Element Description
1. HEADER (3Byte)
•
Data indicating the start of transmission: 0xFFFFFF
2. ID (1Byte)
•
The ID is a unique number used to address each actuator in a daisy chain connection.
•
Factory default ID value is 0.
•
In case of ID = 0 ~253, only the actuator with the reference ID will be operated.
•
In case of ID = 254 (0xFE), "Broadcasting Mode” will be activated which operates all actuators at once and Feedback
Packet will not work.
3. SIZE (1Byte)
•
Packet length in Byte unit.
•
Data counting value after "Size" data (CHECKSUM).
•
That is, Size value = Number of byte of "Factor" + 2
The structure and elements for Command Packets to operate your actuator are found below.
