Caution: When ClearPath is in “Spin on Power-Up” mode, it can spin as
soon as main DC power is applied. All inputs, including the Enable Input,
are ignored in this mode.
Enable-With-Trigger function. In some ClearPath modes, the Enable
input also serves as a trigger input. In these modes, briefly pulsing the
Enable input low (and immediately back high again) causes ClearPath to
change direction of
Inputs A and B are the main user control inputs. Their function changes
automatically based on the ClearPath mode of operation you choose. In
some modes simply apply a PWM signal to control velocity or torque. In
other modes, set the inputs high or low to move a preset distance, ramp to
a target velocity, change direction, or move until a sensor trips. For
ClearPath SD models, apply standard step and direction signals to the
inputs to create your own motion profiles.
perform a predefined action, such as execute a move,
rotation, or change velocity. See individual operation modes for trigger

Tip: All Input functions for a given mode are defined in a table located at
the beginning of each operational mode section.
Engineer’s Note: In all ClearPath motors, the logic-level signals are
electrically isolated from the DC power input and motor output circuits, as
well as from the motor case. This design feature ensures that control
signals will not be compromised due to induced currents from the motor,
power supply, or PWM return path.
