Total Programming Flexibility
Baldor’s Mint languages offers total flexibility for the
machine designer to satisfy different performance
and operational requirements:
MintMT
Features of MintMT include:
Subroutines and functions
with parameter passing
and local variables
Named variables and
arrays
Independent tasks limited
only by available memory
Compiled source code for
high speed program
execution
MintMT provides flexible Basic-
style programming for automation builders which
allows motion programs to be developed and tested
in minutes. Keywords provide ready-to-use software
for movement tasks from simple profiles to advanced
profiles such as software cams and flying shears.
Also incorporating I/O and HMI functionality, Mint
provides a complete automation solution which can
run autonomously.
Multi-tasking further simplifies development, allowing
complex requirements such as machine control to be
divided into small, manageable tasks such as motion,
man-machine interfacing, and I/O handling.
Motion Profiles—Positional Moves
Absolute and Relative: with its own speed,
acceleration and deceleration defined (including
trapezoidal and S-ramp profiles).
Interpolated moves: using the 100 deep move
buffer, multiple linear and circular moves may be
blended for continuous complex motion paths. Each
move can be assigned its own feedrate.
Helical interpolation: For 3 axes, defining a helical
move in 3D space.
Speed control: A jogging function allows the motor
to run indefinitely at a defined speed, in position
control.
Splining: Allows a stream of moves, defined in
terms of position, velocity and time, to be blended
for continuous, smooth motion.
Motion Profiles—Master/Follower
Electronic Gearbox & Clutch: Enables two or more
shafts to be linked with a programmable ratio. Any
axis can be geared to any other in addition to the
master encoder input. Clutch allows precise start and
stop distances when synchronizing.
Registration on the fly, An incremental move may
be performed during gearing for position correction.
Electronic Cam: Replaces traditional mechanical
cams with servo/vector motor and software
programmable profiles (relative or absolute). Each
axis can support cam profiling.
Flying Shear: Allows position synchronization of a
slave axis to a master, with defined acceleration and
deceleration profiles - all linked by software to
product movement.
Program Development Tools
The Mint WorkBench offers an easy to use Windows
development front end for Mint programming, with
its color highlighting of keywords and context
sensitive help. The Program Navigator makes it a
breeze to navigate the source code, no matter how
complicated.
Features include:
Command line interface to interrogating the
controller even when the program is running
Spy window to monitor common motion
variables and I/O
Software oscilloscope
Watch window for variable monitoring
SupportMe function for rapid technical support
