ClearPath I/O provides a flexible high-level control int
ClearPath motor. There are no proprietary connectors, cables or sensors,
so you decide which input devices are right for your ClearPath application.
Once the inputs are wired up, you’ll be able to execute moves eith
changing the logical (on/off) state of the
waveform to the appropriate input, depe
you choose. See Interfacing To ClearPath I/O for input and output wiri
information.
Note: ClearPath inputs automatically change function based on mode of
operation selected. See the Operation Mode section for input function.
