Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
1.1
Introduction
The PC Developer Libraries allow PC based applications to be written that communicate with Mint controllers.
This is achieved using the Mint Interface Library which is a common API (Application Program Interface) for the
range of Mint based motion controllers. The Mint Interface Library is suitable for use under Windows 95, 98,
ME, NT and 2000 via an ActiveX control or C++ source code.
Features include:
•
•
•
•
Ability to upload and download Mint programs and configuration files.
Ability to interrogate the Mint command line.
Updating of new firmware into FLASH or RAM.
Support for the Mint Comms Protocol, whereby data can be transferred to an executing Mint program by
means of a protected datapacket.
•
Ability to read Dual Port RAM locations on the NextMove PCI and NextMove PC (Mint v4)
controllers.
•
•
PC based motion control.
Support for communications with controllers on a CAN network.
Support is provided for the following controllers:
•
•
•
•
NextMove product family: NextMove PCI, NextMove BX and NextMove PC.
MintDrive.
ServoNode 51.
EuroSystem product family: SmartMove, SmartStep, EuroSystem, EuroStep, EuroServo.
This manual does not include detail on individual Mint Interface Library functions. Details can be found in the
Mint v4 Function Reference Guide.
1.2
Installation
From the Baldor Motion Toolkit CD, the ‘PC Developer Libraries’ should be installed from the NextMove PCI,
NextMove BX v4, MintDrive and ServoNode 51 product pages. This will install the ActiveX component, the
C++ source files and the examples. A custom setup option is also included to allow selective install of the
components.

Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
The Mint Interface Library is a common API that allows access to Mint controllers. It can be used via an
ActiveX control or through C++ source code. The Mint Interface Library is suitable for use under Windows 95,
98, ME, NT and 2000.
The ActiveX control (OCX) can be used with a large number of languages. This document concentrates on
Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic and Borland Delphi but the principle is the same in any language.
The C++ source code can also be used directly from Visual C++.
Communication to NextMove PCI and NextMove PC occurs over Dual Port RAM on the card. Communication
to all other controllers takes place over a serial port using either RS232 or RS485.
The are several example programs included on the Baldor Motion Toolkit as part of the PC Developer Libraries.
This chapter covers general methods of communication with Mint controllers. The next chapter covers the
specifics of using the Mint Interface Library.
2.1
NextMove PCI
NextMove PCI requires a device driver under all Windows operating systems. See the NextMove PCI
Installation Guide for details on installing the device drivers.
The version number of the device driver can be found using the following method:
Windows 95, 98, ME:
Locate the file NMPCI1.VXD in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory using Windows Explorer. Right click the
file and select ‘Properties’. The ‘Version’ tab of the displayed dialog gives version information for the device
driver.
Windows NT, 2000:
Locate the file NMPCI.SYS in the \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory using Windows Explorer. Right
click the file and select ‘Properties’. The ‘Version’ tab of the displayed dialog gives version information for the
device driver.
2.2
NextMove PC
NextMove PC requires a device driver under Windows NT and Windows 2000. See the NextMove PC Mint v4
Installation Guide for details on installing the device driver.
2.3
Dual Port RAM on NextMove PCI and PC
All communication between NextMove PCI / PC and the host is performed using Dual Port RAM (DPR). This is
physical block of memory on NextMove which can be accessed by either NextMove or the host. Various
locations in DPR have been set aside for special purposes such as sending control codes and passing I/O
information. Other locations have been left for the user to pass any required information back and forth.
4
MN1278 05.2001
Communicating with a Controller
The main features and uses of DPR are:
•
•
•
•
Support for the Mint Comms protocol. This is a method of asynchronously updating variables in a Mint
program from the host.
Mint pseudo serial buffer. This allows communication with the Mint command line and Mint program
and configuration loading/saving.
Reporting of Mint status. The host can read whether Mint is at the command line and if not, which line
it is executing.
Automatic reporting of motion variables. Every 2 milliseconds NextMove writes various motion
parameters into DPR such as position and velocity of an axis. This can be read at any time by the host.
•
•
Event control. This allows NextMove to interrupt the host and the host to interrupt NextMove.
Flags & control registers. Each NextMove application uses control registers to tell the host which
features it supports. Control registers can also be used to synchronize communications between
NextMove and the host.
•
User area. There is an area in DPR which has been left to allow NextMove and the host application to
exchange whatever application specific data is required.
Appendix 1 shows the layout of DPR and describes the functionality of each section in detail.
2.4
Mint Comms Array (All Controllers)
The Mint Comms Protocol is a secure communication method allowing asynchronous transfer of floating point
data to and from a Mint controller. This is a 255 element array where the first 99 elements can contain user data
and the remaining elements contain pre-defined data such as axis position and velocity. Comms provides the best
way of communicating data between a Mint program running on a controller and the host at run time. It can be
used for simple data transfer, or as a method of synchronizing events. Comms can also be used for transferring
data directly between controllers. For further information on the uses of Comms, see the Mint v4 Programming
Guide section 5, ‘Mint Comms Communications’, and the Mint v4 CAN Programming Manual section 3,
‘Getting Started with CANopen’.
On Mint v4 serial controllers, Comms now uses binary packets to transfer data but in earlier Mint versions, an
ASCII based packet was used. All Mint v4 controllers also support the older protocol.
Example:
In this example, Comms is used to pass commands to a Mint program using two Comms locations. Location 1 is
used to pass the command and location 2 is used to pass data. The host code is written in C++ but the principles
are applicable to any language.
Host:
/* Address of NextMove PC
#define nmADDRESS
*/
*/
0x33C
0
/* Node number
#define NODE0

/* Create a handle to the controller */
CNextMovePC myNextMove ( NODE0, nmADDRESS );
/* Define variables */
float fErrorCode;
float fOutput = 1.0;
float fControl = SPECIAL_ROUTINE1;
/* Write to comms location */
myNextMove.setComms (NODE0, PARAM_1, &fOutput );
/* Write to comms location */
myNextMove.setComms (NODE0, CONTROL_LOCATION, &fControl );
/* Handshake to Mint program to wait for completion of function */
do {
myNextMove.getComms (NODE0, CONTROL_LOCATION, &fControl );
} while ( COMPLETED != fControl );
/* Read the data returned */
myNextMove.getComms (NODE0, PARAM_1, &fErrorCode );
Mint for NextMove:

