Moog MSD TWINsync Module Operation Guide

About this manual

The document details the TWINsync technology option for the MSD Servo Drive, which allows two drive devices to be interconnected via an optional communication interface on option slot 2. This setup enables applications requiring synchronization of two drives or sharing I/O and encoder interfaces between them.

Key features include serial data transfer via twisted-pair cable (RS485) in master/slave mode with a transfer rate of 4 MBaud. The system supports full-duplex communication with a frame size of 12 bytes, allowing up to three parameters totaling 8 bytes to be cyclically exchanged bidirectionally.
