Please be certain to read the MSD Servo Drive Operation Manual
before installing the device. It contains fundamental
information about
safety, device installation and detailed overviews of the connections.
3.1 TWINsync connecting cable pin assignment
The TWINsync option card is located at the MSD Servo Drive option slot 2 (see the
Operation Manual) and is equipped with a 9-pin D-Sub
socket (X8). The socket has
the following pin assignment.

Table 3.1: Pin assignment of the 9-pin D-sub X8 socket on the TWINsync option
card
The TWINsync connecting cable execution must be shielded. The pin assignment of
the D-sub plugs on the ends of the cable is described in the following table. When a
connecting cable with twisted pairs is used, the pairs must consist of the associated
wires for the respective connections (+ and -). The signal pairs for SYNC IN and
SYNC OUT as well as RX and TX must be crossed over in the cable. The SYNC IN
on the one plug end must be connected to the SYNC OUT on the other plug end and
vice versa. The same applies for RX and TX. The ‘+’ wire of the one signal must be
connected to the ‘+’ wire of the other signal. Analogously, the respective ‘-’ wires
must also be connected.
