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