2.5
Interfacing with Mint
The Mint command line allows manual execution of Mint keywords. Using the Mint WorkBench, the Mint
command line can be used when testing, commissioning and debugging Mint programs.
There are several functions in the Mint Interface Library for direct access to the serial buffer:
setSerialChar, setSerialCharTimeout, setSerialStringTimeout, getSerialChar, getSerialCharTimeout and
getSerialStringTimeout.
These allow characters and strings to be passed to and from a Mint application. A Mint application may use the
serial buffer for program control, user information or debug information.
For example:
myNextMoveBX.setSerialStringTimeout ( “MA.0=100:GO.0\n”, 100).
2.5.1
Preventing Deadlock Situations
If Mint has a character to write to the serial port, it will wait indefinitely until there is a space in the transmit
buffer. This means that the serial buffer must be emptied by the host application for the Mint program to
proceed. There are several ways of doing this:
Call one of the read functions e.g. getSerialChar until the buffer is emptied.
Set the terminal mode to be overwrite or off. The terminal mode controls how the serial buffer is used. If the
mode is overwrite, then the oldest characters in the buffer are overwritten by the new characters. If the mode is
off, all characters are discarded as they are placed in the buffer. See the TERMINALMODE keyword in the Mint
v4 Programming Guide for further details.
The functions setTerminalmode (tmRS232, tmmOVERWRITE) will set the terminal mode on the RS232 port to
be overwrite. setTerminalmode (tmDPR, tmmOFF) will disable all serial communications on the pseudo serial
buffer on NextMove PC or PCI.
The terminal mode can also be set for NextMove PC and PCI when firmware is downloaded to the controller.
Specify TRUE for the bEchoOverwrite parameter of doUpdateFirmware / doUpdateFirmwareEx. This will set
the pseudo-serial communications into overwrite mode.
To download and upload and Mint program and configuration files to Mint, the functions doMintFileDownload
and doMintFileUpload are used. These are unaffected by the setting of terminalmode.

3.1
C++
The Mint Interface Library was written in C++. The source code is provided and can be included in your project.
The only supported compilers are Visual C++ v6.0 and Watcom 11. All other compilers must use the ActiveX
control to communicate with controllers.
3.1.1
C++ : the Classes
The Mint Interface Library contains a C++ class for each controller.
In each case the class is defined in the header file in the right of the table. All of these headers are included in
precomp.h (see later).
Controller
Class
Header file to include
NextMove PC
NextMove PCI
NextMove BX
MintDrive
CNextMovePC
CNextMovePCI1
CNextMoveBX
CMintDrive
nextmove.h
nm_pci1.h
nm_bx.h
mintdrv.h
snode51.h
ServoNode 51
CServoNode51
The simplest way to interface to any of these controllers is to create an instance of the object and call any of the
functions described later in the manual.
For example, to download nmpci.out to a NextMove PCI a CNextMovePCI1 object can be created.
Hint : All controllers referenced in the Mint v4 PC Programming Guide are derived from the CController
class (defined in BASE.H.) All functions are virtual, so it is safe to pass pointers to objects as
(CController*) if the class type to be created is not known at compile time.
The following files should be included in your C++ project.

3.1.2
Pre-Compiled Headers in Visual C++ 6.0.
In order to speed up compilation of C++ projects using C++, the Mint Interface Library files precomp.cpp and
precomp.h can be used. This has been found to reduce build times by up to 85% so although not required are
worth using. To use precompiled headers, include precomp.h at the top of each source file. Then include
precomp.cpp in the project and set it to create the pre-compiled header file. The following sections go into more
detail on how to set up precompiled header files in the supported compilers.
To use pre-compiled headers with a Visual C++ project.
1. Make sure precomp.cpp is included in the project.
2. If the project was generated by the App Wizard, it will have created a file called stdafx.cpp to create the
precompiled header file. As precomp.cpp replaces stdafx.cpp, delete stdafx.cpp from the project.
3. If stdafx.cpp was NOT deleted in the previous step proceed to step 6.
4. Replace all instances of #include “stdafx.h” with #include “precomp.h”.
5. In the Project menu, select Settings. This will open the ‘Project Settings’ dialog. Select the C/C++ tab. In
the Category drop-down, select General. Select All Configurations in Settings For: on the left. In the
Preprocessor definitions: field, add _INC_STDAFX_H_ separating it from the preceding text with a comma.
This causes precomp.h to include the files previously included by stdafx.h. stdafx.h can still be edited to add
more files to the precompiled header as required. The dialog should now look similar to the screen shot
below. Press OK to store these changes. Now proceed to step 7.
MN1278 05.2001
11
Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
Figure 3-1: Visual C++ 6.0 Project Settings (step 5)
6. Add #include “precomp.h” to the top of each source (.c or .cpp) file. Note that no pre-compiler directives
(e.g. #include, #if, #define) should be placed above this line (although comments can be).
7. In the Project menu, select Settings. This will open the ‘Project Settings’ dialog. Select the C/C++ tab. In
the Category drop-down, select Precompiled Headers. Select All Configurations in Settings For: on the left.
Click on Use precompiled header file (.pch) and enter precomp.h in the Through Header text field. The
dialog should now look similar to the screen shot below. Press OK to store these changes. This will instruct
the project to use the pre-compiled file.
12
MN1278 05.2001
Using the Library with Various Languages
Figure 3-2: Visual C++ 6.0 Project Settings (step 7)
8. Select precomp.cpp in File View. Right click with the mouse and select Settings. This will open a dialog
similar to the dialog in step 3, but this time the dialog will only apply to precomp.cpp. Again, select Settings
For: All Configurations, and the Precompiled Headers Category on the C/C++ tab. This time, select Create
precompiled header file (.pch) and add precomp.h to the Through Header field. Check the dialog resembles
the one below and press OK.
MN1278 05.2001

Figure 3-3: Visual C++ 6.0 Project Settings (step 8)
9. Rebuild the project. Precomp.cpp should now be the first file to build. This causes the pre-compiled header
file to be built. All the other files will now use this pre-compiled header as opposed to having to re-compile
all the header files each time.
3.1.3
A Visual C++ 6.0 Tutorial
This section will guide you through creating a Visual C application. The application will contain one button
which will toggle the state of the enable output for axis 0. Note that the axis must already be configured as servo
(use the Mint WorkBench to do this).

