Protocol Analysis

Protocol Analysis

  1. CAN baud rate:
    • Arbitration segment: 1 Mbps
    • Data segment: 1 Mbps
  2. ID: Consists of 16 bits, where 0x7F is the broadcast address.
    • High 8 bits: Represent the source address:
      • The highest bit is 1: Requires a response, acting as a master switch. Enabling it without sending a query command will return a frame with a data segment length of 0.
      • The highest bit is 0: No response is needed.
      • The remaining 7 bits: Signal source address.
    • Low 8 bits: Represent the destination address:
      • The highest bit is 0.
      • The remaining 7 bits represent the destination address.

For example:

  1. ID: 0x8001
    • Signal source address is 0.
    • Destination address is 1.
    • The highest bit is 1, indicating that a response is required, i.e., the response master switch is turned on.
  2. ID: 0x100
    • Signal source address is 1.
    • Destination address is 0.
    • The highest bit is 0, indicating no response is needed, i.e., the response master switch is turned off.

1.2 Mode Instructions​

1.2.1 Normal Mode (Position and speed cannot be controlled simultaneously)​

uint8_t cmd[] = {0x07, 0x07, pos1, pos2, val1, val2, tqe1, tqe2};

The normal protocol is composed of: command bits (2 bytes) + position (2 bytes) + speed (2 bytes) + torque (2 bytes), totaling 8 bytes.

0x07 0x07: Normal mode, which can control speed and torque, or position and torque (see [[#2.1 Normal Mode]]).

The position, speed, and torque data in the protocol are in little-endian mode, meaning the low byte is sent first, followed by the high byte. For example, if pos = 0x1234, then pos1 = 0x34 and pos2 = 0x12.

This mode can be divided into two control methods:

  • Position and torque control (at this time, val = 0x8000, indicating no limit).
  • Speed and torque control (at this time, pos = 0x8000, indicating no limit).

1.2.2 Torque Mode​

uint8_t cmd[] = {0x05, 0x13, tqe1, tqe2};

The torque mode protocol consists of: command bits (2 bytes) + torque (2 bytes).

0x05 0x13: Pure torque mode, followed by two bytes of torque data (see [[#2.3 Torque Mode]]).

The torque data in the protocol is in little-endian mode, i.e., the low byte is sent first, followed by the high byte. For example, if tqe = 0x1234, then tqe1 = 0x34 and tqe2 = 0x12.

1.2.3 Cooperative Control Mode (Position, speed, and torque can be controlled simultaneously)​

uint8_t cmd[] = {0x07, 0x35, val1, val2, tqe1, teq2, pos1, pos2};

The cooperative control mode protocol: command bits (2 bytes) + speed (2 bytes) + torque (2 bytes) + position (2 bytes), totaling 8 bytes.

0x07 0x35: Cooperative control mode, which specifies rotating at a specified speed to a specified position and limiting the maximum torque.

In this mode, using the parameter 0x8000 indicates no limit (no limit on speed and torque means the maximum value). For example, val = 5000, tqe = 1000, pos = 0x8000: It means the motor rotates at a speed of 0.5 rotations per second, with a maximum torque of 0.1 NM.

The position, speed, and torque data in the protocol are all in little-endian mode, that is, the low byte is sent first, followed by the high byte. For example, if pos = 0x1234, then pos1 = 0x34 and pos2 = 0x12.

1.3 Motor Status Data Reading​

  1. The protocol for reading the motor status part is the same as the protocol in CAN-FD, with the only difference being that CAN is limited by an 8-byte data segment.
  2. For the register address and function instructions, please refer to the "Register Function, Motor Operation Mode, Error Code Instructions.xlsx" file.
  3. Due to the 8-byte data segment limitation of CAN, a single CAN frame can return a limited amount of motor information:
    • One float type or int32_t type motor information in a register.
    • Three consecutive int16_t type motor information.
    • Six consecutive int8_t type motor information.
  4. The example program provides sample functions for querying motor position, speed, and torque information of int16_t type and motor information parsing (the example program uses a union in C language to directly copy the data from the 3rd to the 8th byte in CAN).

1.3.1 Sending Protocol Instructions​

uint8_t tdata[] = {cmd, addr, cmd1, addr1, cmd2, add2};

The general meaning is: Read cmd[0, 1] number of cmd[3, 2] type data from addr.

cmd:

  • High four bits [7, 4]: 0001 indicates reading.
  • Bits 2-3 [3, 2]: Indicate the type.
    • 00: int8_t type.
    • 01: int16_t type.
    • 10: int32_t type.
    • 11: float type.
  • Low 2 bits [1, 0]: Indicate the quantity.
    • 01: One data.
    • 10: Two data.
    • 11: Three data.

addr: The starting address to acquire.

Multiple cmds and addrs can be concatenated to read data with discontinuous addresses and different types at one time.

1.3.2 Receiving Protocol Instructions​

Assume the acquired data is uint16_t.

uint8_t rdata[] = {cmd, addr, a1, a2, b1, b2, ..., cmd1, addr1, c1, c2, c3, c4}

cmd:

  • High four bits [7, 4]: 0010 indicates response.
  • Bits 2-3 [3, 2]: Indicate the type.
    • 00: int8_t type.
    • 01: int16_t type.
    • 10: int32_t type.
    • 11: float type.
  • Low 2 bits [1, 0]: Indicate the quantity.
    • 01: One data.
    • 10: Two data.
    • 11: Three data.

addr: The starting address to acquire.

a1, a2: Data 1, in little-endian mode.

b1, b2: Data 2, in little-endian mode.

