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

Sets the actuator mode to two position with stops

Command:

AM

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

Moves the actuator counterclockwise to position 3

Command:

CC

Moves the actuator counterclockwise one position

Example (two position, modes 1 and 2)

Command:

CC

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

Returns:

CNTnnnnn [0x0D] (nnnnn = current valve of counter)

Command:

CNT0

Resets the cycle counter to 0 (zero)

Command:

CNT100

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

Returns:

CPl [0x0D] (n= ‘A’ or ‘B’) (l = current position)

Example (multiposition, mode 3)
Command:

CP

Returns:

CPnn [0x0D] (nn = current position)
