  • 12-75VDC is required for ClearPath bus power. Teknic recommends 75VDC for maximum motor power.
  • ClearPath can run from power supplies up to 90VDC, but will protectively shutdown at 94VDC, so a 75VDC power supply gives you better design margin in this regard.
  • The Teknic IPC-3 and IPC-5 power supplies are designed specifically for the unique requirements of servo control- they smoothly handle regenerated energy and large peak loads. See our article for further technical details & architectural comparisons.
  • One IPC power supply can typically power up to 6 ClearPath motors (application dependent - see FAQs and/or Accessories video).

Logic Power Backup Shown:
  • NEMA17 ClearPath-EC motors have dedicated inputs for both main motor and logic power. During normal operation, DC power needs to be present on both power inputs.
  • The POWER4-STRIP-S is recommended when logic backup power is not needed. This board automatically jumpers and routes power to the main bus and logic pins for up to 4 motor axes.

Logic Power Backup Shown:
  • IP67/66K ClearPath motors have dedicated inputs for both main motor and logic power. During normal operation, DC power needs to be present on both power inputs.
  • The POWER4-HUB-S provides power distribution of main bus and logic power up to four (4) motor axes. With logic power backup, if bus power is removed (e.g., upon an E-stop), ClearPath will still communicate and monitor its position. So, upon restoring main bus power, ClearPath can automatically return to its correct commanded position eliminating the need to rehome. This option requires a separate logic power supply, typically 12-24 VDC.

DC Power Cable
  • This cable connects either Power Distribution Board (POWER4-HUB-S or POWER4-STRIP-S) to the ClearPath motor.
  • The DC Power cables requires a 4-pin, Molex Micro-Fit connector on the ClearPath end and a 4-pin Molex Mini-Fit Jr. connector on the Power Distribution Board end.
  • The cables below can be purchased directly from Teknic, or they can be easily made with the proper materials and crimp tools.

  • The EtherCAT Network cables connect ClearPath's communication ports to the user's EtherCAT network, and to other ClearPath motors.
  • These CAT5 cables have either a Micro-Fit+ connector on both sides, or a Micro-Fit+ connector on one side, and an RJ-45 connector on the other to make it easy to plug into your network.

ClearPath I/O
Need help purchasing the right accessories? Click to fill out the Contact Form or call Teknic to speak to an engineer about your application
  • ClearPath-EC motors have two individually configurable, general-purpose Inputs or Outputs. These two I/O points operate at nominally 12-24VDC, and are powered by the motor's Logic input power.
  • Use the I/O cable to wire I/O (e.g., limit switches, home sensors, touch probes, or a brake) to your ClearPath motor through the IO port.
