2 Introduction

2.1 Overview

Baldor controllers are normally programmed using the MintMT language.

MintMT is a structured form of Basic, custom designed for either stepper or servo motion control

applications. It was devised to allow users to quickly get started with simple motion control programs. In

addition, MintMT includes a wide range of powerful commands for complex applications. The MintMT

language consists of two basic components. The interpreter level that gives the MintMT language its

multi-tasking functionality and the underlying Mint Motion Library (MML) which provides the hardware

access. For all motion control and hardware access MintMT calls MML functions.

The PC Developer Libraries allow PC based applications to be written that communicate with MintMT

controllers and access functions in the MML. This is achieved using the MintMT ActiveX Control which is a

common API (Application Program Interface) for the range of MintMT based motion controllers.

Features include:

 Update firmware into FLASH / RAM

 Compile and download MintMT programs

 Immediate command mode interface to controllers which allows PC applications to call MML functions

 Read / Write to Dual Port RAM

 Support for the ASCII Mint Comms Protocol.

The MintMT ActiveX Control is suitable for use under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000.
