Home > Integration > 2-Finger Robotiq gripper communication speed change
imuguruza

Hi there,

I would like to lower the communication speed of the 2-Finger I've got.
I have used the "Robotiq User Interface" in order to change it.
Afterwards, to test it out, I have run a program I have at the speed I have set (9600 bps) but is not communicating. If I run the same program with 115200 bps, the gripper answers. So this means that the speed change has not been effectively done.

So my questions is if it's possible to change the RS-485 communication speed the gripper has by default.

Thanks in advance,

imuguruza

As you said, it is possible to change the Modbus RTU baud rate using the Robotiq User Interface.

Unfortunately, the 2-Finger Gripper has communication issues when setting the baud rate to less than 19200 bps. Our engineers are working on a version that will support a lower rate, but it is not a priority.

Could you use 19200 bps in your application?

OK, good to know, I will try to change to that speed.
