ClearPath I/O allows the user to send and receive control signals from a
ClearPath motor. There are a total of three digital inputs and one d
output accessible through the 8-position Molex MiniFit Jr. connector.

logic levels and pulses from a wide variety of signal
sources and devices including PLCs, microcontrollers, and even simple
switch and battery rigs (with no external resistors required). They are
optically isolated, digitally filtered, current limited, and reverse polarity
protected for robust, long-term performance.

5-24VDC just means ClearPath will work with logic signal sources where logic “low” is 0VDC
while logic “high” can be any value between 5VDC and 24VDC inclusive.
