SING THE
POWER4-HUB
The Power Hub (Teknic PN
POWER4-HUB
) is an optional ClearPath
accessory board that:
1.
Distributes DC bus power to as many as four ClearPath motors
per Power Hub, thus eliminating the need for special "power
chaining" cables.
2.
Delivers low voltage logic power backup to your ClearPath
motors. Logic power backup keeps the motors' electronics "alive"
even if DC bus power is dropped. This translates to uninterrupted
communication, continuous status monitoring, and retention of
encoder position.
Note: You will be unable to spin your motors when using only logic power
backup. Logic power backup will keep the motor electronics alive, but is
not designed to run motors.
