2 Cable connection In order to connect your actuator to the PC tool you will need two separate cables: 1 USB2LIN cable. 1 interface cable . Start by connecting the two cables. Please note that the cables must be purchased separately from the actuator. 3 Power supply LA14 LA33/LA36/LA37 LA25 Before connecting the power supply: Connect the interface cable to the actuator. 12V or 24V . and plug in the USB2LIN cable to your computer or laptop. Afterwards, please open the BusLink program on your computer. The green diode on the USB2LIN will now flash , but please be aware that the BusLink program is still in a disconnected mode. Finally, connect your power supply to the actuator. A few seconds will pass before the connection to BusLink is established and the actuator is ready for configuration. When changing the actuator’s signal cable with the BusLink cable, it is important that this is done carefully in order to protect 4 the plugs and pins. Please make sure that the plug is in the right place and fully pressed in before mounting the cable lid.

Configure the IC actuator with BusLink 2 software The actuator can be controlled from within the software using the buttons at the bottom of the screen. These controls are available at all times. The “Run In/Out” buttons will run the actuator to the limits, real or virtual. The step controls will move the actuator in selectable increments. The “Run To” function will move the actuator to an arbitrary specified position. The actuator’s current status is shown on the right. These values are actively recorded in a graph that will be explained later in this user guide. Configure: Once connected, you will be able to click on one of three tabs in the top left. If you select CONFIGURE, this screen will appear: The overview will give you read-only information about the currently implemented parameters that can be edited. Each parameter can be modified by clicking on the menu item to the left. Any changes made will be shown in the “Unapplied Changes” box and will remain until you “Apply” the changes to the actuator. 5