10. Select ‘ClassView’. Right click on ‘CVCTutorialDlg’ and select ‘Add Member Function’. Copy the dialog
below.
Figure 3-10: Class View dialog (step 10)
Hit ‘OK’ to edit the new function. The MILError function will check the return code from all Mint Interface
Library functions. Edit the function as follows.
__int16 CVCTutorialDlg::MILError(__int16 nError)
{
if ( erSUCCESS != nError ){
TCHAR szError[ szMAX_ERROR ];
getErrorString( szError, nError );
MessageBox( szError );
}
return nError;
}
11. At this point an attempt to build the code will fail at the link stage, as the source for getErrorString has not
been included. Add ‘host_def.cpp’ to the project and the code should build.

Compiling an ATL COM Project with Visual C.
When compiling an ATL COM project in Visual C, define _NO_AFX_. This prevents AFX and MFC files being
included.
3.1.5
RS485 Networks.
Individual controllers on an RS485 network can be accessed from within one application built using the source
code. One CController derived object can be created for each node on the network, and they will share the serial
port. Other applications will not be able to access controllers on the same port.
When using controllers on an RS485 link, remember to call setHandShakeMode(0) to disable hardware
handshaking. If there are several CController objects sharing the port, setHandShakeMode(0) only has to
be called for one of the controllers.
3.2
All Other Languages : The ActiveX Control ( OCX )
The ActiveX control is known as the Baldor Motion Library. When used, a TMintController object is created.
This can be used with a large number of languages. This section documents the use of the control with Visual
Basic 6 and Delphi 5, but the principle is the same in any language.
3.2.1
The ActiveX Control And The Languages It Can Be Used
With.
The control is a Active X (COM) control. It can be used with any languages that support
•
•
•
•
•
Long integers (32 bit signed integers)
Short integers ( 16 bit signed integers)
Floats ( 32 bit floating point)
BSTRs (Visual Basic Style strings)
Pointers to all the above types.
Some languages do not support all of these data types (e.g. WonderWare InTouch does not support short integers
or pointers). For these languages, a ‘wrapper’ COM server may have to be written to convert to types used by the
language. Documentation should be provided with each language on how to perform this.
24
MN1278 05.2001
Using the Library with Various Languages
3.2.2
The ActiveX Control and Error Handling.
The ActiveX control produces COM (ActiveX) errors (exceptions) if any function fails. These will be trapped by
whatever exception handling method is implemented in that language (error handling in Visual Basic is
described in more detail in 3.3.1 ) The meaning of the error code can be found as follows:
•
•
•
Mask off the top 16 bits ( or 17 in VB ) as the actual error code is only contained in the lower 16 bits.
If the number is 200 hex ( 512 ) or greater it is a Mint Interface Library error.
If the number is less than 200 hex ( 512 ) it is a standard COM error created by the framework, not the
Mint Interface Library.
3.2.3
The ActiveX Control and Serial Controllers.
One instance of (part of) the ActiveX control will be shared by all applications that use it. This means that more
than one application can access the same serial controller. This is not true of applications written with the C++
source code, where only one application can access a serial controller.
3.2.4
The ActiveX Control and RS485 Networks.
To access several nodes on an RS485 network, create one MintController object for each controller. The Visual
Basic RS485 example shows how Immediate commands can be performed and also how the command line of
each controller can be accessed.
When using controllers on an RS485 link, remember to call setHandShakeMode(0) to disable hardware
handshaking. If there are several MintController sharing the port, setHandShakeMode(0) only has to be
called for one.
3.2.5
Distributing an Executable Which Uses The ActiveX
Control.
When distributing a program which uses the ActiveX control, the files MILOCXZZZZ.OCX and
MILSERVERZZZZ.OCX (where ZZZZ is the version number) must be installed in the windows\system directory
and registered. Microsoft DCOM95 must also be installed. The easiest way to do this is to use a package such as
InstallShield Express and install MDAC2.0 which forces installation of DCOM95.
3.2.6
‘Server Busy” / “Component Request Pending” Errors.
MN1278 05.2001
25
Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
When using the Active Control, warning messages such as the dialog above ( taken from a Visual Basic
application ) may be shown for slow operations such as file download. This is because the application expects
the ActiveX operation to finish its operation in a certain time ( the default for Visual Basic is five seconds. ) It
should be able to change these timeouts or remove the check completely, the method will be different for each
language. The following sections give advice on how to do this in Visual Basic and Visual C.
“Component Request Pending” in VB.
This error ( as shown in the dialog above ) can be prevented by adding the following code before the function
which times out is called.
App.OleRequestPendingTimeout = 60000
This will increase the timeout to a minute ( the timeout is in milliseconds. ) If this is still not long enough, the
value can be increased.
“Server Busy” in a Visual C MFC Application.
This is described fully in the Microsoft MSDN article Q248019 HOWTO: Prevent Server Busy Dialog Box From
Appearing During a Lengthy COM Operation.
To solve the problem add the following lines of code to the CWinapp derived classes InitInstance function.
AfxOleInit();
26
MN1278 05.2001
Using the Library with Various Languages
AfxOleGetMessageFilter()->EnableNotRespondingDialog( FALSE );
The file will have to include afxole.h
3.3
Visual Basic 6
3.3.1
Error number conversion
The error numbers returned in Err after a function call in Visual Basic differ from the constants defined in
mil.bas. To convert from an Err code (other than 0) to a MIL error, mask off the top 17 bits by ANDing with
&H7FFF and subtract &H200. There is a function called VBErrorToMIL in mil.bas to do this.
Public Function VBErrorToMIL(VBError&) As Long
If VBError& = 0 Then
VBErrorToMIL& = erSUCCESS
Else
VBErrorToMIL& = (VBError& And &H7FFF) - &H200
End If
End Function
If the result of this function is negative, the error was produced by VB, not the Mint Interface Library.
3.3.2
A Visual Basic Tutorial.
This section will guide you through creating a visual basic application. The application will contain one button
which will toggle the state of the enable output for axis 0. Note that the axis must already be configured as servo
(use the Mint WorkBench to do this).
1. Open Visual Basic and create a ‘New’ ‘Standard Exe.’
2. Select ‘Components’ from the ‘Project’ menu.
MN1278 05.2001

Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
Figure 3-12: Selection of Mint Component
3. Find ‘Baldor Motion Library XXXX for Mint Build XXXX in the list and check the box. In this example
the version 1107 is being used, but you this will have changed by the time this manual is printed. If there is a
choice of several versions, choose the most recent, unless you want to target an older version of Mint. Hit
‘OK’ This should have added the
icon to the toolbox.
4. Select’Add Module’ from the ‘Project’ tab. Click on the ‘Existing’ tab and add ‘mil.bas’ which should be in
the ‘c:\mint\host’ directory.
5. Click on the
icon in the toolbox and draw a square on the form. This will create a MintController
ActiveX control which will be used to communicate with the controller. Click on the control on the form
And change the name from MintController1 to myController.
28
MN1278 05.2001
Using the Library with Various Languages
6. In the Form_Load module we will tell the COM server which type of controller we want to communicate
with. These means the code will depend on the controller you have. The Consts should be editted to match
your system,
- MintDrive
Private Sub Form_Load()
Const NodeNumber = 10
Const CommPort = 1
Const Baudrate = 57600
myController.setMintDriveLink(NodeNumber, CommPort, Baudrate, True)
End Sub
- NextMove PC
Private Sub Form_Load()
Const NodeNumber = 0
Const Address = &H23C
myController.setNextMovePCLink(NodeNumber, Address)
End Sub
- NextMove PCI
Private Sub Form_Load()
Const NodeNumber = 0
Const CardNumber = 0
myController.setNextMovePCI1Link(NodeNumber, CardNumber)
End Sub
7. Add a command button, and place the following code behind it.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim bState As Boolean
'*********************************************
' Read the state of the drive enable for axis 0
'*********************************************
myController.getDriveEnable 0, bState
'*********************************************
' Toggle the state of the enable
'*********************************************
myController.setDriveEnable 0, (bState = False)
End Sub
8. This code should now work. At this stage, an error handler will be added. Change the getDriveEnable code
to access an axis that does not exist. E.g.
myController.getDriveEnable -1, bState
This should create the following error when run.
MN1278 05.2001

9. Add the following code to trap this (or any other error).
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim bState As Boolean
On Error GoTo command1_error
'*********************************************
' Read the state of the drive enable for axis 0
'*********************************************
myController.getDriveEnable -1, bState
'*********************************************
' Toggle the state of the enable
'*********************************************
myController.setDriveEnable 0, (bState = False)
Exit Sub

This section will guide you through creating a simple Delphi application. The application will contain one button
which will toggle the state of the drive enable output for axis 0. Note that the axis must already be configured as
servo (use the Mint WorkBench to do this).
1. Open Delphi and create a new project.
2. If this is the first time a Delphi Mint Interface Library application has been created on this machine a type
library file will have to be created. Select ‘Import ActiveX Control’ from the ‘Components’ menu. Find
‘Baldor Motion Control Library XXXX for Mint XXXX in the list and check the box. In this example the
version 1109 is being used, but this will have changed by the time this manual is printed. If there is a choice
of several versions, choose the most recent, unless you want to target an older version of Mint. Hit
‘Install…’ and follow the default options.

3. Select the ActiveX tab on the toolbar. The rightmost icon should now be the MintController
icon.
Click the icon and then click Form1 to create an instance of the control. Examining the properties of the
control should show that the name is MintController1.
4. We now have to edit the FormCreate function. Double click on Form1 to open the FormCreate function.
The line of code depends on the controller being used. It will tell the COM server which type of controller
we want to communicate with. These means the code will depend on the controller you have. The consts
should be editted to match your system,

const NodeNumber = 0;
const CardNumber = 0;
begin
MintController1.setNextMovePCI1Link( NodeNumber, CardNumber );
end;
end.
5. Add a button and double click on it to edit the Button1Click procedure. Add the following code.
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var wbEnabled : WordBool;
begin
{ Read the current state of the drive enable. }
MintController1.getDriveEnable( 0, wbEnabled );
{ Write back the toggled value. }
MintController1.setDriveEnable( 0, ( wbEnabled = FALSE ));
end;
end.
MN1278 05.2001
33
Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
6. This code should now run. To add an error handler, change the first parameter to setDriveEnable to –1 to
create a run time error. This will raise an EOleException error. To trap this error, modify the code as
follows.
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var wbEnabled : WordBool;
begin
{ Trap errors. All errors will cause program flow to jump to the except }
try
{ Read the current state of the drive enable. }
MintController1.getDriveEnable( 0, wbEnabled );
{ Write back the toggled value. }
MintController1.setDriveEnable( 0, ( wbEnabled = FALSE ));
except
{ This is called on any function in the try block failing }
On E: Exception do MessageBox ( 0, pchar(E.Message), 'Mint Interface Library Call
failed', 0 );
end;
end;
To prevent Delphi from halting program execution in the event of an exception the ‘Stop on Delphi Exceptions’
check box must be cleared. This is found in the ‘Debugger Options’ from the ‘Tools’ menu.

