111 B.2.3 Configuring nodes A node must be assigned a unique node number. On Baldor controllers, the node number and CANbaud rate can be set using the NODE and CANBAUD Mint keywords. For example the following commands change the controller’s node number to 12 and the baud rate to 500Kbaud: NODE = 12...

112 Alternatively, the NODELIVE and NODETYPE keywords can be used within a Mint program to return the same information. The following commands will get information about node 2: ? NODELIVE.1.2? NODETYPE.1.2 When a node has been successfully scanned it can be removed from the bus by setting the node ...

113 B.2.7 Monitoring CAN events When a node’s status changes (live or dead for example), it will generate a CAN message to inform thenetwork manager of the change. The network manager will then generate a Mint event. The type ofevents that are supported on the CAN bus 1 are listed below: Event Numbe...

114 B.2.8 Controller nodes Each controller node on the network contains its own comms array, which provides a convenientmethod of transferring data between controller nodes on the bus. The meaning of the data, which ispassed between the controllers is determined by the application (Mint) program.For...

117 The Mint keyword REMOTEADCDELTA can also be used to reduce the amount of CAN traffic. This keyword allows the user to specify an amount by which an analog input must change (delta) beforea CAN message is generated. The value used will depend on the type of node; please refer to themanufacturer’s...

118 In addition to being able to set data on the HMI from a Baldor controller, the HMI panel can set its owndata, the nature of which is determined when the user designs their own HMI project using the HMIOperator Panel design software. The HMI communicates its own changes to the MintDrive using CAN...

121 B.3.5 Node IDs Each CAN peripheral must be given a unique “node ID” within the network.The node ID, which is just a number, is used to ensure that a node only responds to messagesintended for it. The node ID does not have to reflect the order in which the nodes are physicallyconnected in the net...
