DC Power Supply & AC Power Cable

  • 24-75VDC is required for ClearPath bus power. Teknic typically recommends 75VDC for maximum motor power.
  • ClearPath can run from supplies up to 90VDC, but will protectively shutdown at 94VDC, so a 75VDC supply gives you a little more design margin.
  • The Teknic IPC-3 and IPC-5 power supplies are designed specifically for the unique requirements of servo control- they smoothly handle regenerated energy and large peak loads.
  • One IPC power supply can typically power 2-6 ClearPath motors (application dependent - see FAQs and/or Accessories video).

DC Power Cable

  • This cable connects the DC power supply (or power hub) to the ClearPath motor.
  • The DC Power cable requires a 4-pin molex connector on the ClearPath end and a 2-pin Sabre connector on the DC power end (if using Teknic IPC or power hub).
  • The cable can be purchased from Teknic or can be easily made with the proper materials and crimp tools.

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).

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.

4-axis Power Hub & Cables (Optional)

  • This 4-axis power hub distributes DC bus power to 1-4 ClearPath motors.
  • The hub requires 24VDC (in addition to motor bus power).
  • The power hub also provides logic backup power. If bus power is removed (e.g., upon an E-stop), ClearPath will still communicate and monitor its position. So, upon restoring bus power, ClearPath can automatically return to its correct commanded position.

DC Power Distribution Hub
Part Number: POWER4-HUB

Connectors: Bus: 2-pin Sabre; Logic: 2-pin Molex MiniFit Jr.
Dimensions, in (mm): 3.06 x 4.12 (77.7 x 104.7)
Certifications: UL, CE

Distributes DC bus power to up to four ClearPath motors. Requires 24 volt power to operate (in addition to bus power). The Power Hub also acts as logic power backup for the motors, i.e., the motors will still retain encoder position even with bus power removed (for safety during an E-stop, for example). Upon restoration of bus power, the motors will automatically return to their previous positions, if desired.
