5.2 Mint Machine Center
The Mint Machine Center (MMC) is used to view the network of connected controllers in a
system. Individual controllers and drives are configured using Mint WorkBench.
Note: If you have only a single NextMove ESB-2 connected to your PC, then MMC is
probably not required. Use Mint WorkBench (see section 5.4) to configure the
NextMove ESB-2.
Figure 31: The Mint Machine Center software
The Mint Machine Center (MMC) provides an overview of the controller network currently
accessible by the PC. The MMC contains a controller pane on the left, and an information
pane on the right. In the controller pane select the Host item, then in the information pane
click Scan. This causes MMC to scan for all connected controllers. Clicking once on a
controller's name causes various options to be displayed in the information pane. Double-
clicking on a controller's name launches an instance of Mint WorkBench that is automatically
connected to the controller.
Application View allows the layout and organization of controllers in your machine to be
modelled and described on screen. Controllers can be dragged onto the Application View
icon, and renamed to give a more meaningful description, for example "Conveyor 1,
Packaging Controller". Drives that are controlled by another product, such as
NextMove ESB-2, can be dragged onto the NextMove ESB-2 icon itself, creating a visible
representation of the machine. A text description for the system and associated files can be
added, and the resulting layout saved as an ‘MMC Workspace’. When you next need to
administer the system, simply loading the workspace automatically connects to all the
required controllers. See the Mint help file for full details of MMC.
