Referring still to Figure 18, flow chart 1800, which is illustrated as being included in step 1814, to be determined whether to arrived specific position.
The specific position may include in the order being previously received or control signal (such as D/C voltage value as DC input signals).
In some embodiments, it is determined whether arrived the position that specific position includes determining driving device 510.It can be used and come from one
Or the position signal of multiple position sensors determines the position of driving device 510.Position sensor can be that Hall effect passes

Table
Referring now to Figure 19, according to each embodiment, table 1900 is depicted when processing circuit 1218 is examined not comprising AC input
Survey expectation actuator operation when device and DC input detectors.Table 1900 represents the prior art, and wherein user must be based on causing
Dynamic device input wiring configures manually selection mode.Therefore, in row 1902 before four rows indicate when user's selection percentage input
Expectation actuator operation when pattern (being indicated in the table by " PROP "), and the four subsequent rows in row 1902 indicate
Expectation actuator operation when user selects floating input pattern (being indicated in the table by " FLT ").
The pattern that table depicts the user when the D/C voltage within the scope of 0-20 VDC is supplied to input 802 clockwise is selected
The influence selected.When user's selection percentage input pattern, the driving of actuator 500 to termination corresponding with the value of DC voltage signal
Position or the centre position between minimum and maximum rotation position.For example, being inputted to the OV D/C voltages for inputting 802 clockwise
The driving of actuator 500 can be made to the first final position, actuator 500 can be made by being inputted to the 20V D/C voltages for inputting 802 clockwise
Driving is to opposite final position, and being inputted to the 10V D/C voltages for inputting 802 clockwise can make the driving of actuator 500 to centre
Position.However, if user has selected the D/C voltage within the scope of floating input pattern and 0-20 VDC to be provided to clockwise
Input 802, actuator 500 is maintained at its current set point, without being moved to the position indicated by DC voltage signal.This row
For may be do not conform to need.
Referring now to Figure 20, according to some embodiments, table 2000 is depicted when processing circuit 1218 does not include AC input
Expectation actuator operation when detector and DC input detectors.Due to AC input detector 1224 and DC input detectors 1226
Presence make the user do not need selection percentage input pattern or floating input pattern, therefore row 1902 are deleted from table.Therefore,
Whenever the D/C voltage within the scope of 0-20 VDC be provided to clockwise input 8024, actuator 500 driving to and DC voltage signal
The corresponding final position of value or the centre position between minimum and maximum rotation position.It is defeated to the AC for inputting 802 clockwise
Enter the presence of signal or lacks so that actuator 500 drives towards final position or is maintained at its current location, as outlined above
As.Advantageously, this behavior allows user to provide AC voltage signals or DC voltage signal to input 804 clockwise.No matter
How is the type of the input signal provided, and actuator 500 all will be operated correctly stirs manual mode selection without user
Switch.
