SYNCHRONIZATION CABLE
(ENCODER TO 1ST AXIS) MSC-XXX
If an external encoder is used as the method of accomplishing synchronization. As many as 10
axis can be synchronized to this encoder. The connection of the external encoder to the first axis
is accomplished with this sync cable (see Figure 61).

MSC-XXX Cable
The MSC-XXX cable is provided in different lengths.
MSC-015
15 FT.
MSC-025
25 FT.
MSC-050
50 FT.
For some applications, it may be an advantage to not have an external encoder as the source of
synchronization. Instead, another digital drive could be the source. This is the purpose of the
second connector on the PCM-5.
