Meridian is an integrated motion controller and digital servo drive that is capable of controlling servos, linear motors, and steppers. Benefits include:
Reduce machine vibration and increase throughput with g-Stop™ anti-resonance
Use the Accelerated Prototyping System™ to diagnose machine performance, reduce development time, and get your machine to market faster
Improve stepper motor smoothness and increase power output with Meridian's vector sinewave commutation
Meridian's "sFoundation" is a source code library that provides the majority of the motion functions you'll need to get your system up and running quickly
Spring applied power-off (or fail-safe) brakes are used in applications that require the axis to stay in position, even if the machine loses power or is turned off (this is common for vertical applications or when additional safety measures are required).
Front mount compatible with any NEMA 23 or NEMA 34 motor frames
24VDC input for easy actuation
NEMA 23 pricing starting at $219 and NEMA 34 at $296
The Amazon™ Intelligent Power Center (IPC) is designed and built specifically for motion control applications.
High output capacitance and built-in regen control system prevents over-voltage shutdowns and the need for external regeneration control and load resistor
High peak power drastically reduces power supply droop during motor acceleration
Teknic continues to advance the state-of-the-art in servo motion control. As a result, new products are engineered to provide greater performance, reliability, and value. Products that are eventually displaced by the introduction of new technology are not simply discontinued—the components continue to be manufactured and supported for as long as parts are reasonably available.
When products are forced into end of life, Teknic's factory engineers work with customers who desire to extend the life of their legacy machines with newer servo components. Some of Teknic's legacy products were available for nearly 30 years before they moved to end of life status.
Serial Port: RS-232 communications with hardware flow control. Has an activity LED and 5 volt power pin for the remote device if needed
See the I/O state and exception status at a glance on dedicated LEDs. Faster software development and easier troubleshooting.
Add up to 64 more digital I/O points in 8-point increments by daisy-chaining CCIO-8 expansion modules.
All I/O points are also available on a header connector
All I/O points are compatible with 24V industrial sensors and actuators. Power with 24 VDC.
Directly control in-line brakes and other high current outputs up to 750 mA RMS
Heavy duty digital outputs can directly drive resistive or inductive loads up to 9 watts, so you can drive contactors, pneumatic or liquid valves, guard locks, brakes, LED lamps, etc. without separate relays.
Every I/O point has a separate terminal block, with its own power and ground pins. This eliminates running multiple wires to one connector terminal or creating specially made breakout boards.
Rugged polycarbonate and aluminum case Small: 3.5" x 5" x 1"
Control up to 4 axes of stepper and/or servo motors. ClearPath-SD and -MC* integrated servos are "plug and play" using standard cables. Note: Only certain operational modes in the MC series are recommended when using ClearLink (see below for more information).
Multiple Mounting Methods: Panel mount and DIN Rail option to mount in-panel or on machine.
Protected against overloads (voltage, current and thermal), ESD, inductive flyback, reversed power polarity, and most wiring errors.

ClearPath-SD
Position & Velocity
With ClearLink's step & direction outputs, you can control ClearPath-SD servo systems to achieve high performance in a low-cost, compact package. This combination will provide complete control over the motion profile including position, velocity, and acceleration.
ClearPath-SD is also an easy upgrade over stepper motors giving you smoother, quieter, and more precise closed-loop motion.
ClearPath-MC
Torque Control
ClearLink combined with ClearPath-MC is the easiest way to achieve high-performance torque control for applications using an Ethernet/IP master PLC that have no precise positioning requirements (e.g. web tensioning applications).
The MC motors can be used in one of two operational modes with the ClearLink controller for torque control. Follow Digital Torque Command allows you to control the torque output of the motor (no control over position or velocity) while the Follow Digital Velocity Command w/ Variable Torque mode allows you to control the active torque limit and the commanded velocity at any given time.
Control 4 axes of motion with each ClearLink
Flexible, software-configurable I/O
13 software-configurable I/O points. Add up to 64 more digital inputs/outputs with 8-point I/O expansion modules (CCIO-8).
Four axes of motion control. Compatible with step & direction servo or stepper drives. Plug & play with ClearPath servos.
Separate ground and power pins for all I/O points. Easy point-to-point wiring.
Dedicated LED for every I/O point indicates state and exception status.

Digital I/O Expansion, 8-point Part Number: CCIO-8
Digital I/O expansion module for ClearCore. Eight 24 VDC I/O points - all software-configurable as digital inputs or outputs. Up to 8 CCIO-8 modules can be daisy-chained to one ClearCore (uses one serial com port on ClearCore). Aluminum mounting plate accepts DIN rail mounting kit (p/n DIN-MNT).
Each CCIO-8 requires a Cat5 Ethernet patch cable (e.g., p/n CABLE-CAT-120).
Terminal block plugs are not included; order p/n CC-3TERM-PLUG-10PC (10-pack).
Quantities up to 5 generally ship within 3 business days.
Easily connect 6 signals from a differential quadrature encoder (A+ A~, B+ B~ and optionally I+ I~) to ClearCore using only 3 digital inputs (DI-6, 7 and 8), without wiring to separate terminal blocks. Connect your encoder to the adapter's DB-9 input and connect the adapter to ClearCore with a standard ribbon cable (20-pin, 0.1" pitch) for a simple noise-free setup. The adapter provides overload-protected +5 volts for the encoder, and "bad sequence" detection warns of faulty or dirty encoders.
The "Add to Cart" button will add one of each component (adapter and cable) unless you edit the quantities. Type "0" for the quantity of any component you don't want to add to your cart.
