These parameters can be adjusted using the Robotiq User Interface.
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).
Info
200 Hz is the maximum speed when commanding / reading from the Robotiq Gripper. It is therefore recommended to
send commands with a minimum delay of 5 ms between them.
Info
Maximum baud rate of ACC-ADT-USB-RS485 is 115200 bps.
120 Ohms termination resistor is already present on the converter and the Gripper. If multiple grippers are connected in
parallel on the same RS485 cable, termination resistor must be set to OFF in communication parameters.
