15-6030 - Teknic ClearPath SDSK Programming Cable

Precision Tuning for ClearPath Motors

The 15-6030 USB Cable is an essential tool for any integrator, engineer, or hobbyist working with Teknic ClearPath SDSK series motors. These advanced brushless servo systems require a stable digital connection to a Windows-based PC to unlock their full potential. This cable serves as the physical bridge between your computer's USB port and the data port on the ClearPath motor, allowing you to utilize the powerful ClearPath MSP (Motor Setup Program) software.

Unlike generic off-the-shelf USB cables, this cable is selected to ensure data integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments. When configuring a servo motor, a dropped packet or signal interference can interrupt the auto-tuning process or fail a firmware update. Using the correct 15-6030 cable guarantees that your communication remains stable while you define acceleration limits, set torque parameters, and configure step/direction inputs.

Streamlined Setup Process

Setting up an SDSK motor involves defining its operational mode—whether it is following step and direction signals from a CNC controller or running pre-programmed motion profiles. This cable allows you to:

• Auto-Tune: Automatically calibrate the motor to the connected mechanical load for smooth motion.


• Monitor Performance: View real-time graphs of torque, error, and velocity on your PC screen.


• Troubleshoot: Read error codes and history directly from the motor's internal memory.

Whether you are building a new machine or retrofitting an old one, this cable is the key to accessing the "smart" features of your ClearPath motors.
