www.baldormotion.com 6.2 Preset moves The standard MintDrive can store 16 preset moves. If the CAN & Auxiliary I/O option is fitted, 256 preset moves can be stored. Presets can be selected and triggered using software (WorkBench v5 or a Mint program) or by using a combination of the digital inputs. In WorkBench v5, the Presets tool displays an interactive table allowing you to set up the preset moves.
www.baldormotion.com 6.2.2 Testing a preset move For testing, WorkBench v5 can be used to trigger the preset moves. 1. At the bottom of the Presets window, ensure that the Software option is checked. This means that WorkBench v5 will be used to control the preset moves.
Page 88
www.baldormotion.com 6.2.3.1 Configuring digital inputs to control presets The default combination of digital inputs used for triggering presets is 6, 7, 0 and 1 to select the preset, and 5 to trigger the preset. However, this combination can be changed to use any four (or fewer) contiguous inputs, plus a trigger input.
Page 89
www.baldormotion.com 2. At the bottom of the Digital I/O window, click in the Preset Inputs drop down box and select the number of inputs to be used for preset selection. For example, if the application requires only four different preset moves, choose 2. This means only two digital inputs will be used to select preset moves, allowing 4 different combinations (moves) to be selected.
www.baldormotion.com 6.2.4 Controlling preset moves Additional options are available to control the operation of preset moves. Dwell Time can be used to set a delay period between the triggering of a preset move and its commencement. If the Wait for Idle option is checked, the preset move will not begin until the previous one has been completed.
www.baldormotion.com 6.3 PLC Task The PLC Task is a special task that can be set up to monitor various events and act upon them if they become true. In WorkBench v5, the PLC Task tool allows you to enter conditional statements that respond to the events by performing a particular action.
www.baldormotion.com 6.3.2 Enabling and downloading the actions Individual actions can be enabled by clicking in the appropriate check box in the Enable column. When the PLC Task is activated, only those actions that have been enabled will be evaluated. 1. Set the required check boxes in the Enable column.
www.baldormotion.com 6.3.3 Testing the PLC Task There is no way to test the PLC Task other than causing the required conditions to occur. For example, if you have an action that is triggered by the condition Digital input 0, then activating digital input 0 will cause the corresponding action to occur.
If you cannot solve the problem or the problem persists, the SupportMe feature can be used. 7.1.2 SupportMe feature The SupportMe feature (on the Help menu) can be used to e-mail information to the Baldor representative from whom you purchased the equipment.

To avoid fire hazard, keep all combustible materials and flammable vapors away from the brake resistors. Ensure that the resistor has clearance of at least 50mm (2 in) above and below and 26mm (1 in) left and right. Baldor regeneration resistors are neither internally fused nor thermally protected and, under extreme conditions, can cause a fire hazard if not suitably protected or rated for the application.
www.baldormotion.com Control System B.1 Introduction The MintDrive can be configured for four basic control modes to suit the particular application. The choice of mode is defined using the Commissioning Wizard or the Mint keyword CONFIG. See the Mint help file for details. The four control modes are shown in Figures 52 to 55.
www.baldormotion.com B.1.2 Positioning system without speed controller Setting CONFIG to _cfTORQUE_SERVO configures the MintDrive to act as a different type of positioning system, as shown in Figure 53. Here, the speed controller is not present and the position controller performs the task of speed tracking. To achieve this, the position controller generates a torque demand signal directly.
www.baldormotion.com B.1.3 Speed amplifier Setting CONFIG to _cfVELOCITY configures the MintDrive as a speed amplifier, as shown in Figure 54. Here, a speed reference obtained from a specified source (e.g. a Mint program, the WorkBench v5 Command window, the analog demand input, or Fieldbus) provides targets for a speed profiler.
www.baldormotion.com B.1.4 Torque amplifier Setting CONFIG to _cfTORQUE configures the MintDrive as a torque amplifier, as shown in Figure 55. Here, a torque reference obtained from a specified source (e.g. a Mint program, the WorkBench v5 Command window, the analog demand input, or Fieldbus) provides targets for a torque profiler.
www.baldormotion.com B.2 Control system operation The following sections describe the operation of the position, speed and torque controllers. B.2.1 Position controller The position controller, shown below, is a typical proportional + integral + derivative (PID) controller, with gains set by the Mint keywords KPROP, KINT and KDERIV. The position demand from the profiler is compared with the measured position and the error is fed into the PID control calculation.
www.baldormotion.com B.2.2 Speed controller The speed controller, shown in Figure 57, is also a PID controller. Gains are set using the Mint keywords KVPROP, KVINT and KVDERIV. The speed is compared with the measured speed and the error is fed into the PID control calculation. The result forms the torque demand for the torque controller.
www.baldormotion.com B.2.3 Torque controller and feedback The torque controller, shown in Figure 58, is a PI controller. Gains are set using the Mint keywords KIPROP and KIINT. The torque demand is scaled into a current demand. This is compared with the measured current, obtained from the current sensors, and the error is fed into the PI control calculation.
