  • 24-75VDC 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:
  • 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-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.

  • Use ClearPath-SC's diagnostic port to monitor motor performance without disturbing the operation of your application code. Using the diagnostic port is optional, but it can be helpful when troubleshooting and measuring performance.
  • To further eliminate a potential source of dirt/liquid ingress, Teknic developed an innovative Infrared (IR) bi-directional serial communications channel for IP67/66K ClearPath Motors.
  • To use this optional Diagnostics channel, you'll need a Windows PC running Teknic's ClearView software, the Teknic IR Communications Board that is magnetically coupled to the rear of the motor, and a USB cable.
  • This USB cable can be purchased from Teknic or third parties. The USB cable should be a "fully rated" cable (shielded and designed for high-speed communication) with Type-A to Type-C connectors.
  • Teknic sells optional IR Communication Port covers in packs of 5.
