mAI085-MB Actuator Interface Technical Manual /1 1. Overview The mAI085-MB Actuator Interface is an interface between the control room operator and a network of Actuator Controllers. The interface is capable of controlling up to 100 actuators, either on a single network of up to 31 controllers or through a series of network drops utilizing RS485 repeaters. The interface allows for the pre-setting of setpoints for each of the actuators. An open key opens all of the actuators to t
