1. Servo Communication Protocol

The servo uses the FT-SCS custom protocol. The default serial port configuration at the factory is as follows: the baud rate of the SMS servo is 115200 by default, and it uses RS485 bus communication.

The configurable baud rate range is 38400 to 1 Mbps. The default communication address (station number) is 1.

2. Servo Memory Table Definition

If the function address uses two bytes of data, the low byte is stored at the lower address, and the high byte is stored at the higher address.

3. Special Byte Description

3.1 Servo Phase

Bit Count / Bit Weight Description

Bit 0 (1): Driver direction phase. (0) forward, (1) reverse.
BIT1 (2): Bridge mode — 0 = brushless, 1 = brushed (restart)
BIT2 (4): Speed unit — 0 = 0.732 RPM, 1 = 0.0146 RPM
BIT3 (8): Speed mode — 0 = speed 0 = stop, 1 = speed 0 = max
BIT4 (16): Angle feedback — 0 = single-turn, 1 = full angle
BIT5 (32): Voltage sampling — 0 = 1.5K low, 1 = 1K high
BIT6 (64): PWM frequency — 0 = 24 kHz, 1 = 16 kHz
BIT7 (128): Position feedback direction — 0 = forward, 1 = reverse

💡

Note: If multiple bits are set simultaneously, the servo phase value is the sum of the individual bit values.

For example: if the original phase value is 0 and the servo is set to run in reverse, the phase value becomes 128 + 1 = 129.

3.2 Servo Status

Servo status: 0 indicates normal, 1 indicates abnormal.

Bit Count / Bit Weight Description

BIT0 (1): Voltage status
BIT1 (2): Magnetic encoder status
BIT2 (4): Temperature status
BIT3 (8): Current status
BIT4 (16): Reserved
BIT5 (32): Load status
BIT6 (64): Reserved
BIT7 (128): Reserved

💡

Note: Multiple statuses can be combined. The servo status value is the sum of the bit values of all active statuses.

Example: Overvoltage/undervoltage (1) + Overheating (4) = 5.

3.3 Unload Condition

Unload condition — 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled

Bit Count / Bit Weight Description

BIT0 (1): Voltage protection
BIT1 (2): Magnetic encoder protection
BIT2 (4): Over-temperature protection
BIT3 (8): Overcurrent protection
BIT4 (16): Reserved
BIT5 (32): Load overload
BIT6 (64): Reserved
BIT7 (128): Reserved

💡

Note: Multiple protection conditions can be combined. The unload condition value is the sum of the bit values of all enabled protections.

Example: Voltage protection (1) + Over-temperature protection (4) = 5.

3.4 LED Alarm Condition

LED alarm condition — 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled

Bit Count / Bit Weight Description

BIT0 (1): Voltage alarm
BIT1 (2): Magnetic encoder alarm
BIT2 (4): Over-temperature alarm

BIT4 (16): Reserved
BIT5 (32): Load overload alarm
BIT6 (64): Reserved
BIT7 (128): Reserved

💡

Note: Multiple alarm conditions can be combined. The LED alarm condition value is the sum of the bit values of all enabled alarms.

Example: Voltage alarm (1) + Over-temperature alarm (4) = 5.
