Potentiometer SCSCL Servo - Memory Table

For SCS/SCSCL half-duplex TTL series servos. Two-byte fields are transmitted with the high byte first.

1 Servo Communication Protocol

Servos use the FT-SCS proprietary protocol. The default baud rate is 1 Mbps or 500 kbps over a TTL single-wire bus, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit; configurable baud rate range 38400~1 Mbps (500 kbps), default communication address (station number) 1.

  • BIT0 (1): Drive direction phase; (0) forward, (1) reverse
  • BIT1 (2): ----
  • BIT2 (4): ----
