The DCL series actuators support the Modbus-RTU protocol. By referring to this application manual, you can connect the DCL actuator to Modbus.

Panel Description

1. Arayüz Tanımı

• P1: 220VAC Neutral (N)

• P2: 220VAC Live (L)

• P3: 4-20mA Input –

• P4: 4-20mA Input +

• P5: 4-20mA Output –

• P6: 4-20mA Output +

• P7: RS485 A

• P8: RS485 B

2. Buttons

• Açık: In “Setup Mode” (when switch SA points to “2”), pressing this key opens the actuator, and releasing it stops the motor. Pressing Ayarlamak Ve Açık simultaneously is used for full-open position calibration.

• Kapat: In “Setup Mode,” pressing this key closes the actuator, and releasing it stops the motor. Pressing Ayarlamak Ve Kapat simultaneously is used for full-close position calibration.

• Ayarlamak: Used in combination with Açık Ve Kapat in “Setup Mode” to perform specific functions.

3. Selector Switch

• SA: Selects the input signal’s direct/reverse action mode and setup state. It must be set while powered on for it to be effective. Factory default is 1:

  • 1 – Direct Action

  • 2 – Setup Mode

  • 3 – Reverse Action

• SB: Sets the safety position. When an external control signal is lost, the actuator moves to the specified position. Factory default is 2:

  • 1 – Move to Full Open

  • 2 – Hold Current Position

  • 3 – Move to Full Close

  Not: When using Modbus control, SB must be set to position 2.

4. Deadband Value Adjustment Potentiometer

• Adjusts the deadband value. Turning clockwise increases the deadband; counterclockwise decreases it. The range is 0.5% – 5.0% (factory default is 1.5%).

5. Indicator Lights

• L1 (Yeşil): Power Indicator – Lights up when power is supplied.

• L2 (Kırmızı): Input Signal Failure Indicator – Lights up when input signal fails.

• L3 (Kırmızı): Position Detection Failure Indicator – Lights up if the position potentiometer is open, shorted, or damaged.

• L4 (Kırmızı): Jamming Failure Indicator – Lights up when jamming occurs.

Settings

To enter “Setup Mode,” set SA konumlandırmak 2. This mode allows for:

• Travel calibration

• Input signal failure handling

• Deadband value adjustment

• Manual operation

• Çıkış akımı kalibrasyonu

1. Setting End-position

• Setting End-position of Close: Adjust the valve to the end-position of close using Açık and/or Kapat buttons. Press Ayarlamak, then Kapat, and hold both for about 4 saniye değin L2 lights up, then release both buttons. L2 turns off, indicating setting completion.

• Setting End-position of Open: Adjust the valve to the end-position of open  using Açık and/or Kapat buttons. Press Ayarlamak, then Açık, and hold both for about 4 saniye değin L2 lights up, then release both buttons. L2 turns off, indicating setting completion.

2. Setting Modbus Address

• The Modbus communication address and baud rate can be modified via Modbus commands.

• Factory default address: 1

• Factory default baud rate: 9600

3. Deadband Value Adjustment

• Turning the potentiometer saat yönünde increases the deadband.

• Turning it saat yönünün tersine decreases the deadband.

• Each tick mark corresponds to a 0.5% change.

• If set below 0.5%, it is automatically processed as 0.5%.

• İçinde Setup Mode, use Açık veya Kapat to manually open or close the valve.

Operation

To start automatic operation, set SA konumlandırmak 1 veya 3.

• Upon power-up, the actuator defaults to 4-20mA signal control.

• Sending a Modbus command switches the actuator to communication control mode.

• After power cycling, the actuator returns to analog control mode.

Important: When using Modbus control:

• Ensure SB is set to position 2.

• Every control command must include the control mode and position value to prevent unintended actions after a restart.

Using 4-20mA for Position Control

Not:

• İçinde reverse action mode, 4mA corresponds to 100% open, Ve 20mA corresponds to 0% open.

• Servo controller accuracy level: ±1%

• Hysteresis: <1%

Using Modbus to Control Actuator Position

Physical Layer

The DCL actuator supports the Modbus-RTU protocol and uses the RS485 interface at the physical layer.

• Communication Address: Configurable from 1 to 127, default is 1.

• Baud Rate: Configurable, default is 115200.

• Serial Port Format: 1 start bit + 8 data bits + 1 stop bit.

• Broadcast Functionality: Supported.

3. Configuring Communication Parameters

Registers 0x0040 – 0x0042 are used for communication settings:

1. Write 0xA501 to register 0x0040 girmek için configuration mode.

2. Modify register 0x0041 (communication address) and register 0x0042 (baud rate).

3. The new parameters take effect within 1 second, and further communication must use the updated settings.

4. Exit configuration mode by writing 0x0000 ile register 0x0040.

4. Forcing Default Communication Mode

1. Ayarlamak SA ile pozisyon 2 Ve SB ile pozisyon 2.

2. Basılı tutun KS button for about 3 seconds kadar red light blinks, then release the button.

3. Basılı tutun KC button for about 3 seconds kadar red light stays on, then release the button.

4. The communication parameters are now reset to default values.

5. Ayarlamak SA back to position 1 to exit this mode.

6. The new settings remain even after restarting the device.

Not:
If you forget the previous communication parameters, use this method to restore the default communication mode and configure the communication settings again.
