OVP – ODEN VALVE PROGRAM
The Oden Valve Program, OVP, can be used to change the default settings of torque, speed, working range etc.
However, it is not required for operating the actuator. If the default values are adequate for your application, it is
not necessary to use the software.
The actuator parameters can easily be changed by any of these two methods:
−
making the changes interactively in the program with the actuator connected to the PC
−
remotely on a separate PC by saving the changes in a data file and later loading them to the actuator when
it is connected to the PC
The software communicates with all Oden actuators, using the RS-232 interface. If your computer is lacking a
serial port, you need a standard converter from RS232 to USB. Latest version of OVP is available on our website.
7.1. OVP
versions
−
P30 with serial number 09xxxx and higher:

7.2.
To start using OVP
To start using the OVP software:
−
Install the program from the CD (or download from website)
−
Connect the RS232-computer cable between the analogue connection board and computer
−
Start the program “Oden Control OVP”
−
Select language
−
Select the communication port (only on version 4.1)
−
Select actuator type and connect actuator. (If the actuator does not respond, try another serial port)
7.3.
To change settings
All parameters in the main menu are adjustable. To change settings, make the adjustments and press the button
“Apply”. The actuator is now programmed with the new settings. (In older versions of OVP the actuator will
respond directly). If you wish to restore the parameter values to default, press the “Default”-button.
To save new settings in an external file, use the “Save data” button. The data is saved in a file which can be opened
later when the actuator is connected. Use the “Load” button to read from the saved file and reload the actuator with
new settings.
If the actuator does not respond to changes in settings, go back and try another serial port (only in version 4.1).
Connect the actuator again. If still no response, exit the program and start over again. If using a RS232/USB-
converter, please check the function.
7.4.
