DPC-11

UNIVERSAL PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

FOR HITEC PrOGRAMMABLE SERVOS

Test Functions Testing a servo’s function can be critical to

completing a successful project. Use these tests

to “burn-in” new servos or to check for broken

gears and other issues. The DPC-11 is capable

of performing the following tests:

1. Servo Travel using one of the following

methods:

a. Manual Positioning

b. Automatic Sweep Positioning

c. Step Positioning

2. FAIL SAFE programming position

Programming Functions The following functions can be programmed into

the HS-7XXX/5XXX servos using the DPC-11:

1. Direction of Rotation

2. Resolution (HS-7XXX Series)

3. Travel Speed (Slower)

4. Dead Band Width.

5. Overload Protection (HS-7XXX Series)

6. Center and End Points (EPA’s)

7. FAIL SAFE Position

8. FAIL SAFE, On or Off.

Connecting Your Servo It is recommended that you connect your DPC-11

in the following order for proper operation:

1. Connect DPC-11 to your PC computer

2. Launch the DPC-11 software

3. Connect your servo to the servo port

4. Connect a battery or other power source to

the battery port.

NOTE – You may have to cycle the

servo on and off more than once to

establish a connection.

WARNING

TIP – When programming the HS-

7XXX/5XXX series servos you are

required to perform an off/on power

cycle to store the data after each

programming task. For this reason it is

recommended you use an on/off switch

between the battery and the DPC-11

to make it easier to perform the power

cycles.
