All-round Combining Dynamixel is built up with all-round combining structure and it is possible to connect one
Structure another with various forms. You can design a robot easily as if assembling a block toy by
using option frame for Dynamixel
Convenient Wiring Dynamixel is connected with Daisy Chain and it is easy to wire one another.
Network Dynamixel with a unique ID is controlled by Packet communication on a BUS and
supports networks such as TTL, RS485, and CAN depending on the type of model.
