1 General Introduction
1.1 Features and profile
ProMOTION CDS series robot servo is a robot actuator which integrated motor, sensor,
servo algorithm and serial bus port. It’s an ideal actuator for small robots and other simple
position control equipment.

CDS55xx robot servo uses advanced control algorithm and high-speed micro
controller, with fast response and high position accuracy.
The CDS55xx robot servo integrated a continuous rotation position sensor with 330°
measure range for position control, and it enables the continuous rotation.
The CDS55xx use a half-duplex UART as communication bus port. User can assign a
address for each servo, and control single servo or broadcast instruction to each servo.
The communication protocol of CDS55xx is opened to users; please refer to this
document. The bus port is compatible to Robotis’ Dynamixel AX12+, and the protocol is
mostly compatible to it.
There are two work modes of CDS55xx: Position mode and gear motor mode. User
can change mode with instructions.
The profile and mount flange is compatible to most off-the-shelf standard R/C servos.
Please refer to the “CDS55xx robot servo Datasheet” for more Details.
