OPERATION
DIGITAL OPERATION
The MSD Power Grid System Controller uses a high speed RISC microcontroller to control the ignition's
output while constantly analyzing the various inputs such as launch, burnout, and step wires; trigger signals,
rpm, and CAN-Bus data. The high speed controller can make extremely quick updates to the ignition output,
timing, and rpm limits while maintaining +/- 0.1° timing and +/- 1 rpm resolution. The circuits and controller of
this system have been designed for superior protection against Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI).
The Power Grid System Controller, PN 7730 / PN 77303, is designed to be used with the Power Grid-7
Ignition Control, PN 7720. This is a high output CD ignition control. The Ignition System allows for the System
Controller to be mounted on top of the Power Grid-7 to save space and provide a neat, compact installation.
The System Controller can also be used with other MSD Ignitions such as the 7AL-2, MSD 8-Plus, and the
Pro-Mag series. In order to use the rev limiting features of the System Controller the paired ignition must
have a built-in Soft Touch Rev Control that uses plug-in RPM modules. Pages 10-12 show wiring diagrams
for a variety of different ignition options.
