6.2.4 Settings
It is possible to use a combination of external 4-20mA servomotors and Autoflame servomotor, for example,
channel 1 can be set as an Autoflame servomotor and channel 2 can be set as an external 4-20mA
servomotor. The degree of accuracy when using an external 4-20mA servomotor via a Universal IO module
is 0.5°, in comparison to the accuracy level of 0.1° which is possible on the Autoflame servomotor. The
control method for each servomotor can be set by the following options:
Channel 1 Servo Control Method
Channel 2 Servo Control Method
Channel 3 Servo Control Method
Channel 4 Servo Control Method
Draught Servo Control Method
The IO module must be configured for ID 1. Please refer to the Autoflame PC Software Guide for more
information. The MM will automatically configure all other settings in the IO module unit required for
operation. Please note that mixed IO software version 3.01 or above is required.

Figure 6.2.5: Commissioning External 4-20mA Servomotor
The commission procedure for the Mk8 MM with external 4-20mA servomotors follows the normal
commissioning procedure, with the positions displayed in angular degrees. In run mode, the servomotor
screens show the same information as that displayed for Autoflame servomotors.
