Accessories for MintDrive™
CANbus Accessories
The MintDrive™ features two CANbus ports. One is
used for connecting to Baldor’s I/O modules and
operator panel the second is used to connect to third
party CAN open I/O devices. These accessories offer
connection simplicity and a fast and reliable method of
expanding the capabilities of the MintDrive.
CANbus is a high integrity, two wire serial link that
transfers data at rates up to 1M bit/second over a
distance of 40m/130ft (1000m/3200ft at
50Kbit/second). With just a twisted pair, machine
wiring costs, material and installation, can be greatly
reduced. At the same time, the reduced number of
wires can provide greater machine reliability.
CAN port 1 supports the CAN open protocol for peer
to peer messaging between multiple MintDrives, and
for control of third party I/O modules.
The MintDrive supports the following Baldor CANbus
accessories on CAN port 2.
8 digital input modules
8 digital output modules
8 relay output modules
24 input, 24 output modules
Operator panels (maximum of 4)
A maximum of 63 Baldor CANbus accessories may
be connected to MintDrive.
Each Baldor CANbus accessory has two RJ45
CANbus connectors which are electrically identical.
This allows several modules to be ‘daisy chained’
using Baldor’s point to point cable assemblies. I/O
modules can be DIN rail mounted for easy installation.
