Distributed Clocks

Slave Controller – Technology I-67

The second option uses a SyncSignal output of ESC 1 to trigger Latch0 at ESC 2 and an interrupt at

the µController. Upon receiving an interrupt, the µController writes the time of the SyncSignal pulse to

the System Time register of ESC 2. The µController has to calculate the time of the SyncSignal based

upon Start Time Cyclic Operation and SYNC Cycle Time configuration of ESC 1 from interrupt to

interrupt. The advantage of the second solution is less communication, the disadvantages are more

calculation overhead and error detection/troubleshooting.
