NextMove ST

NextMove ESB 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 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.

Features:

Panel mount, open frame configuration
3 axis stepper controller with integrated 1.8A, 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
Compatible with MintNC and HPGL
