Mint

– The Programming

Language for Automation

BASIC – the de-facto Programming Language

With nearly two decades of history, Mint

was designed

from the outset around the BASIC programming language.

It was understood then, and is still true today, that BASIC is

the de-facto programming language around the world. Now

in its fifth generation, Mint fully embraces all the modern

BASIC programming functionality including features such as

multitasking, functions and subroutines, data types and local

data. This functionality makes it simple to write and develop

modular programs that are easily understood by others, easily

maintained and easily re-used across different applications.

Mint’s new Code Library makes code re-use even easier by

allowing snippets of code to be stored and used for other

projects. This is just one of the many features in the Mint

development tool, Mint WorkBench, which are designed to get

you up and running quickly.

More than just motion control

Mint excels in motion control applications, but is equally at

home in HMI interaction, communications, I/O

handling and complex mathematical

functions. While some choose a

standard ‘open’ PLC language

platform that offers a ‘standard’

set of motion features, those

looking for an edge will

find it in the advanced

motion capabilities of

Mint. Many industries at

the cutting edge of motion

control realize this and find

PLC technology limited in its

capabilities for motion control.

Realizing that today’s applications are more demanding, more

precise, more dynamic and more complex, Mint focuses on

providing creative features, advanced motion capabilities and

features for the user to innovate in the application solution.

Multitasking Streamlines Program Flow

With many devices to control and machine functions to

coordinate, it often helps to be able to structure code into

specific tasks and allocate them resource dynamically at

runtime. Multitasking is one of the key features of Mint.

Numerous software tasks can be written, initiated, suspended,

terminated and prioritized at will, to optimize workflow and

improve machine performance. In its simplest form consider

that separate program tasks can be allocated to functions of

motion control, HMI interaction, I/O control, communications and

much more, producing a structured programming solution and

ensuring more dynamic program flow.
