Baldor MN1903 installation manual Axis numbering when using expansion cards, Main Expansion cards

A description of the catalog numbers are shown in the following table:

Catalog	Description
number
PCI002-501	NextMove PCI Expansion card with PNP digital outputs, 4 axis
PCI002-502	NextMove PCI Expansion card with PNP digital outputs, 8 axis
PCI002-503	NextMove PCI Expansion card with NPN digital outputs, 4 axis
PCI002-504	NextMove PCI Expansion card with NPN digital outputs, 8 axis
OPT025-504	Expansion interconnect card to connect NextMove PCI to one expansion
	card
OPT025-505	Dual expansion interconnect card to connect NextMove PCI to two
	expansion cards

The relay on the expansion card can be accessed by using the MintMT RELAY keyword, with the bank dot parameter set to 1. For example, RELAY.1=1 will activate the relay on the first expansion card. The RELAY keyword cannot be used if the relay is being used as a drive enable output. See the MintMT help file.

Connections to the expansion card’s relay are present only on the breakout module attached to the expansion card.

A.1.2 Axis numbering when using expansion card(s)

The main NextMove PCI card is available in 1, 2, 3, 4, or 8 axis variants. The expansion card is available in 4 or 8 axis variants. However, using a 8 axis main card and a 8 axis expansion card will not provide 16 axes of control. This is because the NextMove PCI system can control a maximum 12 axes. Also, when the 1, 2 or 3 axis NextMove PCI cards are used, some axis numbers become unavailable.

The axis numbers available for different combinations of hardware are summarized in the following table:

Main			Expansion cards
NextMove	With no	One 4-axis		One 8-axis		Two 4-axis
PCI	expansion	expansion card		expansion card		expansion cards
card model
	main	main	expansion	main	expansion	main	exp1	exp2
1 axis	0	0	4-7	0	4-11	0	4-7	8-11
2 axes	0,1	0,1	4-7	0,1	4-11	0,1	4-7	8-11
3 axes	0,1,2	0,1,2	4-7	0,1,2	4-11	0,1,2	4-7	8-11
4 axes	0-3	0-3	4-7	0-3	4-11	0-3	4-7	8-11
8 axes	0-7	0-7	8-11	0-7	8-11
