The history of SSD LINK LINK 1 was the first fiber optic peer-to-peer network of its kind. Its sole purpose was to control a coordinated drive system. Used primarily with the 570L DC Link drive and later, the 590L and much later, the 620L AC vector Link drive. With speeds of 2.7MB, and all modules communicating at the same time, it was blazing fast for its time. Fiber optic cable was thin, light, and was not plagued with electrical noise issues. A single loop of fiber, linking drive to drive was the only signal connection required for a coordinated system.

The history of SSD LINK There were Link 1 modules for digital and analog I/O, serial communication and processor modules that provided memory to hold function blocks. (570L, 590L drives had no function block memory) A one-page CRT Link touchscreen provided operator input and monitoring. ConfigEd and SAM software suite was used to program all components and monitor their performance on-line.

The history of A Link techbox was designed to fit into a standard drive, allowing it to be used as a Link drive. No more special Link drive. Link 2 started to consolidate the highly distributed control of LINK 1, with the introduction of the LinkRack and LinkScreen Individual LINK 1 modules that needed their own 24V supply and RTN cards were replaced by a Link rack that would fit up to 3 I/O cards and 1 RTN card. Racks could hold a communication card to talk directly to a PLC. No more gateway module, no more gateway repeater. LINK 2

The history of The touchscreen was now LCD based, and could be configured with multiple pages of screens. It also doubled-up as a rack. Racks and screens were powered by 120VAC, eliminating large 24VDC power supplies used in LINK 1 systems. Both the rack and screen had enough memory and storage to hold a 6- section drive system configuration. DSD software now had the monitoring part built-in. No more separate packages for designing and set-up/monitoring. LINK 2

Introducing LINKnet is an Ethernet based modern version of our SSD LINK fiber optic system. CAT-6 cables replace fiber. No more repeaters. It caters to existing LINK customers whose fiber optic systems are several years old, and in need of modernization. A LINKnet techbox that fits in the same spot as the LINK techbox on 590+ and 690+ drives. 2014

Introducing Customers get to keep their panels, 590+ and 690+ drives, and change out only the techbox and the fiber optic network. Huge savings for the customer, resulting in future business. Link I/O will be replaced by Ethernet remote I/O modules. Any Link touchscreens will be replaced by TS8000 in phase 1. It is the new peer-to-peer network for 590+ and 690+ drive systems. 2014

I/O support

Modular Input and Output Modules A node can consist of a combination of analog, digital, and specialty I/O modules, with different potentials and signals (up to 230VAC). Up to 64 I/O modules* can be inserted in a node. * System can support up to 250 I/O modules with Bus Extension modules. Over 400 different I/O modules Digital Inputs & Outputs VDC & VAC (1, 2, 4, 8 & 16 Channel Devices) Analog Inputs & Outputs 0-10 V, +/-10 V, 4-20 ma, thermocouple, RTD; 3 PH power measure. (differ. & single ended) Specialty Modules Counters, encoders, serial interface (RS232 & RS485), AS Interface, Vibration, DC Drive

Bus Extension Modules Bus Extension Modules make panel layout flexible. Max. no. of I/O modules: 250 Max. no. of bus extensions: 10 Cable length: 5m Cable: STP-cable with RJ45 (straight through cable)

DSE programming & on-line Software

ConfigEd / DSD > DSE highlights DSE replaces ConfigEd, SAM and DSD as the software tool for both designing and on-line use. Version 3.00 or later supports LINKnet. Newer platform, compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8, 32/64 bit. Newer features like remote IP address access. More intuitive interface, with icons for frequently used features. Monitoring and Charting of any parameter from any address. Several other ease-of-use improvements.

LINKnet - DSE advantages No more -100 to + 100% limitation, as in LINK 1 and 2. No more 83.33% scaling for speed signals. No more 50% scaling for torque and current signals. Easy setup and mapping for I/O and communication cards. Update on-line from within DSE. No more Manger Import/export projects from inside DSE. No more Manager.

DSE packages DSE Development is the designer’s package. It creates and manages projects and configurations of entire lines. DSE Runtime is the maintenance package. It has full editing rights, same as DSE Development, but it cannot be used to program new projects or new modules. If you have ConfigEd or DSD, you will need to purchase the equivalent DSE package. If you have DSE already, there is no charge. Just update to version 3.00 or later by checking for updates from within DSE.

Retrofit plan

Upgrade scope When trying to specify an upgrade for an existing LINK line, use the following guidelines: Is it a LINK 1 system or a LINK 2 system? How many drive sections? How many locations/enclosures? How many points of analog and digital I/O? Where is the I/O distributed? How many touchscreens? How many total pages? How much extra processing in various modules? Any fieldbus communication present?
