Group 42 Long Stroke Linear Actuators
Control Options
What is a Control Option?
Group 42 Beck drives have a model number 42-100. This drive has the
capability to be equipped with different electronics combinations, which
are called control options. The control option number will replace the
last zero in the model number when specifying a drive model and
control option. For example, a model 42-100 drive that is setup to use
the control option 9 electronics would be considered a model 42-109
drive. A basic description for each control option is provided below. For
details on the electronics components, please visit the Group 42
Electronics section.

CONTROL OPTION 9 - The standard modulating drive offering is the
control option 9. Control option 9 units are equipped with the Beck DCM (Digital Control Module) and CPS (Contactless Position Sensor). The
option 9 drives may be controlled with a 4-20 mA or 1-5Vdc signal and
have an integral 4-20 mA position feedback signal. The microprocessor
based DCM provides a multitude of flexibility for setup, calibration, and
diagnostics including HART communications, on-board pushbuttons for
calibrating stroke, on-board diagnostic status, stall protection circuitry,
and status alerts. Typical Arrangement
CONTROL OPTION 7 - The control option 7 drive is a modulating unit
that is offered with time-proven analog electronics. The option 7 drive is
equipped with the analog electronics control end and a potentiometer to
derive an internal position reading.The standard control option 7 units
may be controlled by a 4-20 mA signal, and they provide a 4-20 mA
position feedback signal. For added flexibility, a 2-wire or 4-wire
feedback is available on the 42-107 drive. Typical Arrangement
CONTROL OPTION 5 - The control option 5 drive is a modulating unit
controlled with 120 VAC direct to the motor. A film potentiometer is
standard utilized for generation of a 4-20 mA position feedback signal.
For added flexibility, a 2-wire or 4-wire feedback is available on the 42-
105 drive. Typical Arrangement
CONTROL OPTION 3 - The control option 3 drive is an open/close unit
controlled with 120 VAC direct to the motor. When the drive hits the
limit switch at either of the two end-of-travel positions, power is cut to
the motor. Typical Arrangement
