Simple and Sophisticated Point-to-Point
Moves
Flex+Drive-II provides the capability to handle point-
to-point (index) moves with ease. Move data can be
loaded via Mint WorkBench using a simple table driven
user interface. Up to 16 preset positions can be loaded,
with data including absolute/relative position, speed,
acceleration and deceleration. Using the onboard I/O,
requests to new positions are controlled using 4 digital
inputs. Full handshaking with the external host (such
as a PLC) is handled over the I/O. In addition to the
preset positions, preset speeds can be loaded. A home
position and home sequence can also be defined.
I/O Expansion
The number of preset positions can be expanded
using the CAN + I/O (Option B) option card. This adds
a further 10 digital inputs and 5 digital outputs. Up
to 256 pre-set positions can be loaded. The preset
positions are broken down into groups of 16 positions,
each group having their own speed, acceleration and
deceleration.
Flexible Drive Family
FlexDrive-II and Flex+Drive-II offer a flexible
solution to suit your application needs. Optional
fieldbusses (CANopen, DeviceNet and Profibus-DP)
provide powerful connections to industry leading
programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Fieldbus solutions provide access to the Mint
command set allowing complete interrogation of the
drive for both diagnostics and commissioning.
For indexing applications, the Flex+Drive-II offers
a powerful solution. Moves can be set up in Mint
WorkBench and initiated using the I/O. Alternatively
move commands can be sent over any of the available fieldbus
options.
For more complex applications, Flex+Drive-II can be networked
with MintDrive-II over the optional CANopen interface. This
provides full peer-to-peer networking, allowing drives to
communicate with each other over the network. This can
be used for coordinated motion, downloading recipes or
diagnostics.

Baldor Servo Motor
 Position and speed table for 16 presets (expandable to
256 with I/O option card)
 Mint programming capability for more complex indexing
applications
 Flex+Drive-II provides the power and flexibility to act as a single axis
machine controllers for applications such as cut to length and other
indexing requirements. An HMI can interface with the drive over the
RS232/485 port and be used for recipe data, machine configuration or
diagnostics.