PC Based Motion Control
PC Based Motion Control
This chapter covers creating motion applications on the host PC.
4
MN1278 05.2001
35
Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
The Mint Interface Library provides all of the functionality that is available in the Mint programming language.
Motion applications can be written on the host PC by calling functions from the Mint Interface Library. When a
function is called, the Mint Interface Library communicates with the controller and calls the specified function
directly on the controller. The Mint functionality is still being performed by the controller but it has been
initiated directly by a host application. The real-time elements of Mint are still run on the controller but the
sequencing can be controlled by the host application.
The following diagram shows the architecture, known as Immediate Command Mode:

Figure 4-1: Immediate Command Mode Interface
Immediate Command Mode (ICM) is the method that allows Mint motion functions to be called from a host
application, bypassing Mint.
Calling functions from the host is particularly useful if there is a large amount of processing to do (i.e. calculation
of multi-axis paths) as the host can do the processing and send the commands to the controller. Note that these
functions can be used in conjunction with a Mint program. For example a Mint program handles the I/O and the
host calculates the path and sends it to the controller using setVectorA().
The Immediate Command Mode interface can also be used for testing applications to be compiled by a C31
compiler and run on NextMove. This is described in Mint v4 Embedded Programming Guide.
There is a one to one correlation between Mint commands and Mint Interface Library Functions. For example,
within a Mint program, the MOVER keyword is used to create a relative positional move on an axis.
MOVER.0 = 10
The Mint Interface Library function for this is setMoveR.
setMoveR (0, 10)
The keyword has been prefixed with set. Almost all Mint keywords are available in the Mint Interface Library.
The will be prefixed with set for writes, get for reads and do for commands.
36
MN1278 05.2001
PC Based Motion Control
Functions called from the host fall into two categories. Those functions that replicate Mint keywords are known
as Mint Motion Library calls (MML) and those functions which are general communications functions are known
as Mint Interface Library calls (MIL).
Example:
The following code is a Visual Basic extract showing a host application set up a move on a NextMove BX. The
TMintController object has been added to the form and named ‘myController’.
‘ Set up some data
Dim axis0(1) As Integer
Dim isIdle As Boolean
axis0 = 0
' Create handle to NextMove: node, comm port, baud rate, open
myController.setNextMoveBXLink 2, 1, 19200, 1
‘ Set move parameters on axis 0
myController.setSpeed 0, 40!
myController.setAccel 0, 400!
myController.setDecel 0, 400!
myController.doReset 0
‘ Load the move and start it
myController.setMoveR 0, 100
myController.doGo 1, axis0
‘ Wait until move is completed
Do
myController.getIdle 0, isIdle
Loop Until isIdle
4.1
Limitations of PC based applications
There are a number of event handlers available in Mint such as #ONERROR. Only NextMove PCI supports
events to the host. This means that event handlers can be installed in the host application that are called directly
when a Mint event occurs. For other controllers, the event handlers must be placed in a Mint program.
Commands called from the host execute slower than if called directly on the controller. See Appendix 2 for
example timings.
The host functions take priority over the Mint program running on the controller. If MML functions are called
continuously from the host, this will slow the execution speed of the Mint program.
MN1278 05.2001

Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
4.2
Events and Interrupt Control on NextMove PCI
The NextMove PCI controller requires a device driver to be installed on the host PC in order for communication
to be established between it and the controller. The use of device drivers makes it possible for interrupts from the
card to be trapped and handled. The Dual Port RAM interface allows the PC to interrupt the controller and the
controller to interrupts the host. Interrupt handling using the NextMove PCI controller is supported under both
Windows NT and Windows 95 and 98.
4.2.1
Writing and Installing an Interrupt Handler
When the controller interrupts the host PC the device driver will trap the interrupt and determine what ‘type’ of
event has occurred. Following this it will call the appropriate event handler.
NextMove can generate a number of events in response to certain situations:
•
•
•
•
•
Axis idle - an axis has become idle.
CAN 1 (CAN Open) – an event on CAN bus 1
CAN 2 (Baldor CAN) – an event on CAN bus 2
Comms – the comms location 1 to 5 has been written to
DPR event – the user generated a DPR event ( see 4.2.3 Interrupting the Host from a Mint Program (
DPR Events ))
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Errors – an error occurred on the NextMove card
Fast position latch – an axis has latched position
Digital input active – a digital input has become active
Move buffer low - the numbers of moves in a move buffer drops below a specified threshold.
Reset – the NextMove PCI card has reset
Serial receive – the controller has put a character into its pseudo serial transmit buffer.
Stop switch – a stop switch has become active
Timer – the timer event period has expired
The events are prioritised in the following order:
Priority
Event
0: Highest
Serial Receive
Error
CAN 1 (CANOpen)
CAN 2 (Baldor CAN)
Stop switch
1
2
3
4

DPR event
Move Buffer Low
Axis Idle
Note: The reset event is generated if the controller resets, hence this is not generated by the firmware and
is consequently not subject to the priority scheme.
The NextMove PCI controller will check for a pending event every 2ms. If multiple events occur within a 2ms
tick, then the above priority system will be used to decide which event to generate. A higher priority event will
interrupt a lower priority event. Each event is processed within a separate thread by the host PC application. If
more than one event is active on the host PC they will execute concurrently.
In order for an event to be generated the, the appropriate event handler must be installed.
The event handlers are installed with the following functions in C++:
Axis Idle
The install function for axis idle events, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the handler is
uninstalled.
typedef void TAxisIdleEventHandler (void *pController, __int16 nAxisBitPattern)

The install function for CAN events on bus 2, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the
handler is uninstalled.
typedef void TCANEventHandler (void *pController)

