ODE SUMMARY
Connect a digital variable frequency waveform from your PLC or other
device, and ClearPath will produce torque that is proportional to the
frequency of the waveform.

Assert the Enable Input to energize the motor. Control torque by applying
a variable frequency pulse train to Input B. Pulse frequency is
proportional to commanded torque. Direction in which torque is applied
(CW/CCW) is controlled by the state of Input A. See Inputs and Timing
table below.

Disable time = 10 mS
(Frequency Control): Inputs and Timin
•
Input frequency range: 20 Hz to 500 kHz.
•
If the frequency signal is off for 50mS or more the input is
considered off. This is interpreted by ClearPath as a zero-torq
command.
