NOTE
These objects are only used for replacing the previous MLG version with an MLG-2. Do
not use these objects to implement new applications with the MLG-2.
7.3.4.1 Beam status with 8-bit length
NOTE
The modules with 8-bit length can be used to output the beam statuses of a maximum
of 240 beams.
Table 63: Beam status
Access Data type Description
R UINT-8 These modules transfer the status of the
beams of the MLG-2.
Byte 0: bit 0 = beam 8 … bit 7 = beam 1.
Byte 1: bit 0 = beam 16 … bit 7 = beam 9.
…
Byte 29: bit 0 = beam 240 … bit 7 = beam
233.
7.3.4.2 Beam functions with 8-bit length
To replace the existing MLG PROFIBUS, the MLG-2 supports the output of beam func‐
tions and beam status with 8-bit length.
8Bit – NBB (Number of Beams Blocked)
Table 64: NBB
Access Data type Description
R UINT-8 This module transfers the number of blocked
beams.
8Bit – NBM (Number of Beams Made)
Table 65: NBM
Access Data type Description
R UINT-8 This module transfers the number of beams
made.
8Bit – FBB (First Beam Blocked)
Table 66: FBB
Access Data type Description
R UINT-8 This module transfers the number of the first
beam blocked.
8Bit – FBM (First Beam Made)
Table 67: FBM
Access Data type Description
R UINT-8 This module transfers the number of the first
beam made.
