Thank you for choosing the ClearPath-SC all-in-one servo system with full
software control. ClearPath-SC gives you the highest level of flexibility and
control over your motors and machine application software, because you
write it.
In the ClearPath-SC development model, Teknic provides you with the
sFoundation, an advanced motion software library. ClearPath-SC is
compatible with C++ for Windows/Linux and .NET languages (such as
C#) for Windows. You write the machine application using development
tools like Microsoft Visual Studio.
The included ClearView configuration and setup software, allows
non-software personnel to tune, test, and exercise the servos right on the
machine without coding a single line.

motors for your project. The ClearPath-MC family features an
assortment of preprogrammed operating modes, simplified digital
controls, and requires no coding. The ClearPath-SD family accepts
standard step and direction or quadrature AB control signals from any
compatible controller, indexer, or similar device.
