Section 1: Introduction
July 2019
This document covers the current Digital Futronic firmware version
(Ver 4.6 released July 2019) and also references previous versions where applicable.
Section 1: Introduction
The Digital Futronic module uses the latest integrated microcontroller technology to
enable one electronics module to perform valve actuator modulating and positioning
control from analog control signals. The control module uses Bettis’s M2CP TBM01
termination panel for interface of all analog control types.
The Digital Futronic module converts 4-20mA analog input to digital for processing and
from digital to 4-20mA analog output for position feedback. The Digital Futronic module
controls four Bettis motor control starter types.
1. Futronic II Electro-mechanical AC motor starter
2. Futronic III SCR H-Bridge Solid-state DC motor starter (Powered by 115VAC, 1-Ph)
3. Futronic IV Triac Solid-state (SSR) AC motor starter
4. Futro nic VII MOSFET Solid-state pure DC motor starter (Powered by 24VDC or 48VDC)

CAUTION
When downloading rmware to the Digital Futronic circuit board using the Programming
Header device, part number VA37696 (See Figure 1 below) or reading EEPROM,
the following conditions are required to validate rmware download.
1. Actuator is NOT fully closed (LSC is not active)
2. Actuator is NOT fully open (LSO is not active)
3. Selector Switch must be in OFF Position
4. DIP 1 is OFF
5. DIP 2 is OFF
6. DIP 3 is OFF
7. DIP 4 is OFF
When calibrating and/or conguring the Digital Futronic circuit board, the following
conditions are required to validate the conguration calibration process.
1. Programming Header device must NOT be connected to the board
2. Selector switch must NOT be in REMOTE position.

Section 2: Features and Specications
Digital microcontroller adapts to any actuator and valve size, speed/stroke-time, process
pressure, etc. by automatically tuning controls to obtain maximum accuracy without any
user adjustments for deadband, delay time, etc.
Automatic calibration of position input to valve travel limits when selector switch is position
at LOCAL MODE.
Built-in protection for motor and motor controls.
DC motor speed control for Futronic III and Futronic VII.
Easy setup and calibration to user’s external analog control signal input and analog feedback
output. All setup and calibration adjustments by on-board DIP switches and two miniature
push buttons. When selector switch is at OFF position only.
LED indicators for normal/fault operating conditions, setup mode, loss of analog signal, and
solid-state motor control output.
Isolated Analog Input: 4-20mA with 12-bit (.025%) resolution (calibration range of 0-24mA).
210 Ohms input resistance. Operates from 10V to 32V loop supply. Allows up to 750 Ohms
loop resistance at 24V.

Isolated Analog Output: 4-20mA with 16-bit (.0015%) resolution (calibration range of
0-24mA). Drive loop resistance up to 750 Ohms. True current source with internal 24VDC
power supply. No external power source required to power loop. Internal automatic resetting
fuse for 24VDC power supply.
Isolation dielectric strength: 2500V AC for 1 Minute (Input to output and I/O to ground).
Inverted Analog I/O Option: where 20mA = close valve position and 4mA = open valve position.
Go To Default Position Option: On loss of control signal, user selected default valve position
anywhere between 0 and 100%.

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Section 3: Installation and Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the actuator for wiring details and options
supplied with the system. Figure 2 below is generic and provided primarily for wiring
4-20mA analog input and output signals. Refer to Figure 2 for proper wiring of analog I/O
and associated polarities relative to external equipment and power supplies.
Use the following rules when wiring analog I/O signals.
1. Route analog I/O cables into actuator enclosure through separate conduit entries
from power wiring.
2. Always use twisted-pair instrumentation cable for wiring 4-20mA analog input and
output signals.
3. Use shielded cable when analog signals are being installed in or routed through
high noise areas.
4. If shielded cable is used, earth ground the shield by connecting only one end of the
shield to earth.
5. Instruments or control equipment must source current to the analog input of the
Digital Futronic.
6. Remote current source to analog input must have own power source, or an
external supply is required.
7. Do not connect an external power source to the 4-20mA analog output of the
Digital Futronic module.
8. The Digital Futronic module contains its own internal 24VDC power supply for the
4-20mA output and sources current to external instruments or control equipment.

Section 4: Module Setup and Calibration
DIP Switch SW3 has 6 switches designated as S1-S6 for calibration and mode selection as
summarized below. There are two miniature push buttons labeled UP and DOWN. Refer
to Figure 3 for location of DIP switches and push buttons. Switches S1-S4 are used for
setup and calibration and switches S5-S6 are used for mode selection. If any one or more
of switches S1, S2, S3, S4 are on, the actuator is in setup mode. The actuator returns to
normal operating mode when all three switches S1-S3 are turned off. When changing from
setup mode to normal operating mode, do not turn off power to the actuator for at least
120 seconds to allow the controller to store the new setup values to EEPROM nonvolatile
memory. Setup and normal operating modes are designated by LED 1 as dened below.
