What's inside SitoDrive

  1. Overview of JA series rotary actuator hardware

    The JA series rotary actuator (Version 1.1.0) is a compact precision motion solution. It integrates three primary hardware components: a DC brushless motor, a Field Oriented Control (FOC) drive controller, and an absolute magnetic encoder.

  2. Overview of SocketCAN for Linux

    SocketCAN is a Linux communication framework that treats CAN devices as network interfaces (e.g., can0, can1). This allows developers to send and receive CAN frames using standard BSD socket calls (socket(), bind(), read(), write()), providing a unified interface across different CAN hardware. It supports standard CAN (11-bit ID), extended CAN (29-bit ID), CAN FD, and ISO-TP, with kernel-level filtering to reduce user-space overhead.

  3. Overview of SocketCAN for Linux

    SocketCAN is a Linux communication framework that treats CAN devices as network interfaces (e.g., can0, can1). This allows developers to use standard BSD socket calls (socket(), bind(), read(), write()) to send and receive CAN frames, providing a unified interface across different CAN hardware (USB-CAN, PCIe, etc.). It supports standard 11-bit IDs, extended 29-bit IDs, CAN FD, and ISO-TP, with kernel-level filtering to reduce user-space overhead.

  4. Overview of SocketCAN for Linux

    SocketCAN is a Linux communication framework that treats CAN devices as network interfaces. This allows developers to send and receive CAN frames using standard BSD socket calls (socket(), bind(), read(), write()). It provides a unified interface for various hardware (USB-CAN, PCIe CAN) registered as can0, can1, etc., and supports standard CAN (11-bit), extended CAN (29-bit), CAN FD, and ISO-TP.

  5. Overview of JA series rotary actuator hardware

    The JA series rotary actuator is a compact precision motion solution. It integrates three primary hardware components: a DC brushless motor, an FOC (Field Oriented Control) drive controller, and an absolute magnetic encoder.

  6. Overview of the TA-Debugger Interface

    The TA-Debugger software is divided into two primary functional areas:

    1. Parameter Configuration Area (Left): Used for configuring TA actuator parameters. This is the recommended method for configuration over sending manual messages for higher reliability and efficiency.
    2. Motion Control Area (Right): Used for basic joint motion debugging.

  7. Overview of JA series rotary actuator hardware

    The JA series rotary actuator (Version 1.1.1) is a compact precision motion solution. It integrates three primary hardware components: a DC brushless motor, an FOC (Field Oriented Control) drive controller, and an absolute magnetic encoder.

  8. Overview of JA Series Rotary Actuators

    The JA series rotary actuator is a compact precision motion solution. It integrates three primary hardware components: a DC brushless motor, a Field Oriented Control (FOC) drive controller, and an absolute magnetic encoder. It is designed for high precision, efficiency, and robust performance across various operational environments.

  9. Core functions and capabilities of Sitodrive Joint Actuators

    Sitodrive actuators provide the following integrated capabilities:

    • Actuation: Rated and peak torque output for stable joint movement.
    • Precision: High-resolution encoders for accurate position control.
    • Motion Control: Support for speed and acceleration control to ensure smooth trajectories.
    • Telemetry: Real-time monitoring of temperature, current, speed, and position for maintenance and safety.
    • Connectivity: Industrial CAN bus protocol for data transmission.

  11. Understand Joint Actuator Emergency Stop and Brake behavior

    Actuators equipped with a brake feature an automatic emergency stop function. In Profile Position Mode, Position Mode, or Hybrid Mode, the brake automatically engages if a reset occurs or if there is a power outage (provided an appropriately sized capacitor is connected). The brake can also be controlled independently via messages regardless of the actuator's state (reset, control mode, or error state).
