Tolomatic User Guide: ICR Rod Style Integrated Control Actuator 6-9
6.8.3 Digital Input Command
A digital input can be used to command the actuator in a pulse/direction mode
similar to stepper control. This command input is received from a PLC, a motion
controller, or other pulse generating device.
To program the ICR Plus actuator using a digital input as the command source:
1. In the Basic Setup screen, navigate to the Operating Mode Options screen.
2. Select Position for the Operating Mode.
3. Select Digital Input for the Operating Mode.

6.8.4 Communication Commands
There are three interfaces that can be configured to communicate with the ICR Plus
actuator:
1. ASCII commands over RS-232
A serial port can be used to communicate with the ICR Plus actuator using
RS-232. This command can be received from a PC, PLC, HMI or other device
and can be initiated as a single-axis or multi-drop configuration.
For illustrations on setting up the ICR Plus actuator using RS-232, refer to
pages 3-12 to 3-13. For specifics on the ASCII Command Line Interface, refer
to Appendix G: ASCII Commands/Serial Control of the CME2_User_Guide.pdf
provided on the CD-ROM shipped with the ICR Plus actuator. For constructing
ASCII strings to send serially, refer to ASCII_ProgrammersGuide.pdf contained
on the same CD-ROM.