1.3.3 Example​

  1. We need to read position, speed, and torque data.
  2. From the register excel table, we know that the data addresses for position, speed, and torque are: 01, 02, 03.
  3. From this, we can see that we can read 3 consecutive data starting from address 01. Considering that CAN can transmit a maximum of 8 bytes of data at a time, and cmd + addr occupies two bytes, the data type can at most be int16_t type.
  4. From the above, the binary of cmd is: 0001 0111, and the hexadecimal is: 0x17.
  5. It is necessary to start reading from address 01, so addr is 0x01.
  6. The total data to be sent is uint8_t tdata[] = 1.

The sample code is as follows:

/**
* @brief Read the motor
* @param id
*/
void motor_read(uint8_t id)
{
static uint8_t tdata[8] = {0x17, 0x01};
CAN_Send_Msg(0x8000 | id, tdata, sizeof(tdata));
}

uint8_t cmd[] = {0x17, 0x01};

The overall meaning is: Start from address 0x01 and read 3 int16_t registers (as per the table, the registers at addresses 0x01 to 0x03 represent position, speed, and torque respectively). Therefore, this command is to query the motor's position, speed, and torque information.

0x17: The binary of 0x17[7:4] is 0001: indicating read. The binary of 0x17[3:2] is 01: indicating the data type is int16_t. The binary of 0x17[1:0] is 11: indicating the number of data is 3. 0x01: Start from address 0x01.

Corresponding received data example:

uint8_t rdata[] = {0x27, 0x01, 0x38, 0xf6, 0x09, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};

0x27: Corresponding to the sent 0x17. 0x01: Start from address 0x01. 0x38 0xf6: Position data: 0xf638, i.e., -2505. 0x09 0x00: Speed data: 0x0009, i.e., 9. 0x00 0x00: Torque data: 0x0000, i.e., 0.

1.4 Motor Stop​

  1. Stop the motor.
  2. Corresponding to the host computer instruction d stop.

CAN_Send_Msg(0x8000 | id, tdata, sizeof(tdata));
}

1.5 Reset Motor Zero Position​

Instructions:

  1. Set the current position as the motor's zero position.
  2. This instruction only modifies it in RAM and needs to be used with the conf write instruction to save it to flash.
  3. It is recommended to send the conf write instruction about 1s after using this instruction.
void rezero_pos(uint8_t id)
{
uint8_t tdata[] = {0x40, 0x01, 0x04, 0x64, 0x20, 0x63, 0x0a};
CAN_Send_Msg(0x8000 | id, tdata, sizeof(tdata));
HAL_Delay(1000); // It is recommended to delay for 1s
conf_write(id); // Save the settings
}

void motor_read(CAN_HandleTypeDef *hcan, uint8_t id)
{
static uint8_t tdata[8] = {0x17, 0x01};
can_send(hcan, 0x8000 | id, tdata, sizeof(tdata));
}

1.8 Periodically Return Motor Status Data​

Instructions:

  1. Periodically return motor position, speed, and torque data.
  2. The returned data format is the same as that obtained using the 0x17, 0x01 instruction (i.e., 1.7 Reading Position Status).
  3. The period unit is ms.
  4. The minimum period is 1ms.
  5. To stop the periodic return of data, set the period to 0 or power off the motor.
  6. For the parsing of the motor feedback status information data, please refer to the code in the interrupt function HAL_FDCAN_RxFifo0Callback in the example.
void timed_return_motor_status(uint8_t id, int16_t t_ms)

Controlling Motors with reComputer Mini Jetson Orin​

Currently, the most commonly used CAN communication interfaces for motors in the market are XT30(2+2) and JST connectors. Our reComputer Mini Jetson Orin and reComputer Robotics devices are equipped with dual XT30(2+2) ports and JST-based CAN interfaces, providing seamless compatibility.

reComputer Mini:

reComputer Robotics

For more details on CAN usage, please refer to this wiki.

Enabling CAN Interface​

Step 1: Before using CAN0 and CAN1, remove the bottom cover and set both 120Ω termination resistors to the ON position.

Step 2: Connect the motor directly to CAN0 of the reComputer Mini via the XT30(2+2) interface.

tip

The H/L pins of the reComputer Mini's CAN interface are opposite to those of the motor, so the H/L connections in the XT30 2+2 harness need to be reversed.

danger

This power solution is only suitable for single-motor learning and testing. For multi-motor applications, please design an independent power board to isolate the Jetson power supply from the motor power supply to avoid large currents passing directly through the Jetson.

Enabling Jetson CAN Communication​

Open a terminal and enter the following command to pull the GPIO pin high to activate CAN0:

gpioset --mode=wait 0 43=0

If using the JST interface's CAN1, pull pin 106 high:

gpioset --mode=wait 0 106=0

Keep this terminal open and create a new terminal to configure CAN0:

sudo modprobe mttcan
sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
sudo ip link set can0 up
