9. SPINDLE SPEED FUNCTION
1042
The spindle interfaces for both tool posts are used.
The spindle command select signals SLSPA <G063#2> and SLSPB
<G063#3> (input) specify the tool post whose spindle command is to be
followed by each spindle.
When the serial spindles are used on both tool posts, the position coder
feedback signals SLPCA<G064#2> and SLPCB<G064#3> (input) direct
each tool post to select which spindle’s position coder feedback signal is
used. Therefore, it is possible to use the spindle of the other system; for
example, tool post 1 can perform thread cutting or feed per rotation using
the spindle connected to tool post 2.
