2.1 NextMove BXII features

NextMove BXII is a high speed multi-axis intelligent motion controller, supporting up to four servo axes.

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

Standard features of the NextMove BXII include:

HControl of up to four axes

HPoint to point moves, software cams and gearing

H16 general purpose digital inputs, software configurable as level or edge triggered

H4 fast position latch inputs

H8 digital outputs

H8 analog inputs with 12-bit resolution, configurable as single ended inputs or differential pairs

HCANopen protocol for peer-to-peer communications with Mint controllers and other third party devices

HProprietary CAN protocol for control of Baldor remote I/O devices

HProgrammable in Mint.

Included with NextMove BXII is the Baldor Motion Tookit CD. This contains a number of utilities and useful resources to get the most from your Mint controller. These include:
