NOTE: Above circuit is designed for 5V or 5V tolerant MCU. Otherwise, use a Level Shifter to match the voltage of MCU.

  1. GND : Ground (0 [V])
  2. VDD : Power Supply (Same as Battery Level)
  3. DATA : Data tranceiving 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.

CAUTION : XL-320 is not compatible with CM-550.

Connecting Power

In order to supply power to CM-550, either connect the battery to BAT battery socket or plug the 12V SMPS DC barrel into 12VDC jack.
Set the POWER switch to ON and the Status LED will be turned on.

NOTE : If 12VDC is connected to the power source, the CM-550 controller will cut the BAT input.

How to Operate

Power Up

Setting the POWER switch to ON will turn on the CM-550 controller.

If the controller does not turn on, the battery might have been depleted. Please refer to Charging Battery section to charge the battery, or use 12V SMPS power supply to operate the robot.

Start

In order to operate the robot, press the MODE button until the button flashes green. While the MODE LED is flickering in green, press the START button to run the downloaded task code.

If the MODE LED stops flickering after pressing the START button, task is running normally.

Quit

In order to stop running the task code and exit to standby mode, press the MODE button while task is running.

Operating Mode

The MODE button flickers in Standby Mode. While the MODE LED is flickering, press the START button to enter the mode.
Press the MODE button again to exit to Standby Mode.
