Explanation: Actuator is a broad description of any device that embodies moving an object between two fixed limits, such as raising or lowering an outboard engine assembly. In the context of this PGN, the word "Device" refers to the object being moved. In the case of multiple Actuators per controller, the Actuator Identifier field specifies which Actuator the PGN message is intended for, and all following data fields refer only to that Actuator. This PGN supports manufacturer calibrated systems and retrofit systems where it is impractical for the installer to enter the Maximum Travel distance of the device.
