NextMove ST

With its integrated stepper drives (2A @ 37V), NextMove ST provides a cost effective solution for up to 3 axes of control. A further 4^th 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 MintMT - multitasking Basic, embedded 'C' or the supplied ActiveX components.

NextMove ST is available with RS232 (or optional RS485) and USB programming interfaces.

Features:

• Panel mount, open frame configuration

• 3 axis stepper controller with integrated 2A, 37V power stage (control signals can be routed to external drives)

• Control for an external fourth stepper axis.

• 32-bit 120MHz Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

• 2MByte SRAM for user programs and data

• 2MByte FLASH for firmware and user program storage

• 32kByte FRAM for non-volatile parameter storage

• 17 uncommitted non-isolated digital inputs
  Programmable for hardware limits, home input, stop input and error input. 4 of the inputs can be programmed for high speed capture of position with 1 microsecond

• 11 uncommitted digital outputs. 5V open collector Darlington
  Programmable for drive enable and high speed position compare output

• 24V/150mA relay output to signal system error conditions

• 2 x 12-bit uncommitted analog inputs

• 10 bit uncommitted isolated analog output

• RS232 (115,200 Baud) and USB programming interfaces
  USB drivers compatible with Windows 2000/XP

• CAN interface for I/O expansion and HMI interfaces. Can be used to provide full peer-to-peer networking capabilities with other Mint based controllers

• Multi-tasking programming capability with MintMT. Number of tasks limited only by available memory

• Comprehensive move types including: linear, circular and helical interpolation; software cams; flying shears; splines; synchronization with positional offsets and virtual axes

• Embedded 'C' programming capability (Note: requires purchase of appropriate Texas Instruments compiler)

• ActiveX libraries supplied free of charge