Errors
The install function for error events, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the handler is
uninstalled.
typedef void TErrorEventHandler (void *pController)

handler is uninstalled.
typedef void TFastInEventHandler (void *pController)
__int16 installFastInEventHandler (TFastInEventHandler *pHandler)
Digital Input
The install function for digital input events, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the
handler is uninstalled.
typedef void TInputEventHandler (void *pController,
__int16 nBank, __int32 lActivatedInputs)
__int16 installInputEventHandler (TInputEventHandler *pHandler)
Move Buffer Low
The install function for move-buffer-low events, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the
handler is uninstalled.
typedef void TMoveBufferLowEventHandler (void *pController, __int16 nAxisBitPattern)
__int16 installMoveBufferLowEventHandler (TMoveBufferLowEventHandler *pHandler)
Reset
The install function for reset events, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the handler is
uninstalled.
typedef void TResetEventHandler (void *pController, __int16 nCode)
__int16 installResetEventHandler (TResetEventHandler *pHandler)

handler is uninstalled.
typedef void TSerialReceiveEventHandler (void *pController)
__int16 installSerialReceiveEventHandler (TSerialReceiveEventHandler *pHandler)
40

Stop Switch
The install function for stop switch events, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the handler
is uninstalled.
typedef void TStopSwitchEventHandler (void *pController)
__int16 installStopSwitchEventHandler (TStopSwitchEventHandler *pHandler)
Timer
The install function for timer events, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the handler is
uninstalled. The parameter passed to the event handler is always zero.
typedef void TTimerEventHandler (void *pController, __int16 nTimerEvent)
__int16 installTimerEventHandler (TTimerEventHandler *pHandler)
Unknown
The install function for unknown events, it accepts a pointer to a function, if this is a NULL pointer the handler is
uninstalled.
typedef void TUnknownEventHandler (void *pController, __int16 nCode)
__int16 installUnknownEventHandler (TUnknownEventHandler *pHandler)
This handler will pick up any otherwise un-handled interrupt codes on the host. Under normal circumstances it
will not be called, as all interrupts will be routed to the appropriate event hander. If this handler is not installed
then unknown interrupts will be discarded.
Example:
The following code sample will install a timer event handler.
// prototypes
void cdecl FAR myTimerEventHandler (void *p, __int16 nTimerEventNumber);
// main program
void main ( void )
{
// Create an instance of the CNextMovePCI class
CNextMovePCI1 myPCI ( 0, 0 );
// install timer event handler
myPCI.installTimerEventHandler ( myTimerEventHandler ));
myPCI.setTimerEvent(1000); // set periodic timer event to 1000ms
while(1) {
myPCI.setRelay(0, 1);
myPCI.doWait(500);
myPCI.setRelay(0, 0);
myPCI.doWait(500);
// Turn the main board relay on
// Wait for 500 ms
// Turn the main board relay off
// Wait for 500 ms
}
}
MN1278 05.2001
41
Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
// timer event handler
void myTimerEventHandler ( void *p, __int16 nTimerEventNumber )
{
cout << "Timer Event” << endl;
}
When a host PC event handler is called, the embedded application running on the controller will continue to
execute.
4.2.2
Event Control Functions
There are various functions that can be used to control events generation. These are detailed below
The user can read which events are currently active using the function:
getEventActive
Any currently pending events can be cleared selectively using the function:
setEventPending
This accepts the same bit pattern as above, clearing a set bit will clear the pending flag for that event. Hence
passing a value of zero will clear all pending interrupts.
Once a handler has been installed the event generation can be disabled by using the function:
setEventDisable
This function accepts a bit pattern as above. Setting a bit will disable the generation of that type of event. Hence
setting this to zero will enable all events which have a handler installed.
The function:
getEventDisable
Will return a bit pattern of any currently disabled interrupts.
By default all digital inputs will generate events when they become active. These digital inputs can be masked so
that they do not generate events using the function:
setIMask
This function accepts a bit pattern which represents all digital inputs, it the bit is set then the digital input will
generate an event when the input becomes active.
Then function:
getIMask
Will return a bit pattern representing those digital inputs which will generate an event when they become active.
42

PC Based Motion Control
4.2.3
Interrupting the Host from a Mint Program ( DPR Events )
Events can be manually generated in both directions using the function doDPREvent and the DPREvent handler.
If the host PC calls doDPREvent, this will generate an interrupt to the controller that will call the DPREvent
handler on the controller.
If the controller calls the function doDPREvent, this will generate an interrupt to the host PC that will call the
DPREvent handler on the host PC.
The function doDPREvent accepts an 8 bit code which is passed to the event handler.
Example:
The below code sample will install a DPREvent handler on the host, when a DPREvent is received the code is
printed.
// prototypes
void myDPREventHandler (void *p, __int16 nCode);
// main program
void main(void)
{
// Create an instance of the CNextMovePCI class
CNextMovePCI1 myPCI(0, 0);
// install timer event handler
myPCI.installDPREventHandler ( myDPREventHandler ));
}
// DPREvent handler
void myDPREventHandler (void *p, __int16 nCode)
{
cout << "DPR Event ” << nCode << endl;
}
When this application is running on the host PC, calling DPREVENT from either Mint or an embedded
application will generate an interrupt to the PC calling the DPREvent handler.
4.2.4
Handling Events Using the ActiveX Control
As the ActiveX control supports all events; hence, any application that can use the ActiveX control can trap and
handle events from the controller. This allows event handling using Visual Basic and Delphi.
Once the ActiveX Control has been included in the project, the event handlers are accessed as ActiveX events.
The functions listed below are used to tell the controller that a handler exists on the host PC and events of this
type should be generated.
installAxisIdleEventHandler
installCAN1EventHandler
installCAN2EventHandler
installCommsEventHandler
installDPREventHandler

Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
installErrorEventHandler
installFastInEventHandler
installInputEventHandler
installMoveBufferLowEventHandler
installSerialReceiveEventHandler
installStopSwitchEventHandler
installResetEventHandler
installTimerEventHandler
installUnknownEventHandler
The passed parameter is a BOOLEAN parameter.
•
•
TRUE indicates that a handler exists on the host PC
FALSE indicates that a handler does not exist on the host PC.
VisualBasic Example:
Create a MintController object called ‘nmPCI’.
in the Form_Load function add:
nmPCI.setNextMovePCI1Link 0, 0
nmPCI.installTimerEventHandler TRUE
nmPCI.setTimerEvent 1000
Double click on the MintController object and select the TimerEventHandler function, add the code:
Dim b As Boolean
nmPCI.getRelay 0, b
If b Then
nmPCI.setRelay 0, 0
Else
nmPCI.setRelay 0, 1
End If
When the timer event is generated on the controller, this will interrupt the host PC and create a timer event. This
is trapped by the ActiveX control and executes the code in the timer event.
In this example the timer event is set to trigger every second, the code within the timer event handler will toggle
the state of the relay.

