Product Description

The DPC-11 servo programming device (PC dongle) facilitates the programming, adjustment, and testing of Hitec digital servos using a computer. This tool is particularly useful for configuring multiple servos, as the intuitive PC software streamlines the setup process. It is compatible with the following Hitec servo models: HS-5XXX, 7XXX, HSB-9XXX, and the D-series.

The following functions can be programmed into HiTEC BLDC servos using the DPC-11:

1. Setting the middle and end points (180° function) to define the range of motion.
2. Setting the direction of rotation (clockwise/counterclockwise) to determine the operational direction.
3. Setting the dead zone (electronic "play") to adjust sensitivity around the neutral position.
4. Adjusting the speed to make the servo slower if necessary, providing control over movement speed.
5. Adjusting the soft start, ensuring the servo gradually moves to its neutral position upon activation for smoother operation.
6. Setting the fail-safe function to specify the servo's behavior in case of signal loss or interruption.
7. Setting the overload protection to prevent damage by making the servo "soft" if overloaded, which can prevent it from burning out in extreme cases.
8. Save or load settings for easy management and replication of configurations.
9. Factory reset to return the servo to its original settings.
10. Programming the FAIL SAFE, either On or Off, for added safety.
11. Specifying the FAIL SAFE Position to define where the servo should move in case of a fail-safe event.
12. Adjusting the Dead Band Width to fine-tune the servo's response to input signals.
13. Utilizing the “Save and Open” Parameter File feature for custom settings management.
14. Loading the Factory Default Parameter File to restore original configurations.

For testing HiTEC BLDC servos, the following functions are available:

1. Servo Travel, which can be tested using one of these methods:
   • Manual Positioning for direct control over the servo's position.
   • Automatic Sweep Positioning for continuous movement across the servo's range.
   • Step Positioning for incremental movement to test precision and responsiveness.
2. Testing the FAIL SAFE programming position to ensure the servo correctly moves to the predefined position in case of signal loss.
