Robotiq Hand-E C10 Gripper Instruction Manual
INFO
Modbus RTU is a communication protocol based on a Big Endian byte order. Therefore, the 16-bit register
addresses are transmitted with the most significant byte first. However, the data port is in the case of
Robotiq products based on the Little Endian byte order. As such, the data parts of Modbus RTU messages
are sent with the less significant byte first.
TIP

Each register (word - 16 bits) of the Modbus RTU protocol is composed of 2 bytes (8 bits) from the gripper. The first gripper output
Modbus register(0x07D0) is composed from the first 2 Robotiq Gripper bytes (byte 0 and byte 1).
