6.8.3 digital Input Command
A digital input can be used to command the actuator in a pulse/direction mode
similar to stepper control. This command input is received from a PLC, a motion
controller, or other pulse generating device.
To program the ICR Plus actuator using a digital input as the command source:
1. In the
Basic Setup
screen, navigate to the
Operating Mode Options
screen.

6.8.4 Communication Commands
There are three interfaces that can be configured to communicate with the ICR Plus
actuator:
1.
ASCII commands over RS-232
A serial port can be used to communicate with the ICR Plus actuator using
RS-232. This command can be received from a PC, PLC, HMI or other device
and can be initiated as a single-axis or multi-drop configuration.
For illustrations on setting up the ICR Plus actuator using RS-232, refer to
pages 3-12 to 3-13. For specifics on the ASCII Command Line Interface, refer
to
Appendix G: ASCII Commands/Serial Control
of the
CME2_User_Guide.pdf
provided on the CD-ROM shipped with the ICR Plus actuator. For constructing
ASCII strings to send serially, refer to
ASCII_ProgrammersGuide.pdf
contained
on the same CD-ROM.
