How to switch connections between multiplex devices, robots, and multiplex devices

摘要

A multiplex device capable of adjustment of a position signal output section, a robot, and a method for switching connection of the multiplex device. The multiplex device includes: a multiplex connecting section connected to a movable side multiplex device, the multiplex connecting section being configured to transmit a position signal outputted from a position signal output section connected to the movable side multiplex device by multiplexing communication with the movable side multiplex device; an amplifier connecting section connected to a position signal output section amplifier, the amplifier being configured to transmit the position signal to the position signal output section amplifier; a measuring device connecting section connected to a position signal measuring device; and a switching section configured to switch from a connection between the multiplex connecting section and the position signal output section amplifier, and a connection between the multiplex connecting section and the position signal measuring device in accordance with detection of a connection between the measuring device connecting section and the position signal measuring device.
