Shanghai United Intelligence Robotics Inc
The UID820 Digital I/O Controller provides 8 multifunctional I/O ports which can be programmed through instructions. Two of these ports can be configured as PWM outputs. The PWM frequency and duty cycle are adjustable through instructions in a real-time fashion. UID820 can network with other CAN2.0B based controllers through UIM Simple CAN protocol (open source, provided by UIROBOT). For users not familiar with CAN protocol, the UIM2501 CAN/RS232 converter can be connected to the network to provide an RS232 user interface to facilitate the operation on the user side. One UIM2501 CAN/RS232 controller can manipulate a network of 100 (or less) simple CAN based controllers (e.g. UID820, UIM242, and UID900).
For users that prefer using their own CAN master devices (e.g. PCI-CAN card or MCUs), UIROBOT also provides the open source Simple CAN protocol.
UID820 I/O controller also features simple and intuitive instructions. Furthermore, the die-cast aluminum enclosure provides a rugged durable protection and improves the heat dissipation.

Description of Screw Terminals
DB9 I/O Port
It is a standard male DB9 connector. The first pin is for GND. Pin 2 to Pin 9 are for 8 I/O ports. (Pin 2 for I/O port 1, Pin 3 for I/O port 2, etc.)
UID820 controller has an 8-bit DIP switch. When powering up, DIP1 – DIP7 are read as the UID820 controller’s ID/address. DIP8 can be used to enable the built-in terminating resistor when it is set at “ON” side (as shown in figure 0-2). Factory default of the DIP switch is: UID820 controller ID = 7 and terminating resistor disabled.
WARNING: The terminating resistor must be DISABLED unless the UID820 controller is at the end of the CAN Network.
UID820 controller ID can be set through the DIP switch through the binary method:
DIP Switch Setting
Control Area Network (CAN) provides a simple and reliable network solution. When a UIM2501 CAN/RS232 converter is used in the network, the following wiring scheme can be applied (figure 0-3).
Please note: in multiple-node CAN application (network consists of multiple UID820 controllers and/or UIM242 controllers), all nodes should be connected onto a twist wire pair, as displayed in figure 0-3. Star connection scheme must be avoided. Meanwhile, the stub must not exceed 2cm each (the shorter, the better). Both ends of the bus should be terminated with120Ω terminating resistors. Shielded 120 ohm CAN bus cable is recommended.
Wiring Scheme for Network Operation
Shanghai United Intelligence Robotics INC.(Shanghai Uirobot Technology Co., Ltd.) is a high-tech enterprise Registered in the Pudong Zhangjiang High-Tech Park, Uirobot is committed to the development of the robotic industry. Our robotic products have full independent intellectual property rights.
We advocate the philosophy of modular design and manufacture; that is, all our robots are independent modules, with each module using a unified communication protocol to communicate with other modules. In addition, the mechanical interfaces of all modules are also simple and similar to each other.
Different modules can be assembled flexibly to form robots with different functions. With user friendly features, users do not need to understand how the specific module works at the back end; they just need to combine / separate modules according to their request, which can greatly improve the versatility and flexibility of robot application and assembly.
Our lead researchers have many years of research and development experience for industrial and civilian robots.
Under Uirobot, we have developed a variety of robot components, such as wheeled and tracked mobile platforms with dedicated camera rotating heads, military-level operation control boxes, small sizes, powerful functions, intelligent stepper motor controllers, CanBus protocol-based control systems and so on. These components can be used to resolve related technical problems by themselves, or can be combined together to form robotic products with different functions.
Furthermore, we have also launched a series of stepping motor controllers. Suitable for use in both our robots and other applications, these products are characterized by small sizes and strong driving ability. With full intellectual property rights, these items are completely different from similar products on the market. With a size of just 42 x 42 x 14mm (L x W x H), these controllers have flanges that enable direct mounting onto 42, 57, 85 and 110 series stepper motors. Divided into parallel port series, UART (eg. RS232) series, CAN series etc., our ultra-miniature and micro intelligent stepper motor drivers are the only product featuring such small designs, high intelligence and high driving performance in the domestic industry.
We hope to develop new ideas and new realms in the field of robotic research and manufacturing, making our robot products as ubiquitous as home computers, and similarly playing an active role in the daily life of ordinary people. We desire to become the benchmark for robotics companies worldwide, and push the robotics industry into an advanced era.
Believing in "customers first, be creative and proactive", we will continue to provide our clients with great products and top quality services.
