Motor Drivers
Figure 4 – Motor Driver
The motor drivers are four DZCANTE 020L080 with a MC1DZC connection board on
top.
The drivers are programmed at Robotnik with specific a settings for each motor. The
serial identifier is the default one (63), but each driver has its own CAN bus identifier (1,
2, 3 and 4). DO NOT change them from one motor to another. To reduce power
consumption, if the velocity is zero, only the rear wheels brake, the front ones are free.
The computer sends CAN messages to move the robot, and they are different from the
left side (1 & 2) and right side (3 & 4). Driver 1 is the only one with the Can bus resistor
installed.
There are several analog and digital input/outputs available in each driver, check driver
datasheet for more information.
