Manuals - look at Fanuc that's what controls it, standard industy stuff with very little memory by todays standards

I think theres an electronic lump bolted up by the back of spindle under the end cover that connects onto that

I don't think they ever fitter a fanuc spindle motor, mine cerrtainly doesn't have one
