1. OVERVIEW
1.1 DESCRIPTION
1.2 WHAT IS INCLUDED
hThe CommandValve Signal Converter, P1012593
h18” Molex-to-DC Connector Cable
h10 ft. RJ11-to-Bare Wire Cable
The Ideal Vacuum CommandValveTM Signal Converter extends the capability of the
CommandValve through analog and Modbus communication. The Signal Converter is compatible
with CommandValves with rmware version 1.7.2 or higher.
Without the Signal Converter, the CommandValve is limited to control via a USB host that can
communicate serial commands. The CommandValve, by itself, can be operated with IVP’s
DirectVac II software, downloadable from any CommandValve listing on idealvac.com, with terminal
software, such as Termite®, by writing a CommandValve control program, or by integration into an
existing system automation program. Please read the CommandValve User Manual:
https://www.idealvac.com/les/manuals/IVP_CommandValve_Generation_II_User_Manual.pdf
1.3 DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING
The SIgnal Converter is packaged in a small, black ABS case. It can be mounted on any at
surface using high quality two-sided tape or by using the ange mounting holes. CAD les are
available at https://www.idealvac.com/pp/P1012593.

Power is supplied to the Signal Converter with a 12-24 VDC power supply . The 12 VDC power
supply, included with the CommandValve, can be used to power both the Signal Converter and
the CommandValve. Power (12 VDC) is output from the Signal Converter to the CommandValve
through the Molex power connector . A Molex-to-DC plug cable is supplied with the Converter.
The USB-A port provides communications between the Signal Converter and the CommandValve
. Analog signals are output and input through the two 3.5mm (1/8”) mini phone plug jacks,
& . Orange and green LEDs indicate the state of the CommandValve . An Orange LED
indicates that a CommandValve is detected. A ashing green LED indicates that the Commandvalve
buttery is moving. The RJ11 jack is for RS485 ModBus communications . Pinouts for the RJ11
jack are shown in Table 2, below.

3. ANALOG USAGE
The Signal Converter’s factory default setting is to use analog input signals and supply analog output
signals from 0.5 to 4.5 volts. This voltage range denes a linear scale between a CommandValve
buttery angle of 0° and 90°. Values below the low end of the range are mapped to 0°, values
higher than the high end of the range are mapped to 90° (for any voltage range conguration).
There are four possible analog voltage range congurations which are shared by both the input and
output signals. The voltage conguration selection is set through the Modbus Holding Registers
(“
Analog Range Mode ”, Table 5, p. 7), using an analog voltage range selection (Table 6, p. 8).
Analog input can be disabled (and should be disabled) if one wants to utilize the Modbus interface
to control the valve (see Modbus Usage, below).
4. MODBUS USAGE
Modbus is utilized to congure the Signal Converter. Modbus RDU protocol on RS-485 is followed.
Modbus can control the valve on a Modbus network and can also be used to monitor and debug
the analog system.
Modbus registration tables are found on page 7. Modbus conguration tables are found on page 8.
As delivered, Modbus is NOT congured to control the valve directly. Setting the “
Analog Input ” coil
(Coils, Table 3, p. 7) to it’s off state and then modifying the “
Desired Angle ” (Holding Registers,
Table 5, p. 7) provides the necessary ability to control the valve.
To monitor the progress of the valve, “
Angle Position ” provides an interface to read the valve’s real
buttery angle value (Input Registers, Table 4, p. 7).
The “
Valve Model ID ” identies which command valve has been identied on the controller, if any
(Input Register, Table 4, p. 7, and Valve Models, Table 7, p. 8).
The Modbus interface provides a “
Control On ” coil to stop the Converter from controlling the
CommandValve through ANY input (Coils, Table 3, p. 7). This allows the user to use the push
buttons on the side of the CommandValve without them ghting the Signal Converter.
By default, Modbus serial settings are baud rate 9600, data bits 8, stop bits 1, no parity, and no
ow control. The baud rate is changed in the “
Baudrate Mode ” (Holding Registers, Table 5, p. 7)
and by setting the baud rate mode (Table 8, p. 8).
By default, the Modbus slave address is 1, but the Signal Converter also reacts to broadcasted
messages on slave address 0. The “
Modbus Slave Address ” is changed in the Holding Registers
(Table 5, p. 7).
Per the Modbus standard, it is recommended to have a minimum 2ms pause between transactions
on the RS 485 line.
