Operation and Connection of Servos
This product can be controlled using either a PWM or serial signal. Use the Serial Signal menu function in
the ICS manager software to change between a PWM signal and a serial signal. Uncheck the Serial Signal
box to operate servos using a PWM signal.
Multiple servos can be connected to the output of a
single control board using the serial signal. You can
assign an ID to each servo in a range from 0 to 31 for a
total of 32 servos. The signal is then transmitted to
these servos based on their ID. The diagram to the right
is a representation of this arrangement. Connecting mul-
tiple servos to a single line is known as a multi-drop or
daisy-chain arrangement. You can technically assign
IDs to up to 32 ser vos, but daisy- chaining a large
number of servos may introduce power supply problems.
This also depends on the compatibility of your control
board.
Using a Serial Signal
RCB-4HV:2 x serial outputs. Suited for daisy-chaining up to 32 servos.
RCB-3HV:Not compatible with daisy-chain arrangements. 24 x serial output ports designed to each connect
to one servo for a total of 24 servos.
KCB-5:4 x serial outputs. Up to 10 servos can be controlled per output.
※Use C language for our KCB series servos to allow for greater flexibility of control.
Dual USB Adapter HS:This accessory allows you to send commands and control your servos directly from
your computer.
