2.1 NextMove ST features

NextMove ST is a high performance multi-axis intelligent controller for stepper motors.

NextMove ST features the MintMT motion control language. MintMT is a structured form of Basic, custom designed for stepper or servo motion control applications. It allows you to get started very quickly with simple motion control programs. In addition, MintMT includes a wide range of powerful commands for complex applications.

Standard features include:

HThree stepper drive outputs, with control for a fourth external stepper axis

HIntegral AC/DC power supply

HPoint to point moves, software cams and gearing

H24 general purpose 5V digital inputs, software configurable as level or edge triggered

H16 general purpose digital outputs (open collector Darlington type)

H2 differential ±10V analog inputs with 12-bit resolution

H1 single-ended 0-11V analog output with 8-bit resolution for control of a fifth axis or other equipment

HProgrammable in MintMT.
