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.
