Read the interface user manual to get started with the electrical setup and learn more about the interface.
To configure the actuator’s communication settings and adjust configuration parameters, use Actuator Connect – or configure parameters directly over Modbus RTU.
Tip: Use Actuator Connect™ Demo Mode to explore available functions and configuration options without a physical actuator. For commissioning and troubleshooting, connect via cable to configure the actuator or generate a detailed diagnostics report.
Smarter motion. Everything built in.
Smarter automation starts with smarter devices. With the interface, movement functions, feedback, and diagnostics built into the actuator, Modbus RTU support gives you more than just serial communication. It simplifies integration and makes intelligent motion part of your machine.
Easy integration:
Connect the actuator directly to your PLC or control system through the established Modbus RTU protocol, without workarounds or additional hardware.
Smarter automation:
Control movement and receive position feedback, status information, and diagnostic data through the same connection. Built-in functions reduce programming effort, while feedback supports faster troubleshooting and more reliable operation.
Simpler machine design:
The built-in controller reduces external hardware, wiring, space requirements, and system complexity.
We improve your life. And that includes making everyday work easier for both mechanical and software engineers, from machine design to integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
