Communication To Internal Devices

RelayBoard

The Neobotix RelayBoard communicates with the platform’s on-board computer via a USB connection. Detailed information on the RelayBoard and the protocol can be found in its documentation (available on request).

Motor Amplifiers

All motor amplifiers and the platform’s on-board computer are connected to the same CAN-bus and set to a baud-rate of 1 MBaud. The amplifiers’ settings might need to be changed to match the communication requirements of the used control software.

The configuration software “Composer” from Elmo Motion Control can be used to configure, test and retune all motor amplifiers. Each amplifier can be connected to a COM-port (57600 Baud, no parity) of the configuration computer which runs the “Composer” by using an adapter cable. Please contact Neobotix in case you need to modify the controllers’ settings.

The documentation of the motor amplifiers (“Whistle” WHI 10-60) and the latest version of the configuration software can be found on the homepage of Elmo Motion Control. An introduction on how to configure the Omni Drive Modules can be found here.

The amplifiers use the CANopen protocol for CAN communication. The node IDs are as follows. All amplifiers use group ID 30.

Device Position Traction drive ID Orientation drive ID
A2 Front left 2 1
A3 Rear left 4 3
A4 Rear right 6 5
A5 Front right 8 7
