# Configuration of spindles

This section describes the elements for configuring spindles. Note that only the spindles entered in the channel parameter list can also be addressed in the part program. This applies not only to position-controlled spindles but also to speed-controlled (PLC) spindles.

The spindle configuration defined in the channel parameter list is the default setting which is provided after the controller is started up. See also the section 'Spindle programming' in [PROG].
