Example: configuring a two-channel system with three spindles

Channel 1

Initialization in the channel parameter list (channel 1):

3 spindles. The spindle with axis number 11 (S2) is to be the main spindle.

Both channels can address the spindle with the logical axis number 11 as the main spindle via the spindle name "S". It can be programmed in conventional DIN syntax or in spindle-specific syntax. The spindle "S1" can also be programmed from both channels in spindle-specific syntax. Spindle "S3" is only available in channel 1; this spindle is unknown in channel 2.
