9.6 Device Variable 3: Position Request
This variable permits to drive the actuator in a desired position when Loop Current Mode is Disabled
or HART topology is Multidrop.
9.7 Device Variable 4: Dead Band
This variable sets the percentage of the maximum position error without electrical commands.
9.8 Device Variable 5: Motion Inhibit Time
This variable indicates the length of the delay time between two motor cycles.
9.9 Device Variable 6: Actuator Alarms (1)
This variable shows the alarms status of the actuator. It’s is a bit_enumerated variable,
it’s not possible to write this data. The possible values are:
