The Sonesse 30 RS485 tubular drives can be controlled via their direct communication with the RS-485 interface. The drive can be connected to any communication channel of the Foxtrot system with the RS-485 interface, without the need for any additional converter or control module. The function block of the system makes it possible to control the position of the motor (commands to open, close and stop it), reverse reading of the engine status (reaching the end position).

 

The motor on the side intended to be mounted on the house construction has three connectors. The 4-pin connector is designated for the initial setup (the end position, etc.).The 3-pin connector has a terminated communication interface RS-485, and 24 VDC supply voltage is connected to the 2-pin connector.
