INTERFACE IAxisBridgeBuilder

Interface to build a bridge between communication interfaces (AxisComPublish and AxisComSubscribe) and an implementation of an Axis/Drive. Not all axis implementation implement all features that the Zeugwerk Framework implements. Most notably, Vfd drives usually do not implement positioning interfaces. Use the "With methods" to build a control instance in the following way. In the following example the actual datatype of axis refers to a specific implementation, which implements all features of the Framework. Note that some calls to With may not be supported for the specific implementation that you are using. In the latter case remove the relevant `"With methods".
