In the fast-paced world of automation and robotics, adaptability is critical. Systems must seamlessly integrate and communicate across a range of protocols to ensure efficiency and reliability. While most grippers on the market rely solely on GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) or RTU-Modbus, Apicoo Robotics goes beyond with multi-control modes, combining GPIO and RTU-Modbus.
What is GPIO?
GPIO provides a direct, simple interface to connect hardware with controllers, making it ideal for basic automation tasks.
GPIO offers simplicity with minimal setup, making it ideal for quick, straightforward tasks, and its low latency ensures real-time control in robotics. Its compatibility with various devices makes it suitable for prototyping and small-scale automation. However, GPIO lacks the advanced communication capabilities required for more intricate and precision-demanding applications.
What is RTU-Modbus?
RTU-Modbus is a communication protocol specifically designed for industrial automation. It operates over serial communication interfaces like RS-485, enabling devices to exchange data in a structured and reliable manner.
With RTU-Modbus, SusGrip Smart Grippers can dynamically adjust their gripping distance, velocity, and torque to meet specific task demands. Unlike GPIO, which limits functionality to basic open-close operations, RTU-Modbus enables precise, task-specific configurations for complex workflows.
