USB Setup Cable

  • This USB cable connects the ClearPath motor to a Windows PC for initial setup using the ClearPath MSP (Motor Setup Program) software.
  • After initial setup, the cable is disconnected for application operation (but can also be used for diagnostic purposes).
  • The connectors are USB A to B.
  • This cable can be purchased from Teknic or third parties. If you use a third-party cable, make sure to use a “fully rated” cable (shielded and designed for high-speed data communication).

USB Cable

USB Cable, for Diagnostics, or SC4-HUB to PC
Part Number: CPM-CABLE-USB-120AB
Connectors: USB 2.0 A to B
Length: 3.05 m (10 ft)

Cable is used: 1) to use the diagnostic USB port on integral hp (AC input) ClearPath motors; or 2) to connect your host PC to a ClearPath-SC communication hub (e.g SC4-HUB). NOTE: This cable cannot be used with the diagnostic (rear USB) port of fractional hp (DC input) ClearPath models; for those, use the CPM-CABLE-USB-120 which has a micro-B connector.

RES-225 & BLOWER-1P230V (optional)

  • For applications that cause significant regenerated energy (e.g., vertical axes, and inertial loads decelerated quickly), the regenerated energy dissipation unit can be used to monitor and manage your motor's regenerative energy. It provides up to 250W of continuous energy dissipation.
  • The blower kit (AC powered fan and shroud) provides a significant increase in continuous torque for certain AC-input ClearPath motors. (ClearPath part numbers with “_Fan” show the increased capability.)

Input Power: Single-phase 190-230 VAC
Weight: 2.0 lbs

This blower kit (AC powered fan and shroud) provides a significant increase in continuous torque for certain AC-input (integral hp) ClearPath motors. Motor part numbers shown with a “_fan” after them show the increased specifications using this blower. Note that this kit is not IP rated for dust or liquid protection, and needs AC wiring separate from the motor. For wiring and installation instructions, refer to the user manual: AC Input, Integral Horsepower ClearPath Motors.

Using Analog Control Signals?

  • ClearPath-MC can be controlled with 0-10V or 4-20 mA analog signals by using ASU-FR510 Analog Send Unit (A/D converter).

Analog Send Unit

Analog Send Unit
Part Number: ASU-FR510
Connectors: Molex Mini-fit (8, 4 and 2-pin)

DC Input Power: 15-30 VDC

PDF Icon User Manual

Need to use analog control signals? For maximum noise immunity, ClearPath-MC natively uses digital control signals, but this “Analog Send Unit” (ASU) allows you to use analog control signals (0-10V or 4-20mA) while minimizing associated noise issues. The ASU converts analog signals to digital signals compatible with ClearPath-MC, so you won’t have noise corruption. Just locate the ASU as close as possible to your analog source and send the accurately converted digital signals to ClearPath’s optically isolated inputs for high-fidelity control.
