A-OK

Controls A-OK RS-485 electric curtain drives with open, close, and stop commands.

Overview

Template for A-OK RS-485 electric curtain and shutter drives. Sends raw serial commands over RS-485 to open, close, and stop motors. Supports individual motor addressing by ID and channel bitmask with XOR checksum validation.

Available commands

Open (Up)
Close (Down)
Stop

Use cases

Send open, close, and stop commands to A-OK curtain drives remotely from the ModbusCloud dashboard.
Schedule automated curtain or shutter movements based on time of day or external triggers.
Control multiple A-OK drives on different channels using individual motor IDs from a single gateway.
Use group addressing (ID 0x00) to open or close all curtain drives on a channel simultaneously.

Monitor command execution logs to verify that curtain drives respond to issued commands.

Installation

1Connect the A-OK RS-485 curtain drive to the ModbusCloud gateway (MCG or MLP series) using a twisted-pair RS-485 cable, observing correct A and B terminal polarity.
2Configure the RS-485 serial port on the gateway to 2400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity to match the A-OK drive settings.
3Use the A-OK configuration application to assign a unique motor ID and channel to each drive before connecting to the gateway.
4Import the A-OK RS-485 curtain drive template from the ModbusCloud template library into your project.
5Set the motor ID and channel bitmask in the template to match the values programmed into each physical drive.
6Test the open, close, and stop commands from the ModbusCloud dashboard to confirm each drive responds correctly.
