VICI EUT Universal Electric Actuator - Manual (Page 15)


Command Reference
AM[n] Sets the actuator mode or displays the current mode,
where n = 1 = two position with stops (factory default)
2 = two position without stops
3 = multiposition
NULL = returns (via the serial port) the current mode
Modes available: All (modes are discussed on pages 3 and 4)
Examples
Command:
AM1<enter>
Sets the actuator mode to two position with stops
Command: AM<enter>
Returns: AMn [0x0D] (n = current mode setting)
CC[nn] Moves the actuator in a counterclockwise direction,
where nn = 1 to NP (See also NP command)
Modes available: All (with restrictions – in two position modes, nn is not allowed)
Examples (multiposition, mode 3)
Command: CC3<enter>
Moves the actuator counterclockwise to position 3
Command: CC<enter>
Moves the actuator counterclockwise one position
Example (two position, modes 1 and 2)
Command: CC<Enter>
Moves the actuator from position A to position B. If the actuator
is already in Position B, the command is ignored.
CNT[nnnnn] Displays the current number of actuation cycles, or resets the counter to zero,
where nnnnn = 0 to 65535
Modes available: All
In two position modes (1 and 2), the counter is incremented every time the valve moves.
In the multiposition mode (3), the counter is incremented by the number of positions the
valve moves; i.e., moving from position 2 to position 4 increments the cycle count by 2.
Examples
Command:
CNT<enter>
Returns: CNTnnnnn [0x0D] (nnnnn = current valve of counter)
Command: CNT0<enter>
Resets the cycle counter to 0 (zero)
Command: CNT100<enter>
Sets the cycle counter to 100
CP Displays the current position of the actuator
Modes available: All (see below)
Example (two position, modes 1 and 2)
Command: CP<enter>
Returns: CPl [0x0D] (n= ‘A’ or ‘B’) (l = current position)
Example (multiposition, mode 3)
Command:
CP<enter>
Returns: CPnn [0x0D] (nn = current position)
