Service Port
Protocol RS-232
Connector 9-pin Sub-D socket
Interface Cable Type Extension (not null modem)
Isolation 500 Vrms
Driver Current Error Threshold Demanded current does not match measured current to within ±20%.
Driver Overcurrent Threshold Measured current exceeds demanded current by more than 25%.
Approximate Actuator Open
Threshold (minimum) 13/(maximum required current, in amps)
The open threshold varies with current. The
lowest open threshold occurs at the highest
required output current. For example, if the
maximum current required is 120 mA, the
lowest value that will count as an open is
13/0.120 = 108 Ω.
Approximate Actuator
Shorted Threshold 1/(full scale current, in Amps) ohms, where full scale current is the driver current range
displayed on the service tool. For example, if
the driver current range is ±100 mA, the
short threshold is (1/0.100) = 10 Ω.
Exciter Voltage Tolerance ±0.2 Vrms
System Diagnostics Memory test, continuous monitoring of
internal supply voltages, A/D converter
reference check, hardware CPU power
monitor, software watchdog timer.
