1. Dynamixel DX-116
1-1. Overview & Characteristics of DX-116
Dynamixel DX-116 The Dynamixel is a smart actuator which incorporates a precision servo
motor and a control unit with networking functionality, all in a single unit.
Despite its compact size, it can produce high torque and has been
manufactured using high quality materials to provide the necessary strength
and structural resilience. It can also detect and act upon internal conditions
such as temperature and over-current .
The Dynamixel has many advantages over similar products:-
Precise Control Control position and speed with fine angular resolution (1024 divisions)
Compliance Driving Control the degree of elastic force in position control.
Feedback Feedback for angular position, speed and load size.
Alarm System Not only does the Dynamixel warn of a deviation from the user defined
ranges (e.g. internal temperatures, torques, voltages etc), but it also
automatically deals with the problems as they occur.
Communication Daisy chain connection with support for communication speeds of up to
1MBPS.
High Efficiency Motor Dynamixel uses the REMAX Series Coreless DC Motors from Swiss Maxon
Motor which boasts high output torque and excellent acceleration.
Distributed Control The main processor requires very few resources to control multiple
Dynamixels since the movement schedule requires only a single command
packet.
High Quality Enclosure The high quality plastic body ensures structural integrity under all
operational conditions
