These are system-integration interfaces through the external driver, not all native wrist connector signals. Datasheet release2.1.6 (March2024) shows M8 hand cable SSI/motor phases and external RJ45/DI/DO driver; EtherCAT requires a compatible driver. No tactile sensing follows from this interface list.
