8.3 Description of parameters
8.3.1 Initialization parameters 1 to 5
8.3.1.1 '1.YFCT' type of actuator
Requirement: Type of actuator as well as mounting type and direction of action are
known.
Possible settings: Actuator with normal direction
of action
Actuator with inverted direction of
action
● turn
● WAY
● FWAY
● LWAY
● ncSt
● ncSL
● ncSLL
● -turn
● -WAY
● -FWAY
● -LWAY
● -ncSt

Purpose: Use this parameter to adjust the positioner to the respective actua‐
tor.
● turn/-turn: Use this setting for a part-turn actuator with a directly
mounted positioner.
● WAY/-WAY: Use this setting.
– For a linear actuator with a carrier pin mounted on the lever.
– In conjunction with devices which use an internal
potentiometer.
● FWAY/-FWAY: Use this setting.
– For a linear actuator with a carrier pin mounted on the
actuator spindle.
– In conjunction with devices which use an internal
potentiometer.
● LWAY/-LWAY: Use this setting for an external linear
potentiometer on a linear actuator (e.g. with cylinder drives).
● ncSt/-ncSt: Use this setting for a part-turn actuator for:
– An NCS sensor 6DR4004-. N.10 and -.N.40
– A positioner 6DR5...-0..9.-....- L1A with internal NCS module
– A positioner 6DR59* with accessory NCS module
6DR4004-5L/-5LE
– External position detection systems 6DR4004-2ES, -3ES
and -4ES
– Internal NCS module
● ncSL/-ncSL: Use this setting for an NCS sensor 6DR4004-.N.20
on a linear actuator for strokes < 14 mm (0.55 inch).
