Example: configuring and programming several spindles

3 spindles

Initialization in the axis parameter list

achs_typ     0x00004 Spindle
achs_mode    0x40000 Externally controlled spindle
antr_typ     0x00004 Simulation

Initialization in the channel parameter list

spdl_anzahl             3
main_spindle_ax_nr      6
main_spindle_name       S
spindel[0].bezeichnung  S1
spindel[0].log_achs_nr  6

The spindle "S1" with the logical axis number 6 is defined as the main spindle. It is addressed via the spindle name "S". The spindles with logical axis numbers 11 and 30 are programmed via their designations "S2" and "S3".
