NEXTMOVE PCI
Higher performance
1-8 axis Machine Controller
Positional Moves
Absolute & Relative moves allow high speed point to
point motion on one or all axes.
Speed, Acceleration & Deceleration can be defined
for each axis.
Trapezoidal profiled moves provide the fastest point to
point move but exert the maximum jerk and shock on
a system.
S-ramp profiled moves provide a more smooth velocity
profile that prolongs the life of machine mechanics.
Interpolated Moves
Linear Interpolation across any eight axes, (mixed
vector/servo/stepper) allows positional moves to be
defined in terms of a linear vectors. Absolute and
relative vectored moves are supported.
Circular Interpolation across any 4 pairs of axes
simultaneously (mixed vector/servo/stepper) allows a
complete or partial arc to be defined. Absolute and
relative circular moves are supported.
Contouring allows a string of linear and circular
interpolated moves to be blended together into a
continuous complex path of motion.
Splining allows a stream of moves, defined in terms
of position, velocity and time, to be blended together
into a continuous and smooth motion. This is used
in applications where path speed and continuous
velocity are important.
PC Communications
Dual Port RAM is used to communicate program,
data and control commands between the PC and
NextMove PCI card. This provides a very high speed
and efficient method of transferring information without
over burdening the PC and NextMove processors.
M a s t e r / F o l l o w e r
Electronic Cam replaces the traditional mechanical
cam with a servo motor and software programmable
cam profile. NextMove PCI supports one cam profile
for each of the eight axes (vector/servo or stepper).
Any axis may be defined as a Master input to a cam
and multiple master/cam relationships are supported.
Electronic Gearbox & Clutch enable two motor
shafts to be linked together in precise synchroniza-
tion with a software programmable gear ratio.
NextMove PCI allows any axis to be geared to any
master. Any axis may be defined as the master.
Multiple master/gear relationships are supported.

P rogrammable Functions
NextMove PCl is programmed in MintV4 of Baldor’s easy to use MINT language, or in ‘C’. It offers greater
functionality and a more consistent relationship to ‘C’. Existing code can be quickly upgraded using Baldor’s
code analyzer tool which is shipped with all controllers. Both MINT and ‘C’ function libraries provide a wide
range of motion control functions outlined below and described more fully in the beginning of this section.
