Serial Commands

NP<enter>

Displays the number of positions the actuator is currently set to index

NPnn<enter>

Sets the number of positions (nn) for the current valve

CWnn<enter>

Sends the actuator clockwise to position nn (from 1 to NP)

CCnn<enter>

Sends the actuator counterclockwise to position nn (from 1 to NP)

GOnn<enter>

Sends the actuator to position nn (from 1 to NP) via the shortest route

CP<enter>

Displays the current position

SD<enter>

Displays the digital input status where 0 = enabled and 1 = disabled

SDn<enter>

Sets the digital input status to [0] BCD, [1] disabled, [2] parallel, or

[3] binary. NOTE: Setting the status to [1] locks out communication

through the manual controller and remote control cables, so digital input

status defaults to [0] at power up.

SM<enter>

Displays the current default rotational direction for the digital inputs.

SMl<enter>

Sets the default rotational direction for the digital inputs to [F] for forward

rotation, [R] for reverse rotation, or [A] to automatically choose the

shortest route. This feature can be used instead of external wiring tied

to the Manual and/or Autodirection input lines on the Digital I/O port.

ID<enter>

Displays the current device ID setting

IDn<enter>

Sets the device ID to value n, from 0 to 9

NOTE: When the ID feature is enabled, all commands to the device

must be prefaced by the ID. Entering ID* clears the ID.

SB<enter>

Displays the current baud rate

SBnnnn<enter>

Sets the baud rate to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 14400,

19200, 28800, or 38400. The parity setting, number of data bits,

and number of stop bits cannot be changed. (See section entitled

Setting a New Baud Rate on the next page)

SL<enter>

Displays current Data Latch signal status

SLn<enter>

This command displays or changes the requirement for a Data Latch

signal to accompany BCD inputs. When set to [0] (factory default), the

data latch is required for BCD inputs. When set to [1], the data latch is

NOT required. This feature can reduce the number of control lines

required for a system with a dedicated BCD output port and only one

actuator connected. NOTE: Be sure all the BCD inputs are asserted

within 20 milliseconds of each other or the actuator may be misdirected.

SO<enter>

Displays the current offset value

SOnn<enter>

Sets the offset value of the first position to be any number from 1 to

96 minus the total number of positions. Example: for a 10 position

valve, the offset can be set from 1 to 86. (See section entitled Using

the Offset Feature beginning on the next page.)

VR<enter>

Displays the part number and date of the firmware

/?<enter>

Displays a list of valid commands

Note: In this chart, nn represents numbers to be entered and l represents letters.
