power supply connection enclosure (334), 3/4 NPT x 2.75 long nipple (313), 3/4 NPT
capped elbow (321), 3/4 NPT x 3.50 long nipple (312), and the 3/4 NPT union (320)
to the motor terminal box. Install 3/4 NPT plugs for the enclosures and 1/2 NPT plug
for the seal cover.
b) Optional connections for local control station:
Off the Switchpak pedestal, assemble the local control station (350), STEP/JOG
pushbutton (356), REMOTE/JOG/STEP 3-position switch (357), 3/4 NPT x 3 long
nipple (318), 3/4 NPT capped elbow (321), 3/4 NPT x 2.50 long nipple (317). Thread
into the seal enclosure (315) until the back of the control station is flush with the
Switchpak pedestal. Loosely install bolt (351), flatwashers (353), lockwashers (354),
and nut (352). Use spacer (358) if required. Install 3/4 NPT plug for the control
station.
c) Optional connections for digital display:
Off the Switchpak pedestal, loosely install the display bracket (506) with bolts (516),
lockwashers (520), flatwashers (522), and nuts (518). Connect digital display
enclosure (500) to seal enclosure (315) with 3/4 NPT x 2 long nipple. Loosely attach
display enclosure to bracket with bolts (508), lockwashers (512), flatwashers (514)
and nuts (510). Install positional display board assembly (502) to enclosure (500)
with standoff (504) and screws (505).

5. See the typical drawing for Switchpak SW20N assembly on page 15, and the typical
wiring diagrams on page 16 for DC supply and page 17 for AC supply. Install all wiring
according to the electrical diagram and local regulations.
6. Check shaft alignment of the electronic controller to speed reducer by rotating both
shafts independently, without binding occurring in the connector. Adjust if necessary.
7. With the Switchpak, the optional local control station and/or the digital display aligned on
the Switchpak pedestal, tighten all mounting bolts, nuts and setscrews.
8. Pour seal enclosure (315), or tag.
9. Tag power supply connection wires in enclosure (334), install plug (303) and tag as
power supply field connection point.
10.Install entry plugs (301, 302, 309) in the Switchpak SW20N enclosure (300) and tag as
communication field connection point.

III MULTIPORT ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER
A. INTRODUCTION
The Bettis Multiport Electronic Controller (MEC) consists of a motor, Switchpak model
SW20N, optional local control station and position display. It is a microcontroller based
system developed to control and monitor status of the Multiport Selector Valve. It provides
improved accuracy, eliminates mechanical adjustment of cams, and allows digital
communication with one or more Multiport Valves over a single cable.
B. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The MEC uses an optical absolute encoder to read the position of the valve into a 8 bit
microcontroller. The encoder resolution is 1024 readable positions within the 360b rotation
of the valve which results in the plug position being monitored to 0.35b accuracy. The
microcontroller controls the motor on/off relay, and the optional digital display, with input
from an external host device (computer, RTU or PLC) via a digital communication
connection. The inputs from the optional local control station (switch position and
pushbutton sense) are also connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller utilizes a
memory chip (EEPROM) which retains the home port setting, and ASCII text message for
the valve, even during power failure.

D. COMMUNICATIONS
1. ASCII BASED PROTOCOL/RS-232 CONNECTION
The standard communications protocol for the MEC uses a simple ASCII format which
connects the host device (computer, RTU or PLC) through jumper selectable
connection. Refer to board drawing on page 18 for the jumper location, jumper ‘A’ for
RS-232.
The external host device sends commands through a RS-232 cable to the electronic
controller at 1200 baud with 8 bits, no parity and one stop bit. The following is a list of
commands and responses. The CPU chip is labelled "STD".
NOTE: In the following table the '<cr>' is the ASCII character #13 (0x0d).
?<cr>Request status
apo<cr>Response where:
a = 'R' for REMOTE selector setting, or
'J' for JOG selector setting, or
'S' for STEP selector setting
p = position '1' to '8'
o = 'O' for 'on' position, or
'F' for 'off' position
!p<cr>Go to position where:
p = position '1' to '8'
a<cr>Response where:
a = 'R' for REMOTE selector setting, or
'J' for JOG selector setting, or
'S' for STEP selector setting
$pt<cr>Write valve position message where:
t<cr> p = position '1' to '8'
t = text message up to 16 characters
#<cr>Request status using 'text' response
t<cr>Response where:
t = text message for position of valve
@<cr>Request list of disabled positions
dddddddd<cr>Response where:
d =number of active position '1' to '8'
(if a position is disabled, a '-' will be in that
*h<cr>Set the Home position
a<cr>Response where:
a ='R' for REMOTE selector setting, or
'J' for JOG selector setting, or
'S' for STEP selector setting
Optional software is available for personal computers in DOS, Windows 3.11, or
Windows 95 versions.
