DYNAMIXEL RX-28 2-3. Dynamixel Wiring Pin Assignment The connector pin assignments are as the following. The two connectors on the Dynamixel are connected pin to pin, thus the RX-28 can be operated with only one connector attached. ( Note : The pin number of connector’s edge cut side is PIN1) PIN1: GND PIN4: D- PIN2: VDD(12V~21V) PIN3: D+ PIN3: D+ PIN2: VDD(12V~21V) PIN4: D- PIN1: GND Wiring Connect the RX-28 actuators pin to pin as shown below.

DYNAMIXEL RX-28 Connection to UART To control the Dynamixel actuators, the main controller needs to convert its UART signals to the RS485 type. The recommended circuit diagram for this is shown below.\ CCW VDD VDD The power is supplied to the Dynamixel actuator from the main controller through Pin 1 and Pin 2 of the Molex3P connector. (The circuit shown above is presented only to explain the use of RS485 UART. The CM-2 PLUS controller already has the abo

DYNAMIXEL RX-28 Caution Please ensure that the pin assignments are correct when connecting the Dynamixel actuators. Check the current consumption when powering on. The current consumption of a single Dynamixel actuator unit in standby mode should be no larger than 50mA Connection Status Verification When power is applied to the Dynamixel actuator, the LED blinks twice to confirm its connection. Inspection If the above operation was not successful, then check the co

DYNAMIXEL RX-28 3. Communication Protocol 3-1. Communication Overview Packet The main controller communicates with the Dynamixel units by sending and receiving data packets. There are two types of packets; the “Instruction Packet” (sent from the main controller to the Dynamixel actuators) and the “Status Packet” (sent from the Dynamixel actuators to the main controller.) Instruction Packet Main Controller Status Packet Communication For the system connection below,

DYNAMIXEL RX-28 Control Table The Control Table contains information on the status and operation of the Dynamixel actuator. The Dynamixel actuator is operated by writing values to its control table and its status is checked by reading values off its control table. RAM and EEPROM The data values for the RAM area will be set to the default initial values whenever the power is turned on. However, the data values for the EEPROM area are non-volatile and will still remain even after the pow
