Adding Maguire Controllers to G2
You must add your Maguire controllers to the G2
software. G2 will not auto-detect WSBs, LIWs or MGFs.
This is done in the Edit / Blenders Screen of the G2
Client program. In the G2 Client menu, select Edit, then
Blenders.
In the Blender Edit Screen, you will add one blender, LIW
or MGF at a time. Enter the ID number of the Blender in
the Blender ID field.
For Blenders select Blender Type of either 4-Software or
12-Software. Be sure to specify the correct software type
as this will match recipe types to blender software types.
Serial Only: Blenders communicating by Serial (MLAN),
click
Add/Update .
For blenders connected to an Ethernet Network, check
the box TCP/IP Access and enter the IP address
assigned to the blender. Blenders with built-in Ethernet,
use port 9999. Blenders using an Ethernet to serial
converter will probably use a different port. Refer to the
converter's instructions for port number.
After IP and port have been entered click
Add/Update .
Successful communication can be verified by highlighting the blender in the list. State
should show "Online". Parameters may also be displayed. The G2 Server will also
display the status of the blenders as they are added.
Blender Status (State):

Online - G2 is communicating with the Blender

Offline - G2 was communicating with the blender at one time, but not currently.

Not Initialized - G2 never established communication with the blender.
Additional Notes:
Communication by serial (MLAN) will route through the G2-SA (G2-SK, MLAN-SA) "black
box". When communication is active, the red LEDs will blink. Left LED is communication
sending commands, right LED is the response from the blender.
Troubleshooting: Check settings in controller (ID number, IP address). Ethernet
communications, try command line ping of blender IP address. All wiring should avoid
vacuum loader lines, high voltage lines, motors, transformers. Ethernet to serial converters,
check settings of converter. Serial communication, check serial (MLAN) line integrity.
