Group 14 Linear Valve Actuators
Control Options
What is a Control Option?
Group 14 Beck drives have a model number 14-100 or 14-200. These
drives have 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 14-100 drive that
is setup to use the control option 9 electronics would be considered a
model 14-109 drive. A basic description for each control option is
provided below. For details on the electronics components, please visit
the Group 14 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 8 - The control option 8 drive is also a modulating unit,
but is equipped with an ESR (Electronic Signal Receiver) and CPS (Contactless Position Sensor). The time-proven analog ESR control board
provides the same excellent control that a control option 9 drive offers, but
lacks many added setup, operating, and diagnostic features afforded by the DCM. While the standard control option 8 units may be controlled by a 4-20
mA signal with an integral 4-20 mA position feedback, less common signaling options are availble upon request. Typical Arrangement
CONTROL OPTION 7 - The control option 7 drive is a modulating unit that
is offered without an external position feedback signal. The option 7 drive is
equipped with the ESR (Electronic Signal Receiver) for control and a 1000-
ohm film potentiometer to derive an internal position reading. While the
standard control option 7 units may be controlled by a 4-20 mA signal, less
common signaling options are availble upon request. An optional auxiliary
pot for external position feedback is also available upon request. Typical Arrangement
CONTROL OPTION 6 - The control option 6 drive is a modulating unit
controlled with 120 VAC direct to the motor. A CPS (Contactless Position
Sensor) provides a 4-20 mA position feedback signal; less common signaling options are availble upon request. Typical Arrangement
CONTROL OPTION 5 - The control option 5 drive is a modulating unit
controlled with 120 VAC direct to the motor. A 1000-ohm film potentiometer
is standard to derive an external position reading. An optional auxiliary pot
for external position feedback is also available upon request. Typical Arrangement
CONTROL OPTION 4 - The control option 4 drive is a Multi-position unit
controlled with 120 VAC direct to the motor through a series of camoperated
limit switches. The drive may be factory configured for three to six
distinct positions anywhere in travel including two end-of-travel positions. 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
