The Mint Machine Module plugs into a hardware expansion slot in any of the vendor’s MotiFlex range of Powerlink-compatible three-phase AC motor drives, allowing machine builders to eliminate the need for a separate external network controller and associated cabling and panel space.
Two variations of the motion/machine control card are offered: a
dual-axis version that will control the host Powerlink drive plus
another external drive via a conventional analog interface, or a
high-speed version that will also act as a Powerlink network controller
to manage a complete multi-axis control system. Both options are
compatible with the vendor’s Mint motion language, with its rich
development support. The multi-axis control made possible by the Mint
Machine Module is a unique offering in the real-time Ethernet market,
