Robotis - SMPS2Dynamixel: Power Supply to the Dynamixel Bus

This module provides a convenient way to Power the Dynamixel bus lines. It is compatible with 3pin and 4 pin buses (AX/MX Series servos and EX/RX/DX series servos).

The module can receive up to 20V from a DC Power Supply and apply it to the bus.
The module was originally designed to be used with the Bioloid Power Supply (SMPS) but you can use other power supplies as long as the specs are respected.

The board includes two 3P connectors and two 4P connectors. (please note the DATA Line is not connected so Data bytes won't propagate between the connectors)
When using the USB2Dynamixel without any controller, this is the recommend solution to power the Dynamixel bus (as the USB2Dynamixel only interfaces with the DATA line).

A shrink tube is used to cover the circuit part to protect it from short circuit.

• 1x SMPS2Dynamixel

  The DC Power Supply is not included. For AX servos, we recommend using the SMPS 12V. For other servos you may use a DC Power supply respecting the Servo specifications and never exceeding 20V (maximum voltage supported by this device)
  

Compatibility:

• AX Series Servos (one wire TTL)
• DX/RX/EX Series Servos (RS 485)
• USB2Dynamixel
