A cobot converts power at the point of use. A single DC bus runs to each joint, where local regulators produce the rails required by the motor-control and sensing electronics. The controller monitors these rails and reports any supply outside its normal range as a fault to the safety system.
The high-current stage that drives the joint motors is covered under joint control. This section covers the board and logic power that the rest of the electronics run on.
