Supply Power

U2D2 does not supply power to DYNAMIXEL, therefore, an external power supply should provide power to DYNAMIXEL as below.
Before connecting DYNAMIXEL to an external power supply, please check the recommended voltage for DYNAMIXEL.
Caution for Power Supply
- For a stable power supply, it is recommended to use ROBOTIS controller or SMPS2Dynamixel.
- When connecting cable to DYNAMIXEL, please turn off the power.
[ Using SMPS2Dynamixel ]
In order to operate DYNAMIXEL with SMPS2Dynamixel, please connect DYNAMIXEL to SMPS2Dynamixel, then connect SMPS to SMPS2Dynamixel as
shown below image.
Please compare operating voltage of DYNAMIXEL with 12V 5A ROBOTIS SMPS before supplying power.
[ Using ROBOTIS Controller ]
In order to operate DYNAMIXEL with OpenCM 485 Expansion board, please connect DYNAMIXEL to OpenCM485 Exp board, then connect battery or
SMPS to the expansion board as shown below image.
Please compare operating voltage of DYNAMIXEL with battery or 12V 5A ROBOTIS SMPS before supplying power.
OpenCM485 EXP board will bypass the input power source to output power.
[ Using Power Supply ]
In order to operate DYNAMIXEL with Power Supply, please configure the power supply for the DYNAMIXEL before connecting cable.
Please check the pinout of the cable to avoid connecting to wrong pins.