NextMove PCI and Non-Microsoft Operating
Systems
This chapter details how to use the NextMove PCI with operating systems
other than Windows NT and Windows 9x.

Mint v4 PC Programming Guide
This Chapter covers implementing an interface to NextMove PCI in under an operating system other than the
systems supported by the standard Baldor Motion Toolkit for example QNX, Linux etc.
A special version of the CNextMovePCI1 class has been written. This class (called CSimplePCI) provides all the
functions required except the actual hardware interface functions, which must be provided by the user.
5.1
How to Recognize the NextMove PCI.
To find the NextMove PCI, the computer’s PCI controller must be interrogated. The method for this will differ
between operating systems. Each PCI device can be recognized by its Vendor ID and Device ID. For a
NextMove PCI the following applies:
Vendor ID = 145F(Hex)
Device ID = 0001.
5.2
Host Accessible Hardware on NextMove PCI.
The are three blocks of hardware which can be accessed on NextMove PCI. One of these is mapped into both
memory and IO space, so it appears as if there are four blocks which can be accessed.
Block

Map type Description
1
128 bytes
Memory
This is NextMove’s PCI chip (also referred to as the PLX chip.) It
controls the hardware reset and interrupt lines.
This is also the PCI controller chip, but mapped into IO space, not
memory.
2

I/O
3
4
16K
32 bytes
Memory
I/O
This is the Dual Port RAM.
This is currently unused.
Of these, the two memory mapped areas ( blocks 1 and 3 ) will be used. Blocks 2 and 4 are can be ignored. The
memory mapped addresses of blocks 1 and 3 should be read from the computers PCI controller. The memory
address of Block 1 must be stored for the functions PLXRead and PLXWrite and the address Block 3 is mapped
into must be stored for use with the functions getLong and setLongInternal.
5.3
The CSimplePCI class.
The CSimplePCI class splits the hardware access functions from the rest of the Mint Interface Library. To use
the class inherit from the CSimplePCI class and supply the virtual functions required (listed below). The easiest
way to do this is to modify the CMySimplePCI example.
46
MN1278 05.2001
NextMove PCI and Non-Micorsoft Operating Systems
5.3.1
The CMySimplePCI Example.
The CMySimplePCI example overloads CSimplePCI to create a class which can be used to communicate with
NextMove PCI under Windows 9X and Windows NT using the CSimplePCI interface. It is laid out in such a
way that the Windows specific code can easily be replaced with code specific to another operating system.
5.3.2
Functions Required by the Overloaded Class.
The CMySimplePCI class declaration is as follows. It shows all the functions required.
#include "simplepci.h"
class CMySimplePCI : public CSimplePCI{
public:
/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* START : These functions MUST be defined.
*/
/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
CMySimplePCI

__int16 getDeviceOpen
__int16 doDeviceOpen
__int16 getLong

( void );
( __int16 nAddress, __int32 FAR *lplValue );
protected:
__int16 InternalSetLong ( __int16 nAddress, __int32 lLong );
__int16 PLXRead
__int16 PLXWrite
( __int16 nRegister, __int32 *plValue );
( __int16 nRegister, __int32 lValue );
/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* END : These functions MUST be defined. */
/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* START : Replace this.

/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
protected:

m_bWinNT; // true : WinNT, false Win9X
HANDLE m_hndFile; // Handle to the device driver.
/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* END : Replace this.

/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
};
The header shows how the code in the CMySimplePCI example is laid out. There are blocks marked with

which show code that is only relevant to the example. This is code that should be replaced with code specific to
that operating system.
Only code in the files MySimplePCI.h and MySimplePCI.cpp should be modified. Do NOT modify
SimplePCI.h and SimplePCI.cpp
Constructor.
A constructor must be supplied. This constructor must call the CSimplePCI constructor, passing the node and
card number. Any other parameters required by the class may be passed. The CMySimplePCI constructor is as
follows

doDeviceOpen ();
}
The constructor should initialize any required data and then call doDeviceOpen() to allow communications with
the controller to start.

MN1278 05.2001
NextMove PCI and Non-Micorsoft Operating Systems
doDeviceClose
This function releases any resources which had been taken by the class.
getDeviceOpen
This function must report whether the class has control of any resources it requires to communicate with the
controller and whether that controller is physically present. In the MySimplePCI example this reports whether it
can communicate with device driver. In Windows 95 on instance of the device driver is created in memory per
device it finds, so if the device driver instance exists in memory, the NextMove PCI is present. Under Windows
NT, there is one device driver to handle all NextMoves, so the device driver must be interrogated to find if that
card number is present.
doDeviceOpen
This function must take any resources required to communicate with the controller. In the MySimplePCI
example, this creates a handle to the device driver.
getLong
This function must read from DPR (block 3 in section 5.2 ) This may take the form of (as in the MySimplePCI
example) instructing the device driver to perform the task. The read should be a simple 32 bit read from the
memory address the DPR has been mapped into (Block 3).
internalSetLong
This function must write to DPR (block 3 in section 5.2). This may take the form of (as in the MyMySimplePCI
example) instructing the device driver to perform the task. The write should be a simple 32 bit write to the
memory address the DPR has been mapped into (Block 3).
PLXRead
This function must read from the PLX chip (Block 3 in section 5.2) This may take the form of (as in the
MySimplePCI example) instructing the device driver to perform the task. The read should be a simple 32 bit
read from the memory address the PLX chip has been mapped into (Block 1).
PLXWrite
This function must write to the PLX chip (Block 3 in section 5.2 ) This may take the form of (as in the
MySimplePCI example) instructing the device driver to perform the task. The write should be a simple 32 bit
write to the memory address the PLX chip has been mapped into (Block 1).
5.3.3
Files to Include in a CSimplePCI Derived Class Project.
The following Mint Interface Library files must be included in the project:
•
•
•
•
base.cpp
mml.cpp
nmbase.cpp

