    Yes to just start and stop the Spindle then it's easy. Like Freddie says the G540 has 2 outputs which can switch upto 1A and 50V can be used to switch Relay coils ON/OFF. Most relays coils are in the milliamp range and you'd probably use 5v, 12v or 24V dependant on what's easily available to you.? . . . . Very easy to wire but best ask again when you are ready to do this.!

    If you want to control speed has well then it's not so easy.!! While the G540 outputs 0-10V Analog speed control signal you will still need a speed controller that uses this signal. For this your best option is the Super PID and it will help increase torque has well.!!
