Mint WorkBench

Mint® WorkBench is a Windows front end which is common across Baldor’s range of motion controllers and servo drives. Used as
a commissioning and setup tool, the tuning wizard allows you to tune a motor in minutes.
Mint WorkBench offers an easy to use Windows development front end for Mint programming, with its color highlighting of keywords and context sensitive help. The Program Navigator makes it a breeze to navigate and organize the source code, no matter how complicated
The Mint Machine Center provides a machine view with easy connectivity to any attached controller or drive.

Features include:

• Full screen editor with color syntax highlighting of Mint keywords
• Command line interface to interrogate the controller even when the program is running
• Spy window to monitor common motion variables and I/O
• Software oscilloscope - digital capture of 6 channels.
• Watch window for monitoring variables and tasks
• SupportMe function with automatic email generation for rapid technical support
• Web updates of firmware within the Mint WorkBench
• Easy management of firmware files
• Commissioning Wizard for step by step setup of drive, motor and control parameters.
• Network Wizard for step by step setup of Ethernet Powerlink networks.

Mint Machine Center is a Windows application giving a machine centric overview of Baldor drives and motion controllers.
A graphical tree-view interface represents all connected devices within a Mint network configuration. Devices can
be added offline and the design implemented later, or the system simply scanned and devices detected. This network
view is useful for visualizing all devices and starting commissioning. The application view allows you to group
devices into a logical order other than address or type sequence of the network view. By allowing group names to
be defined and each device given a logical name, you can create a custom view of the system which represents

Making configuration changes to any device is simple. Click on the device icon, within the network or application
view, to launch the Mint Workbench directly connected to that device. Wizards, auto-tuning, and online help have
been designed to guide you through the process of device configuration.

MMC allows you to create document links to any related documents such as specifications, images, web links,
user manuals and reports. These describe the application design and simultaneously document the system as part of
the project file.
