10.2
Synchronized spindles interface
The synchronized spindles interface (SSI) allows several drives operating
from the same host to operate their spindles at a synchronized rotational rate.
The system operation is described in Section 5.7.
10.2.1
Electrical description
The electrical interface consists of one digital TTL reference index signal and
ground. The reference index signal (SSREF+) is an output if the drive is
configured as a master and is an input otherwise. The reference index signal
is connected from drive to drive in a daisy-chain fashion as shown in Figure 4.
10.2.1.1
Drivers and receivers

have the following electrical specifications:
Negated
