Motor Connectors (M-0, M-1, M-2, M-3)
ClearLink has four multi-function motor connectors that each have three (3)
specialized outputs and one (1) specialized input. They are plug and play
compatible with Teknic ClearPath motors, but are compatible with many third
party servo/stepper drives.
ClearLink can be programmed to send either of the following types of control
signals to the motor connectors:
•
Step & Direction
signals to ClearPath-SD series motors or
compatible third-party servo or step motor drives.
OR
•
Digital control signals
to ClearPath-MC series (Motion Controller)
motors.
IMPORTANT:
Only one type of motor control method can be used on any
given ClearLink Controller:
either Step and Direction or Digital Control
signals, but not both types on the same ClearLink unit.
