ShopMill supports analog spindles with transmitter during thread tapping.
Analog spindles must be used together with a compensation chuck.
The machine axis index of the analog spindle must be entered in MD 9426
$MM_MA_AX_DRIVELOAD_FROM_PLC1 or
MD 9427 $MM_MA_AX_DRIVELOAD_FROM_PLC2.
The channel index of the spindle is located in the display machine data 9705
$MM_CMM_INDEX_SPINDLE. If the respective machine axis index corresponds
to one of the two machine data 9426 or 9427, ShopMill recognizes the spindle as
an analog spindle. Whether the analog spindle features a transmitter can be
determined by means of MD 30200 $MA_NUM_ENCS (0 = no transmitter).
