On board I/O can be used to control many parts of the machine. This can be further expanded with either Baldor's range of CAN I/O modules operating over the NextMove ES CAN bus, or alternatively, CANopen devices conforming to the standard DS401 I/O profile.

Versatile programming is provided by means of MintMT - multitasking Basic, embedded 'C' or the supplied ActiveX components.

NextMove ES is available with RS232 (or optional RS485) and USB programming ports.
