3.5 Alternate Positioner Control Options
The Rackmount Controller allows for third party controls to be integrated into the system
through the RS485 input, the USB input, or the 8-pin terminal block connector. The RS485 and
USB inputs are both data-controlled inputs (see Section 2.7.1) and require a Pelco D compatible
device/GUI to control the positioner. The 8-pin terminal block connector is a series a digital
discrete inputs that can control the positioner through a customer supplied closed contact switch
(see Section 2.7.3).
A full list of Pelco D supported commands that are compatible with Will-Burt positioners are
detailed in the positioner's product manual. Additional Pelco D Auxiliary commands for
controlling the discrete outputs are detailed in Table 3-1.
