7.2 NextMove PC
The NextMove PC axis expansion card is sold in two variants; 4 axes of servo and stepper control and 4
axes of stepper control. The total number of axes of control will not exceed 8 of NextMove PC.
To check that the expansion card has been detected, enter
VIEW HARDWARE at the Mint command
prompt. After the controller production parameters have been displayed, if an expansion card has been
detected, this will be indicated:
With an expansion card attached, the default axis configurations and hardware used may change. Use
the
VIEW CONFIG keyword to see the default assignments.
The
NUMBEROF keyword can also be used to return information of available axes and channels. The
CHANNELTYPE keyword can be used to determine the hardware types available for a given channel
number.
