Serial Commands
Command Modes* Description
AM 1, 2, 3 Displays the current actuator mode
AMn 1, 2, 3 Sets the actuator mode to [1] two position with stops, [2] two position without stops, or
[3] multiposition
CC 1, 2 Sends the actuator to Position B
CCnn 3 Sends the actuator counterclockwise to position nn (from 1 to NP)
CNT 1, 2, 3 Displays the current value in the actuation counter
CNTnnnnn 1, 2, 3 Sets the actuation counter from 0 to 65535.
(For example, to reset the counter, type CNT0)
CP 1, 2, 3 Displays the current position
CW 1, 2 Sends the actuator to Position A
CWnn 3 Sends the actuator clockwise to position nn (from 1 to NP)
DELn 1, 2, 3 Sets the command delimiter to [1] CR (default), [2] LF, or [3] CRLF
DT 1, 2 Displays the current delay time in milliseconds
DTnnnnn 1, 2 Sets the delay time from 0 to 65,000 milliseconds
GOnn 1, 2 Sends the actuator to position n, where n is A or B
3 Sends the actuator to position nn (from 1 to NP) via the shortest route
HM 3 Moves the valve to postion 1 (home)
ID/ 1, 2, 3 Sets the ID of the actuator to / (Must be 0-9 or A-Z)
*ID* 1, 2, 3 Resets the ID to None
IFMn 1, 2, 3 Sets the interface response mode to [0] no response string when an action command
is sent, [1] basic response to action commands, or [2] extended response to action
commands (needed for BCD interface)
LGn 1, 2, 3 Sets the interface response mode to [0] no extra characters, or [1] longer response string to
be fully backwards compatible with VICI microelectric actuators
LRN 1 Forces the actuator to find the stops on a newly installed valve.
(Note: The valve must be installed before this command is sent.)
NP 1, 2, 3 Displays the number of positions the actuator is currently set to index
NPnn 2 Sets the number of ports (nn) for the current valve. (Must be an even number between
2 and 40)
3 Sets the number of positions (nn) for the current valve. (Must be an even number between
2 and 40)
SB 1, 2, 3 Displays the current baud rate
SBnnnn 1, 2, 3 Sets the baud rate to 48(00), 96(00), 192(00), 384(00), 576(00), or 1152(00). The parity setting,
number of data bits, and number of stop bits cannot be changed.
SM 3 Displays the current default rotational direction
SMl 3 Sets the default rotational direction to [F] for forward rotation, [R] for reverse rotation, or
[A] to automatically choose the shortest route.
SO 1, 2, 3 Displays the current offset value
SOnn 1, 2, 3 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.
STAT 1, 2, 3 Displays the status of the actuator
TM 1, 2, 3 Displays the amount of time required for the previous move, in milliseconds
TO 1, 2 Toggles the actuator to the opposite position
TT 1, 2 Toggles the actuator to the opposite position, waits a preset delay time, then rotates back
to the original position.
VRn 1, 2, 3 Displays the current firmware version for [NULL], the main PCB, or [2] the serial interface PCB.
/? 1, 2, 3 Displays a list of valid commands
Modes are described on pages 4-5.
