Enable the motor by clicking the Enable check box. This immediately energizes the
motor coils.
When a ClearPath is enabled:
The Status changes from Disabled (yellow) to SW Enabled (green). Note: SW
Enabled stands for “Software Enabled”.
The motor shaft will now actively servo to maintain its present position.
Enabling ClearPath using Software Controls
Spin the motor. Click the right arrow on the Soft Knob control to spin counter-
clockwise. Each click increases motor speed by 100 RPM based on the Velocity
Resolution setting. Click the left arrow and you’ll see motor speed will decrease by
100 RPM (technically it’s increasing speed in the opposite direction) until you’re back
to zero speed. Keep clicking the left arrow and the motor shaft will soon be spinning
clockwise, increasing in speed by 100 RPM per click. Look at the Velocity Display to
see how fast you’re spinning at any time.
Setting
Means
Max CW Velocity=1000 RPM The motor is limited to 1000 RPM in the
clockwise direction.
Max CCW Velocity=2000 RPM The motor is limited to 2000 RPM in the
counter-clockwise direction.
