MLK-FZ
The Master Link MLK-FZ card manages the data exchange between the central unit of the Z32 CNC FlorenZ Series and all the peripherals (servodrives and I/O's).
The MLK module connections are:
- RTE (Real Time Ethernet): connection with the Z32 CNC central unit
- Z-Link: optical fiber bus for digital I/O's, analog references, analog inputs, encoder inputs (2mS sampling time)
- Z-Star2: optical fiber bus for SPevo digital servodrives (250μS sampling time)

- Allows PE3 I/O modules mounted beside (see I/O Modules description)
- Manages Z-Link I/O peripherals
- Manages directly up to 8 SPevo digital servodrives through the on-board Z-Star2 channel
In case no expansion card (EXP-FZ1, EXP-FZ3) is present, up to 8 PE3 I/O modules can be connected directly to the Master-Link, like it's shown in the picture:
