Control/Display Module
The connection to the MagnaTran 7 Robot from the Control/Display Module (CDM)
uses standard factory-made RS-232 serial communications. The configuration for the
robot’s CDM communications protocol is described in
The standard module CDM allows complete control of all robot functions. The stan-
dard module CDM has an Emergency Stop button which will turn off the servos to the
robot. See

for instructions
on using the CDM.
