Actuator setup

This page covers physical setup before USB or CAN communication.

What you need

Usually supplied by PULSAR HRI:

  • one PULSE actuator;
  • one power bus cable.

Usually supplied by the user:

  • a secure mechanical support and suitable screws;
  • a 48 V DC power supply;
  • a computer for configuration or control.

Setup

  1. Review Safety and prerequisites.
  2. Review the electrical interfaces before connecting or applying power, and review the mechanical interfaces before mounting.
  3. For a shared DC bus or an application that may return energy, review Regenerative energy management before selecting or energizing the power system.
  4. Mount the actuator using the documented mechanical interfaces.
  5. Connect the power cable to the actuator and power supply.
  6. Verify polarity and wiring before switching on the supply.
  7. Apply power and check the status LED.
  8. Choose a method through the Connectivity overview, then continue with USB or CAN FD.

For the shortest first-use workflow, continue to Physical actuator over direct USB with Pulsar App (browser).
