AX Series
AX-12W
AX-12 / AX-12+ / AX-12A
AX-18F / AX-18A

Connection to UART
To control the Dynamixel actuators, the main controller needs to convert its UART signals to the half duplex type. The recommended circuit
diagram for this is shown below.

Pin Assignment
The connector pin assignments are as the following. The two connectors on the Dynamixel are connected pin to pin, thus the AX-12 can be
operated with only one connector attached.
