With its integrated stepper drives (1.8A @ 37V), NextMove
ST provides a cost effective solution for up to 3 axes of
control. A further 4th stepper can be drive externally. Using
the latest generation 32-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), NextMove ST, coupled
with MintMT, offers a high speed and flexible motion controller.
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 ST CAN
bus, or alternatively, CANopen devices conforming to the standard
DS401 I/O profile.
Versatile programming is provided by means of Mint - multitasking
BASIC, embedded 'C' or the supplied ActiveX components.
NextMove ST is available with RS232 (or optional RS485) and
USB programming interfaces. |
