6.18.1 Configuring spindles
The MANUALplus 620 basically treats spindles like axes, i.e. just like the axes
in the system, also a spindle has a logical axis number. The spindle key names
and axis key names must therefore be entered in CfgAxes/axisList.
The logical spindle number is additionally specified with MP_spindleIndices.
The spindle key name's place in the list in MP_spindleIndices defines the
programmable spindle number used by the PLC to identify the spindle.
Spindles are indicated by sequential numbering starting from the index [0].
The key names shown in the selection menu of the MP_spindleIndices
parameter are automatically taken from the MP_CfgAxes/axisList parameter.
Select the key name(s) of the spindle(s) from the menu.
