[PROGRAM]

It displays the motion edit mode is in progress.
It is used when the motions are editted with RoboPlus Motion.
It is automatically executed when RoboPlus Motion and CM-510 are connected.

[PLAY]

It displays the task code mode is in progress.
It is used after downloading the written code to CM-510 with RoboPlus Task.
The Start button must be pressed directly by the user to execute when PLAY LED flickers.
Status Display LED : The LED represents the current status of CM-510. Detailed discriptions are provided as below.
- TxD : Turned on while CM-510 is transmitting the data to the outside.
- RxD : Turned on while CM-510 is receiving the data from the outside.
- AUX : Assigned LED to be used by the user in the program. It can be turned on or off using task code.

Pinout

Power

The pin composition of CM-510 Power is as below.

External 5-Pin Port

The pin composition of CM-510 external port is as below.

OUT : 5V- Torque Possible (Maximum Allowed Current 0.9A)
VDD (5V)
ADC : The analog signals from the sensor made by the user can be read.
GND
NC : Not used

Communication Device Connection Port

The functions on the pins of communication device connection port are as below.

GND : Ground Level (0v)
VDD : Supply Voltage ( 2.7~3.6V )
RXD : Receive Signal Terminal
TXD : Transmit Signal Terminal

3-Pin Connector Port

The functions of pins on the 3-pin connector port are as follows. Please refer to AX-Series Pin Assignment for more information.
Please be careful not to change the direction considering the angular part.

GND : Ground Level (0v)
VDD : Supply Voltage (It is equal to the voltage of battery)
DATA : Data Transmission Pin

WARNING: To enhance user safety and to prevent proprietary risk or damage, be sure to check the pinout installed on DYNAMIXEL and the board. The Pinout of DYNAMIXEL may differ depending on a manufacturer of connector.

Connecting Power

The power is applied if the battery is connected to battery socket of CM-510 or if the power switch is set to ON after connecting SMPS to power jack socket. If the power is impressed, Power LED is turned on and one of the Mode Display LEDs flickers.

How to Operate

Turning the power on : The power is turned on by moving the switch from OFF to ON.
※ If the power is not turned on in spite of moving the switch to ON, the batteries may have been discharged.
Pleaser refer to Charging to recharge, or connect the power using SMPS.
Start : Move to PLAY using Mode Button to operate robots. Press START Button to execute when the LED on PLAY flickers.
※ If START button is pressed, the LED on PLAY is not supposed to be flickering any more; that is the normal status of the execution.
End : If you want to stop the executed operations, press MODE Button to get back to waiting mode stauts, or turn OFF the power using Power Switch.
It is used to control DYNAMIXEL and the peripherals, and it can connect DYNAMIXEL(AX/MX DYNAMIXEL… etc.) and various parts of OLLO(Touch Sensor, LED Module, IR Sensor etc.).
Specific motions can be edited and saved through RoboPlus Motion. The saved motion (mtn file) can be always executed by RoboPlus Task, and also the motions of each part can be controlled by writing the task codes for control.

Embedded C
The controller of CM-510 can be controlled in C language. Please refer to Embedded C for more information.

Connect to PC

PC Link(Serial Cable) of CM-510 and Serial Port of PC must be connected using download cable to communication with PC. If you want to communicate with PC on the laptop without serial port, you can communicate with PC using USB2DYNAMIXEL.

Wireless Communication

ZIG-110 Wireless Communication Module can be connected to CM-510.

Charging

You may obtain Lithium polymer batteries from www.robotis-shop-en.com.

If the robot alarm sounds off during operations then recharge the battery.

During charging the charger’s red LED turns on. When complete the green LED turns on.

Take the battery out

Connect the charger

Charge

Charging(Red LED), Complete(Green LED)

You can connect the robot to an external power source through SMPS.
The battery is equipped with a connector to charge the battery and another to move the robot

Charging Time and Battery Life/Operating

Charging Time

When fully discharged : 1~1.5 hour
Leaving the battery fully discharged for too long may reduce its lifespan drastically.
Time to charge the battery depends on the status of the battery(If the charging time or battery life becomes too short, you may need to replace your battery).

Caution

Do NOT keep the battery connected with a robot or a charger.
If you will not use the battery for a long time from now on, please keep it HALF-CHARGED.
Do NOT put the battery with an environment with high temperature or humidity.

Fuse Replacement

The fuse in the CM-510/CM-530 prevents it from overloading,which can damage the circuit.

If the CM-510/CM-530 does not turn on with the battery but turns on when connected to the SMPS, replace your fuse.

※ The size of the fuse is shown below. Use a 125V/5A~10A fuse.

※ How to replace the fuse

Find the fuse on the back of the CM-510/CM-530.
Use a pincette to replace the fuse with a new one.
