2.9. Sync Port
The Sync port is a bi-directional high speed proprietary interface that lets you transmit encoder signals
between drives. This is typically used for multi-axis PSO applications where one or two drives send their
encoder signals to a main drive that has the PSO logic and PSO output signal. The XC4 contains two Sync
ports, labeled A and B.
To avoid signal contention, all Sync ports default to the input state during reset and immediately after
power is applied to the drive.
