Positioning Resolution
—also called
"Commandable Resolution"
—is
the ClearPath motor's working encoder resolution. This is the encoder
resolution you specified when ordering your ClearPath. The two available
Positioning Resolution options for NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 ClearPaths
are:
•
800 counts per revolution
for motor part numbers ending
in
-Rxx.
•
6400 counts per revolution
for motor part numbers
ending with
-Exx
.

Note: This topic applies to Pulse Burst Positioning
and
Step and
Direction modes only.
The
Input Resolution
setting lets you vary the ratio of step pulses
received by the motor to encoder counts moved. It is set via a drop down
menu in the mode settings of
Pulse Burst Positioning
and
Step and
Direction
modes.
Feature Note:
Enhanced ClearPath motors (part# ends in -Exx) allow
the user to set the Input Resolution (steps per revolution) to
any whole
number value greater than or equal to 200

Case #1. You want one step pulse to command one count
of motion (default).
One count per step is the most common
Input Resolution setting.
Using the above setting, 800 step pulses will make this [800 count]
motor rotate one full revolution.
Tip:
To set a 1:1 (1 step = 1 count) relationship, set the Input
Resolution to the same value as your motor's Positioning
Resolution. Example: For an 800 count per revolution motor (as
in the figure above) set Input Resolution to 800 pulses per rev.
For a 6400 count per rev motor, set it to 6400 pulses per
revolution.
