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.
