2. 1. 1. Area (EEPROM, RAM) The Control Table is divided into 2 Areas. Data in the RAM Area is reset to initial values when the power is reset(Volatile). On the other hand, data in the EEPROM Area is maintained even when the device is powered off(Non-Volatile).

This address stores firmware version of DYNAMIXEL. 2. 4. 3. ID (3) The ID is a unique value in the network to identify each DYNAMIXEL with an Instruction Packet. 0~252 (0xFC) values can be used as an ID, and 254(0xFE) is occupied as a broadcast ID.

2. 4. 5. Return Delay Time (5) After the DYNAMIXEL receives an Instruction Packet, it delays transmitting the Status Packet Return Delay Time(5). For instance, if the Return Delay Time(5) is set to ‘10’, the Status Packet will be returned after 20[μsec] when the Instruction Packet is received. Unit Value Range Description...

It is the torque value of maximum output. 0 to 1,023 (0x3FF) can be used, and the unit is about 0.1%. For example, Data 1,023 (0x3FF) means that DYNAMIXEL will use 100% of the maximum torque it can produce while Data 512 (0x200) means that DYNAMIXEL will use 50% of the maximum torque.

For example, a DYNAMIXEL with a Real Position of 2048 with a Resolution Divider set as 4 and Multi-turn Offset as 1024 will yield a Present Position of 1535 ((2048/4) + 1024 = 1535). NOTE : This feature is only applied in multi-turn mode and will be ignored in other modes. 2.

: P Gain / 8 : I Gain * 1,000 / 2,048 : D Gain * 4 / 1,000 The relationship between Compliance Slop and PID Slope P Gain The less the P gain, The larger the back lash, and the weaker the amount of output near goal position.

The picture above is the front view of DYNAMIXEL In multi-turn mode DYNAMIXEL has a range from -28,672 to 28,672 (can turn up to 7 revolutions in either CW or CCW direction). When resolution divider is set to a different value revolutions can increase. NOTE : If it is set to Wheel Mode, Goal Position value is not used.

It is the present position value of DYNAMIXEL. The range of the value is 0~4095 (0xFFF), and the unit is 0.088 [°]. The picture above is the front view of DYNAMIXEL. In multi-turn mode, the range is from -28,672 to 28,672 with unit values dependent on Resolution Divider (0.088 * Resolution Divider) NOTE : In multi-turn mode, Present position depends on resolution divider and multi-turn offset For more information turn to the section on Multi Turn offset and Resolution Divider.

It is the size of the present voltage supplied. This value is 10 times larger than the actual voltage. For example, when 10V is supplied, the data value is 100 (0x64) If Present Voltage(42) value is out of range, Voltage Range Error Bit (Bit0) of Status Packet is returned as ‘1’ and Alarm is triggered and set the address 17 and set 1 to the Bit 0 of the address 18.
2. 4. 30. Goal Acceleration (73) This is Goal Acceleration value. It can be used from 0~254(0xFE) and the unit is approximately 8.583 [° / sec When it is set to 0, there is no control over acceleration and moves with the maximum acceleration of the motor.
