PLC spindle
The PLC spindle is controlled by the PLC.
The spindle axis is configured and parameterised like an NC spindle. Since no real drive is supplied by the NC, the "simulation" or "virtual" drive type must be selected.
PLC spindles are commanded with speed or position commands by the CNC via the PLC interface (HLI). Control takes place by the PLC. The CNC merely receives an acknowledgement for M functions output to the spindle.
