冝 Control of 4 stepper axes and either 3 or 4 servo axes (model dependent).
冝 Additional encoder input for master follower applications.
冝 A wide variety of motion types including point to point moves, software cams and
gearing.
冝 20 general purpose digital inputs, software configurable as level or edge triggered.
冝 12 general purpose digital outputs.
冝 2 differential analog inputs with 12-bit resolution.
冝 4 single-ended analog outputs with 12-bit resolution.
冝 USB 1.1 serial port (compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0).
冝 CANopen protocol for communication with Mint controllers and other third party
CANopen devices.
冝 Programmable in Mint.
