HercuLink
Overview
Why use a PDA?
You can operate your actuator remotely with an approved PDA running HercuLink software. Advantages:
• Upload/download configurations from/to the actuator to the PDA. If configuring multiple actuators
similarly, configure one and re-use it in the others.
• Upload performance/maintenance data to your PC to track and schedule maintenance.
Preparation
Perform these steps to use a PDA with your acuator.
Step Action
1 Install PDA desktop software on your PC.
Your PDA came with software to be installed on your PC. Ensure that it is installed on your PC.
2 Install HercuLink software on your PC
3 Run HercuLink Install program (on CD).
4 Hot sync PC and PDA to download HercuLink to PDA.
5 At the actuator disconnect all wires going to any active master Modbus device.
Communication problems will occur if the actuator is simultaneously connected to any active
master Modbus device and the PDA. To locate your actuator’s Modbus terminals, see your
actuator manual’s wiring section.
6 Connect PDA to actuator
Starting at the PDA and working toward the actuator, connect as follows:
1. Serial interface cable
2. B & B Electronics RS-422/485 to Palm converter (model 485BAT3). Set DIP switches to 485
and Echo OFF.
3. Turck cable (part # RK4T)
See Figure 1.
7 Configure Communications. See page 4.

Be sure to set up Communications before operating the actuator with the PDA. Settings must match those
of the actuator. Once settings match you can change them.

Name:
If the query fails, the result will say “No Response” indicating
the PDA is not communicating with the actuator. Check for
matching address and baud rate between the PDA and
actuator.
If the query succeeds, the result will show:
Device type (e.g. SA2001)
Software version (e.g. 1.0)
Tag Name of the device (e.g. SA2000)
You are now ready to operate the actuator with the PDA.

ATTENTION
Your actual menu may be different depending on how the actuator is configured and what
hardware options are present in the actuator.
The HercuLink prompts are unabbreviated versions of the abbreviated prompts on the actuator. (The
actuator display has 10 characters maximum.) For Configuration Set Up Group prompt choices and
descriptions, see the Set Up Groups in your actuator manual (see Table 1).

How to configure your actuator
To make a change or view any function within any set up group, do the following:
1. Select the function prompt within the group to be changed. This will display either an enumerated list
or a numerical value.
2. Make a selection from a presented list, or enter a numeric value. Note: Not Valid with Read Only
Parameters.
3. Select the Write button. Note: Not Valid with Read Only Parameters.
See the configuration examples below.
Configuration Examples: Input Group
Selecting the Input prompt from the Setup Group list will display a list of the input functions.
Example 1: Change the Input type
Select the Input Type prompt from the function list. This will display the screen below.
Since this parameter is an enumeration type, it shows a list of possible selections to choose from. Highlight
a selection and click the Write button. The value displayed should change to the selection that was made.

Example 2: Change the Input Hi value.
Select the Input Hi prompt from the function list. This will display the screen below.
Since this parameter is a numeric type, it expects a numeric value to be entered on the dotted line. Once the
value is entered, click the Write button. The value displayed should change to the value that was just
entered.

Input Calibration
Step Action
1 Prepare for calibration by performing the steps shown in your actuator maual’s calibration
section, then return here.
2 From the Home page, select the Calibration prompt.
3 Select the input type to be calibrated. This calibration procedure can be used for each input
type. Note: “Input” does not appear if input type is RSP (remote setpoint).
4 Connect a variable DC voltage source to the input terminals.
5 Select the Input prompt. The functionality of each button is described below:
Setup – Has no functionality in the input calibration procedure.
Function – Sequences you through the calibration states.
Auto /Man - Has no functionality in the input calibration procedure.
Display - Has no functionality in the input calibration procedure.
Increment - Has no functionality in the input calibration procedure.
