8. Communication with machine control unit
Systems in the DigitalSuper series are
equipped with a fieldbus interface.
Design UFD10-1-1XX000 and UFD20-1-
10X000 have a PROFIBUS interface, and
design UFD10-1-2XX000 has a PROFINET
interface.
On both fieldbus systems, communication is
performed using two output and input bytes
per aerosol generator. A process image with
analog value transmission is also available
that transmits digitalized data from the MQL
system to the machine tool via additional
input words (16-bit integer values) (see
Chapter 7.1.1.6).
To allow the MQL system to exchange data
with the machine tool’s control unit via PRO-
FIBUS or PROFINET, the MQL system must
be integrated into the machine’s software.
To do this, import the corresponding GSD or
GSDML file into the machine’s configuration
software. The current GSD and GSDML files
can be downloaded from:

8.1.1 Implementation in a
PROFIBUS network
MQL system designs
UFD10-1-1XX000 and
UFD20-1-10X000 are integrated into the
PROFIBUS network via a model PDP22
fieldbus plug (FBP). FieldBusPlug is a mod-
ular I/O slave on the PROFIBUS with one
slot that is occupied by the MQL system.
The GSD file is imported into the customer’s
Field Device Tool (FDT) and integrated into
the MQL system on the computer’s network
by selecting “FieldBusPlug PDP22.”
The bus address then needs to be assigned
to the MQL system.
Select the MQL system in use from the ob-
ject list of FieldBusPlug PDP22.
