4. Mechanical Installation Requirements Please carry out structural design and assembly based on the drawings of each model module provided by our company. Please refer to this chapter for details of the screw types and techniques required for assembly. During the assembly process, all fixed screws must be threaded with thread glue, and the position of thread glue must be consistent, and the amount of thread glue must be consistent.

of the module power interface is DC55V, and the input voltage exceeds 55V, which can easily lead to driver failure. When a switch is used to control the joint for power, there may be an over voltage at the moment of power-up shock, this power supply mode needs to connect an electrolytic capacitor in parallel after the switch and before the joint power input (Reference specification:1000uF, 100V), as shown in Figure 5-1, to suppress overshoot of the input voltage at the moment of power-up phenomenon.

Description of the Power Supply Wiring There are two power wiring modes for this series of joint modules: single-axis direct connection and chain topology connection, as shown in Figure 6-1. When it is applied to the collaborative work of multiple modules, the performance of the two wiring methods is different, the wiring resistance of single-axis direct connection is small, and the line loss voltage drop is small;...
module use the ground connection method for power supply, as shown in Figure 6-2. In order to eliminate signal reflections in the communication cables, a 120Ω termination resistor is required in parallel at the CAN communication interface of both the controller and the end module.
brake to not work properly, and magnetic shielding measures should be taken for the module. Table 7-1 shows the static torque of the brakes for each type of module. Table 7-1 Static torque values of brakes RH-14 RH-17 RH-20 RH-25 RH-32 Module model Static torque (N.m)
8.2. Handling Methods 1. Adding a bleeder resistor By paralleling a resistor, when the module is in a deceleration operating state, the recovered kinetic energy is consumed through the resistor, thereby preventing the power supply voltage from becoming too high due to kinetic energy recovery. As shown in Figure 8-2, the disconnection/connection of the resistor can be operated through a logic control circuit.

Adding a storage battery During normal operation, both the switching power supply and the storage battery supply power to the module simultaneously.
