The hardware description of the joint is shown in the table below.
No. | Name |
---|---|
1 | 24V DC Power Input |
2 | CAN0 Communication Interface |
3 | CAN1 Communication Interface |
4 | Electromagnetic Lock (Hard Limit Module) |
Power Input
The red and black wire harnesses are for power input, with the red being the positive terminal and the black being the ground (GND). The external power supply for the joint is 24V DC.
Joint Communication
There are two pairs of communication interface terminals, designated as CAN0 and CAN1. The blue wire harness is for CANH, and the white wire harness is for CANL.
CAN Communication Device Configuration
The ZLG USBCANFD-100U-mini CAN-to-USB tool is used (optional), as shown in the figure below.
Click Driver Tool to download the CAN to USB driver tool.
Extract the driver tool package to your local machine, and run the installation by double - clicking
USBCANFD_AllInOne_x86_x64_1.0.0.2.exe
to complete the installation of the driver tool.Confirm whether the test computer has the VC++ environment installed. If not, please contact technical support to obtain the driver package and install it; otherwise, communication will not be successful.
WARNING
- To meet the needs of interface card integration, Realman offers a unified programming interface that supports both CAN and CANFD.
- In addition to a simple and easy-to-use interface, example routines and documentation for interface usage are provided.
- The following Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library versions are required (and must be present): 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013.
- Before initiating motion, ensure that the joint is securely fixed.
- If you encounter issues with opening the device, please check whether the operating environment on your computer is missing any necessary components based on the software structure provided.
