Control topology

Fig.1: Integration of spindles in the NC control topology

• Spindles are configured as NC or PLC spindles via axis parameter lists [AXIS].
• Via the channel parameter list [CHAN], the spindles needed for the NC channel are selected out of the available spindles and are parameterized.
• Spindles can be commanded via the user interface (NC program or HMI) or via the interface to the PLC (HLI).

Fig.2: Every NC channel can be configured for access to all available spindles.
