A spindle assembly includes a power source interface configured to be operably coupled to a power bus and power the spindle assembly via the power bus, a spindle controller comprising processing circuitry, a diagnostic switch assembly operably coupled to the spindle controller and operably coupled to a logic supply bus, and a working apparatus comprising a motor and a spindle operably coupled to the spindle controller. The working apparatus may be controllable by the spindle controller to act upon a work piece to perform a work task. The processing circuitry of the spindle controller may be configured to receive a fault localization instruction from a bus control device operably coupled to the logic supply bus, and control the diagnostic switch assembly to determine a presence and a location of a fault on the logic supply bus.
