The Dynamixel MX-12W servo motor offers you greater control accuracy.
Dynamixel servo motors are integrated actuators that include:
Dynamixel servo motors have a unique identifier and communicate via digital packets.
The main characteristics of the Dynamixel range are:
The following video demonstrates the existing capabilities and applications of Dynamixel servo motors:
To make life simple, the Dynamixel servo motor range can be divided into 3 families (if we leave out the small Dynamixel XL-320 servo motor, which is separate) by classifying them according to their footprint, i.e. their size and hence the mounting frames you need to use. Within each family, the servo motors are interchangeable in terms of the size of the outer case. This short introduction will help you anderstand this new servo motor’s positioning. So the 3 families are:
The MX-12W is a servo motor that falls in the first family, in other words that of the AX-12A. As you see, it’s the first servo motor in this family to bear the prefix M (which distinguishes the latest generation of Dynamixel servo motors, which are smarter). Before the arrival of the Dynamixel MX-12W servo motor, you had only two choices for replacing the AX-12A: the AX-18A for power or the AX-12W for speed. You can now choose the MX-12W for control and intelligence, and benefit for example from its PID control.
The following image shows a diagram of the Dynamixel MX-12W servo motor with the dimensions in mm:
Check that your Dynamixel servomotor is correctly configured. Do not hesitate to re-flash it with the ROBOTIS Software Roboplus. After re-flash remember to re-configure it. If the issue is not solved, contact us for an advanced support.
The motor is probably not well mounted. Check that you correctly mounted the horns by respecting the mark.
There is probably a mechanical issue with the Dynamixel servomotor. You can directly contact us to get more advance support.
Check your power supply and the system cabling (try with a different servomotor). You can also reset the servo. If nothing works, the best solution is to go through the Dynamixel servomotor checklist!
The 1.0 protocol is dedicated to the Dynamixel AX and MX series. Protocol 2.0 is for the X and Dynamixel Pro series. Protocol 2.0 control tables include PID controls which allow for more precise adjustment of the servo motor movements. Protocol 2.0 can be updated on MX series servo motors. You can refer to the protocol 1.0 and protocol 2.0 pages for more informations.
