Indicator Light Status

Normal Status Green On ERR = 1, Indicates ‘Enable Mode’, normal operation
Red On ERR = 0, Indicates ‘Disable Mode’
Abnormal Status Red Light Blinking Indicates fault, corresponding codes:
8 – Over-voltage;
9 – Under-voltage;
A – Over-current;
B – MOS Over-temperature;
C – Motor winding over-temperature;
D – Communication failure;
E – Overload

MIT Mode

MIT mode is designed to be compatible with the original MIT mode, allowing seamless switching while providing flexible control range settings (P MAX, V MAX, T MAX). The ESC converts the received CAN data into control variables, calculates the torque value, and uses it as the current reference for the current loop. The current loop then regulates the current according to its control law to achieve the desired torque current.

FAQs

Q: What is a robotic actuator?
A robotic actuator is a device that converts energy (electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic) into mechanical motion to move robot parts such as joints or end effectors, functioning as the ‘muscle’ of a robot.

Q: What are the three main types of actuators?
Electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic actuators are the main categories. Electric actuators are precise and clean, hydraulic provide high force, and pneumatic are fast and simple.
