    Been searching the web for some information about how to communicate with SCN5 Actuator.

    If I understand it correctly, simtools is telling the SCN5 actuator how to move via RS232->RS485.
    Is there any documents or forum threads on how the SCN is communicating/commanded.

    Grateful for any tips that you guys can give me.
