OPT025-504
Expansion interconnect card to connect NextMove PCI to one expansion
card
OPT025-505
Dual expansion interconnect card to connect NextMove PCI to two
expansion cards
The relay on the expansion card can be accessed by using the MintMT RELAY keyword, with
the bank dot parameter set to 1. For example, RELAY.1=1 will activate the relay on the first
expansion card. The RELAY keyword cannot be used if the relay is being used as a drive
enable output. See the MintMT help file.
Connections to the expansion card’s relay are present only on the breakout module attached
to the expansion card.
A.1.2 Axis numbering when using expansion card(s)
The main NextMove PCI card is available in 1, 2, 3, 4, or 8 axis variants. The expansion card
isavailablein4or8axisvariants.However,usinga8axismaincardanda8axisexpansion
card will not provide 16 axes of control. This is because the NextMove PCI system can control
a maximum 12 axes. Also, when the 1, 2 or 3 axis NextMove PCI cards are used, some axis
numbers become unavailable.
The axis numbers available for different combinations of hardware are summarized in the
