AUX. I/O CONFIG submenu 

 
The 

AUX. I/O CONFIG

 menu group contains parameters associated with additional I/O modules that can be added with 

specific options.

S I G N A L :

Auxiliary Digital 

Output Function 

  Sets functionality of the auxiliary digital outputs.  

O-C Cmd 

Digital outputs provide programmable auxiliary limit switch outputs based on values set in the 
“Calibrate Aux. DO Close” and “Calibrate Aux. DO Open” settings. This setting can only be used 
with proportional control applications since it requires a percentage value based on using a 
feedback potentiometer. 
DO1 = Programmed Aux Close position 
DO2 = Programmed Aux Open position 

Lim SW 

Digital outputs mirror the position limits of the switches connected to position switch header (P5). 
DO1 = Close position limit 
DO2 = Open position limit 

Motor Out 

Digital outputs mirror the motor outputs. When specified motor output is energized, the 
corresponding digital output is activated. 
DO1 = CW motor output  
DO2 = CCW motor output

Auxiliary Digital 

Input Function 

  Sets functionality of the auxiliary digital inputs.  

Disable 

Digital inputs are disabled.  

Local Ctrl 

Digital inputs are configured for local/remote inputs.  
DI1 = Local close switch input. When DI1 terminals are powered, the TMC4 commands a 0.0% 

signal and moves to programmed 0.0% position while DI3 detects local input. If operating 
as on/off actuator, it will drive to the close position limit switch. 

DI2 = Local open switch input. When DI2 terminals are powered, the TMC4 commands a 

100.0% signal and moves to programmed 0.0% position while DI3 detects local input. If 
operating as on/off actuator, it will drive to the open position limit switch. 

DI3 = Local/remote switch input. When DI3 terminals are powered, the TMC4 goes into local 

control mode and disables remote signals. It will only operate with signals input to DI1 and 
DI2 terminals.

Auxiliary Analog 

Output Function 

  Sets functionality of the auxiliary analog outputs.  

Feedback 

Provides auxiliary 0-20mA analog output independent of standard feedback signal based on 
calibrated auxiliary output zero and span. 

4mA 

Provides constant 4mA analog output based on calibrated auxiliary output zero and span. 

20mA 

Provides constant 20mA analog output based on calibrated auxiliary output zero and span.

Calibrate Aux. 

Analog Out Zero 

  Sets auxiliary analog output signal zero digital count value. When selected, use [PREVIOUS ▲] or [NEXT ▼] to 

adjust feedback until desired value is measured. Note, this feedback will correspond to the programmed 
“Calibrate Close Pos” position in the 

POSITION CONFIG 

menu. If command is set for reverse action, set this 

value accordingly. 
 
Value is scaled between 12 bit count of 0 and 4095 for the selected command type range.

to adjust feedback until desired value is measured. Note, this feedback will correspond to the programmed 
“Calibrate Open Pos” position in the 

POSITION CONFIG 

menu. If command is set for reverse action, set this 

value accordingly. 
 
Value is scaled between 12 bit count of 0 and 4095 for the selected command type range.
