axis from stopping when it should, a deadband can be specified
so that any duty cycle that falls /- the deadband amount
from 50% is considered a command for zero speed.
•
If the PWM signal is off for 50mS or more the PWM input is
considered off. This is interpreted by ClearPath as a zero-
velocity command.
•
Disable time = 10 mS
•
For applications with the highest sensitivity to velocity
accuracy, consider using frequency input control (described
later in this manual).

Torque Override Indicator
When lit, the main torque limit is being
overridden by a secondary, user-set torque
limit (e.g., when an axis is homing, the main
torque limit may be overridden by the
separate homing torque limit setting).
Check box to invert how PWM duty
cycle is measured by ClearPath.
