Soft Inputs and LEDs
Emulate hardware inputs. For
use only when Soft Controls
are active.
Caution: motor
may spin when enabled.
Displays commanded
torque (when using
Soft Controls).
Displays commanded
torque (when using
hard controls).
Hardware Input Status LEDs
Light = Input asserted (on)
Dark = Input de-asserted (off)
PWM Meter -
Displays
duty cycle of PWM source
connected to Input B.
PWM Soft Slider
Emulates PWM
input (for use with
Soft Controls).
Check to turn on Soft
Controls. Override cannot
be activated when ClearPath
is hardware enabled.
Enter deadband setting
(optional). See text for
description of deadband.

Torque Limit
Setup dialog.
Displays HLFB

Enter max. desired
motor torque (i.e.,
full scale torque).
Enter max. speed limit
(ClearPath will shut down if
this speed limit is exceeded.)
Enter value to specify how long
ClearPath can spin at
Max Speed
before shutting down.
Check box to invert how PWM duty
cycle is measured by ClearPath.

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).