Appendix 1: DPR Map
Appendix 1: DPR Map
Each area of the address map is described below. Where an address is shown, that is the DPR location. Where
an address offset is shown, that offset is added to the base address. Floating point numbers will conform to C31
format. It is up to the PC interface to convert to IEEE format before passing the data to the PC application.
Likewise, IEEE floating point numbers must be converted to C31 format before writing to the DPR. All library
functions do this automatically.
•
•
The update time on NextMove is 2ms.
Where units are shown, the key is as follows:
uu
- user units
uu/s
au
- user units / second
- analogue units. (See ADCMode keyword for explanation of ranges)
%
- percentage
cts
- encoder counts
•
All addresses and address offsets are in hex.
6.1
NextMove PCI DPR Map
Dual Port RAM on NextMove PCI has 4K of 32 bit data. The DPR map is similar to NextMove PC but certain
areas are designated as read only. This means that if the user tries to write to these locations, the data may be
corrupted.
The Dual Port RAM on NextMove PCI is 32 bit rather than the 16 bit wide DPR on NextMove PC, hence 32 bit
values on will use two 16 bit DPR locations. In order for the memory map of DPR to be consistent between the
two controllers where 32 bit values are stored, NextMove PCI will have a redundant location.

MML Build ID:
The build identifier of the Mint Motion Library running on NextMove. Each version of the Mint Interface
Library can only communicate with one version of Mint. To make sure the versions match, each version of Mint
has a build number embedded in it. To return the build number call getAAABuild.
Timer Tick:
This is a free running 16bit counter that is updated by NextMove once every 2ms and can be used to synchronize
data with the DPR.
Mint Line Number:
This is the currently executing Mint program line. By reading this location, it is possible to trace program
execution without affecting program flow unlike Mints built in program tracer. The Mint status flag should be
read to determine which buffer is currently being executed.
Mint Status:
The Mint Status flag consists of various bit masks for status information. The top 8 bits convey the current Mint
error status. If a programming error occurs that results in the termination of a program, the top 8 bits will reflect
the error. The Mint Line Number register will determine the line on which the error occurred.

Comms Array
The Comms area simulates protected Comms communications on serial based controllers. The Comms array
uses an area of DPR from address 0x1D6 to 0x29A. The data is accessed as:
Address Comms Location

0x1D8
0x1DA
…..
location 1
location 2
location 3
0x298
0x29A

Each location is a float value. The area is the same as NextMove PC at 99 locations. Comms is accessed using
the COMMS keyword in MINT or the getComms()/setComms() functions.
6.7
Immediate Command Mode
The ICM area is used for the transfer of Motion Generator commands
The start of the ICM area is 0x130 and has the symbolic constant roFRONT_START.

Pseudo Serial Interface
The serial interface works by implementing a 64 word circular buffer within DPR. There is one such buffer for
the receive buffer and one for the transmit buffer. Head and tail pointers are also located in DPR allowing both
sides of DPR to check the status of the buffers.
The serial interface occupies DPR locations 0x150 to 0x1D5 in the following configuration:
0x85

The buffer itself has two sets of symbolic constants, depending on which side, NextMove or host, that is using
them.

The way in which dual port RAM is used may vary from application to application. All applications should use
the registers detailed in this document in the same way. This will allow host resident code to determine whether
it recognizes the application and the protocol used for communication.
There is no hardware restriction upon those locations that may be read or written from either side. Both
NextMove and the host have full read and write access to all locations.
Application Code Register (3FB)
This register identifies the software running on NextMove. The host may use this to determine how to
communicate with the software or better interpret the bits within the Functionality Code Register. Each
application program should have a unique identifier. Of the 65536 possible codes, the first half are reserved.
Codes 32768 to 65535 may be used to identify user programs. Application programs should prime this register
after all other initialization. It is recommended that the host does not write to this location.

Functionality Code Register (3FC)
This register describes the capabilities of the software running on NextMove. The register may be used by a host
to determine how it should communicate with the software, what data is stored in dual port RAM, etc. The
register contains a series of bits each of which indicate whether a specific feature is supported. The table below
describes the current list of standard application capabilities. It is expected that this list will grow over time.
Application programs should set the relevant bits in this register after all other initialization.
It is recommended that the host does not write to this location.

Scratchpad Register (3FD)
This register is a general purpose register used only by the host. It is only written to by the Loader immediately
after reset when it is cleared to zero. It may be used by the host to determine that a NextMove may be installed
on the bus. As NextMove will not write to this location the host can write codes and read them back in the
knowledge that they should not have changed. After use by the PC host, the scratchpad should be returned to the
value it originally contained.
It is recommended that NextMove application programs do not write to this register.

Data Synchronization
It may be desirable to prevent NextMove PC and PCI from updating the DPR update area for a period to allow a
‘snap-shot’ of DPR to be taken. The status and control registers provide a mechanism for this. It is supported by
the function lockDPR. This function can be used to
•
•
request that DPR not be updated by Mint
inform Mint that it can now update MML.
Note that locking DPR can take up to two milliseconds to complete.
Note: lockDPR can also be used to speed up code running on NextMove, as NextMove will not have to
update the MML area of DPR.

Appendix 2: Timings
Appendix 2: Timings
These timings show the time taken to call Immediate Command Mode (ICM) functions from a host. The tests
were performed on a 300 MHz Pentium II PC. On both MintDrive and NextMove PCI the timings were the same
on Windows 95 and Windows NT.

This is the speed for a function called from a C++ application with the Baldor Motion Toolkit C++ source code
compiled into the project. Using the ActiveX interface adds approximately 1ms to each function call. This can
be reduced by setting the ‘DCOM and Events Enabled’ property to false. This makes ActveX access times
approximately equal to the C++ times but you cannot use events from NextMove PCI.
