Safety Notice

Only qualified personnel should attempt to start-up, program or troubleshoot this equipment. This equipment may be connected to other machines that have rotating parts or parts that are controlled by this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury

Precautions

Do not touch any circuit board, power device or electrical connection before you first ensure that no high voltage is present at this equipment or other equipment to which it is connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt to start-up, program or troubleshoot this equipment.

Be sure that you are completely familiar with the safe operation and programming of this equipment. This equipment may be connected to other machines that have rotating parts or parts that are controlled by this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury.

MEDICAL DEVICE / PACEMAKER DANGER: Magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of current carrying conductors and industrial motors can result in a serious health hazard to persons with cardiac pacemakers, internal cardiac defibrillators, neurostimulators, metal implants, cochlear implants, hearing aids, and other medical devices. To avoid risk, stay away from the area surrounding a motor and its current carrying conductors.

The stop input to this equipment should not be used as the single means of achieving a safety critical stop. Drive disable, motor disconnect, motor brake and other means should be used as appropriate

Improper operation or programming may cause violent motion of the motor shaft and driven equipment. Be certain that unexpected motor shaft movement will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Peak torque of several times the rated motor torque can occur during control failure.

The safe integration of this equipment into a machine system is the responsibility of the machine designer. Be sure to comply with the local safety requirements at the place where the machine is to be used. In Europe these are the Machinery Directive, the ElectroMagnetic Compatibility Directive and the Low Voltage Directive. In the United States this is the National Electrical code and local codes.

Electrical components can be damaged by static electricity. Use ESD (electrostatic discharge) procedures when handling this equipment.

 NextMove ESB-2 features

         NextMove ESB-2 is a high performance multi-axis intelligent controller for servo and steppermotors.

NextMove ESB-2 features the Mint motion control language. Mint is a structured form of Basic, custom designed for stepper or servo motion control applications. It allows you to get started very quickly with simple motion control programs. In addition, Mint includes a wide range of powerful commands for complex applications. Standard features include:

 Control of 4 stepper axes and either 3 or 4 servo axes (model dependent).  Additional encoder input for master follower applications.  A wide variety of motion types including point to point moves, software cams and gearing.  20 general purpose digital inputs, software configurable as level or edge triggered.  12 general purpose digital outputs.  2 differential analog inputs with 12-bit resolution.  4 single-ended analog outputs with 12-bit resolution.  USB 1.1 serial port (compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0).  CANopen protocol for communication with Mint controllers and other third party CANopen devices.  Programmable in Mint.  Drop-in replacement for NextMove ESB.

2.2.1 Identifying the catalog number
