4.2.3 ACTIVE CONVERTER STATUS = ACS
The SET command requires twenty-six parameters. The set form of this command is

chain position CANNOT
be activated with a set command. To activate a chain position,
the form-c contacts must be connected to the NSU, the NSU must establish
communication with the switch module in the chain and then the RS485 connection
between the NSU and the converter must be established unless the NSU-Converter
Serial Link has been disabled.
Regardless of whether the unit is an NSU1, NSU2 or NSUN the set and query forms of
the ACS command requires all 26 parameters. For an NSU1 and NSU2 if a change to a
serial link or chain position outside the range of the NSU is attempted the NSU will
respond with “b”: illegal parameter or parameter out of range. The acceptable range for
an NSU1 is the Backup and Primary converter one positions. For an NSU2 the
