Instruction Packet
Instruction Packet is the command packet sent to the Device.
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Reserved | Packet ID | Length 1 | Length 2 | Instruction | Param | Param | Param | CRC 1 | CRC 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0xFF | 0xFF | 0xFD | 0x00 | ID | Len_L | Len_H | Instruction | Param 1 | … | Param N | CRC_L | CRC_H |
Header
The field that indicates the start of the Packet
Reserved
Uses 0X00 (Note that Reserved does not use 0XFD). The Reserved functions the same as Header.
See the next image of a table of the Packet Details of the DYNAMIXEL Wizard 2.0, which shows that the Reserved (0x00) are included in the Header field.
A table of Packet Details of DYNAMIXEL Wizard 2.0
Packet ID
The field that indicates an ID of the device that should receive the Instruction Packet and process it
- Range : 0 ~ 252 (0x00 ~ 0xFC), which is a total of 253 numbers that can be used
- Broadcast ID : 254 (0xFE), which makes all connected devices execute the Instruction Packet
WARNING: Be sure that Broadcast ID(254 (0xFE)) return Status Packet for Ping, Sync Read and Bulk Read only, other [Instruction] aside from Ping, Sync Read and Bulk Read will not return Status Packet to Broadcast ID.
Length
The field that indicates the length of packet field.
- Devided into low and high bytes in the Instruction Packet
- The Length indicates the Byte size of Instruction, Parameters and CRC fields
Length = the number of Parameters + 3- Status Packet includes 1 byte length ERROR field’s data.
Instruction
The field that defines the type of commands.

| 0x02 | Read | Instruction to read data from the Device |
| 0x03 | Write | Instruction to write data on the Device |
| 0x04 | Reg Write | Instruction that registers the Instruction Packet to a standby status; Packet is later executed through the Action command |
| 0x05 | Action | Instruction that executes the Packet that was registered beforehand using Reg Write |
| 0x06 | Factory Reset | Instruction that resets the Control Table to its initial factory default settings |
| 0x08 | Reboot | Instruction to reboot the Device |
| 0x10 | Clear | Instruction to reset certain information |
| 0x55 | Status(Return) | Return packet for the Instruction Packet |
| 0x82 | Sync Read | For multiple devices, Instruction to read data from the same Address with the same length at once |
| 0x83 | Sync Write | For multiple devices, Instruction to write data on the same Address with the same length at once |
| 0x92 | Bulk Read | For multiple devices, Instruction to read data from different Addresses with different lengths at once |
| 0x93 | Bulk Write | For multiple devices, Instruction to write data on different Addresses with different lengths at once |
Parameters
- As the auxiliary data field for Instruction, its purpose is different for each Instruction.
- Method of expressing negative number data : This is different for each product, so please refer to the e-manual of the corresponding product.
CRC
16bit CRC field which checks if the Packet has been damaged during communication.
- Devided into low and high bytes in the Instruction Packet
- Range of CRC calculation: From Header (FF FF FD 00) to Parameteres before CRC field in Instruction Packet
- Calculating CRC and examples: CRC Calculation
Status Packet
Status Packet is the response packet transmitted from the device to a main controller. Note that it has the same construction as the Instruction Packet except the ERROR field is added.
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Reserved | Packet ID | Length 1 | Length 2 | Instruction | ERR | PARAM | PARAM | PARAM | CRC 1 | CRC 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0xFF | 0xFF | 0xFD | 0x00 | ID | Len_L | Len_H | Instruction | Error | Param 1 | … | Param N | CRC_L | CRC_H |
Instruction
Instruction of the Status Packet is designated to 0x55 (Status)
Error
The field that indicates the processing result of Instruction Packet
| Bit 7 | Bit 6 ~ Bit 0 |
|---|---|
| Alert | Error Number |
- Alert : When there is some hard ware issue with the Device, this field is set as 1. Checking the Hardware error status value of the Control Table can indicate the cause of the problem.
- Error Number : When there has been an Error in the processing of the Instruction Packet.
| Error Number | Error | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x01 | Result Fail | Failed to process the sent Instruction Packet |
| 0x02 | Instruction Error | Undefined Instruction has been used Action has been used without Reg Write |
| 0x03 | CRC Error | CRC of the sent Packet does not match |
| 0x04 | Data Range Error | Data to be written in the corresponding Address is outside the range of the minimum/maximum value |
| 0x05 | Data Length Error | Attempt to write Data that is shorter than the data length of the corresponding Address (ex: when you attempt to only use 2 bytes of a item that has been defined as 4 bytes) |
| 0x06 | Data Limit Error | Data to be written in the corresponding Address is outside of the Limit value |
| 0x07 | Access Error | Attempt to write a value in an Address that is Read Only or has not been defined Attempt to read a value in an Address that is Write Only or has not been defined Attempt to write a value in the ROM domain while in a state of Torque Enable(ROM Lock) |
Parameters
- As the auxiliary data field for Instruction, its purpose is different for each Instruction.
- Method of expressing negative number data : This is different for each product, so please refer to the e-manual of the corresponding product
Response Policy
- Broadcast ID(254 (0xFE)) is responded to Ping, Sync Read and Bulk Read only. For instance, Broadcast ID is not responded to Sync Write and Bulk Write Instruction.
- A response to Instruction can be determined depending on a value of Status Return Level in Control Table. For more details, see the selectable value from Status Return Level in Control Table of the DYNAMIXEL in use.
Packet Process
Processing Order of Transmission
- Generate basic form of Packet and afterwards Byte Stuffing(0xFD)
- Inspection range : Everything within the Instruction field to the Parameter field (not the CRC)
- Processing method : When the pattern “0xFF 0xFF 0xFD” appears, add Byte Stuffing (0xFD) (If “0xFF 0xFF 0xFD” already exists, add a 0xFD to change it to “0xFF 0xFF 0xFD 0xFD”)
- Length : Modify to Length with Byte Stuffing applied
- CRC : Calculate CRC with Byte Stuffing applied
Processing Order of Reception
- Search for Header(0xFF 0xFF 0xFD) : Ignore the Byte Stuffing(“0xFF 0xFF 0xFD 0xFD”).
- Packet ID : If Packet ID is valid, receive additional transmission the size of Length
- CRC : Calculate with the received Packet with Byte Stuffing included, and once CRC is matched then remove Byte Stuffing

- Header : H
- Reserved: RSRV
- Length: LEN
- Instruction: INST
- Error: ERR
- Param: P
Ping (0x01)
Description

Bulk Write (0x93)
Description
- Similar to Sync Write, this is an Instruction to control multiple devices simultaneously using one Instruction Packet
- This Instruction can be used even if the Address and Data Length of the data for each device are not all the same.
- The same ID cannot be used multiple times in the Parameter. In other words, it can only write once for each individual device.
- If the Address of the data is not continual, an Indirect Address can be used.
- Packet ID field : 0xFE (Broadcast ID)
