Communications 

The WSB 4088 Touchscreen controller communicates two protocols, Modbus TCP and MLAN TCP.   

Modbus  TCP 

–  Modbus  TCP  is  the  primary  communication  protocol  for  PLC  communication  to  the 

Maguire  Blenders.        Modbus  TCP  must  be  enabled  at  the  controller  and  uses  the  IP  Address  to 
communicate over port 502.   For more information on Modbus TCP, see the Maguire Modbus register 
mapping document.  

MLAN Protocol (Maguire Local Area Network) 

– MLAN is a protocol consisting of commands that allows 

two-way communications to the Maguire Weigh Scale Blenders. All Maguire Weigh Scale Blenders dated 
back to 1992 contain the essential MLAN commands for basic control and data collection while newer 
Maguire controllers contain additional commands for enhanced control and data collection. The MLAN 
Protocol was initially intended to provide information for individuals who are writing software for PLCs 
and needed to communicate with the Maguire Weigh Scale Blender. This legacy protocol is the method 
used by our G2 Software as well as the OPC (Kepware, Dimension Software and Software Toolbox). 
The  Protocol  is  available  for  free  and  is  explained  in  detail  in  our  MLAN  Protocol  Manual.    MLAN 
communications use the ID number and IP address to communicate over port 9999.  Configuration of 
the ID number and IP address must be setup in the controller.  See the MLAN Protocol Manual for more 
information. 

 

 

MLAN communications over Ethernet (includes G2, OPC and direct MLAN) use 
port 9999 to communicate. 
 
Modbus communications, when enabled (see below), use port 502.
