  • Velocity control
  • Torque control
  • MIT-style motion control
  • PID parameter configuration
  • Calibration and user-zero configuration

These functions apply only to the driver-equipped configuration.

Communication Interfaces

Standard on the driver-equipped configuration:

  • CAN
  • USB Type-C for debugging and configuration

Optional or project-specific:

  • RS485 through expansion hardware
  • EtherCAT solution subject to project evaluation
  • Additional expansion interfaces subject to engineering confirmation

Load Capacity
