into fiber-optic ports or fiber-optic cable connectors.
2. Disconnect any remaining I/O and communications cables from the
control assembly.
3. Disconnect the ribbon cables that connect to the main control board.
4. Loosen the two screws on the front of the cassette.
5. Remove the cassette from the drive chassis.
