actuator drive current at temperature, T, can be calculated
using the equation:
Indicator
Indicators tell the system which position the switch is in.
Other names for indicators are telemetry contacts or tellback
circuit. Indicators are usually a set of internally mounted DC
contacts linked to the actuator. They can be wired to digital
input lines, status lights, or interlocks. Unless otherwise
specified, the maximum indicator contact rating is 30 Vdc,
50 mA, or 1.5 Watts into a resistive load.
