Product OverviewThe MLAN Gateway has been designed to connect to a 10BaseT Ethernet network. Connectingto a company or factory network utilising other Ethernet wirings standards (e.g. 10Base2,10Base5, 100BaseT etc.) can be achieved by the use of hubs.External / Internal Gateway SpecificationsGeneralPower RequirementsExternal SizeH90 x W105 x D60mmMountingDirect onto 35mm DIN railNetwork Interface 10BaseT EthernetHost InterfaceMLANOperating Temperature 0-55 °COperating Humidity 30-90% non-condensingSupply Voltage5 – 24Volts dcMaximum Power2 WattsOperation – MLAN GatewayPower Requirements – External Units OnlyThe External MLAN Gateway unit requires 5 to 24 Volts DC to be connected via the 3-way plugin connector.LED OperationThe 2 (yellow & green) front LEDs represents the Ethernet network status and have the followingmeaning.Ethernet State:Network TrafficEthernet Link Active (i.e. connected)LED Colour:YellowGreenThe 2 (yellow & green) LEDs within the gateway represent the Comms status between the MLANunit and Ethernet gateway and have the following meaning.MLAN Comms State:Data Traffic from Ethernet gateway to MLANData Traffic from MLAN to Ethernet gatewayLED Colour:YellowGreenInstallation – Default IP AddressThe Gateway is shipped with a default IP address and subnet mask. Use of a nodecommissioningsoftware tool provided with the Gateway allows the user to set the IP address andsubnet mask to the required values for the network. This configuration information is stored innon-volatile memory on the Gateway.4

Ethernet ConnectorThe Ethernet connector on the Gateway is located on the left hand side of the unit in the form ofa standard 8-Way RJ45 connector. This connector contains the transformer isolation and filteringcompliant with the Ethernet 10BaseT specification.When utilizing the Internal MLAN Gateway Card this replaces the standard RS232 Serial Port.5

Programming OverviewIntroductionThis manual is intended to provide information for individuals who are writing software forProgrammable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and need to communicate with the Maguire WeighScale Blender.For a complete understanding of the operation of the Weigh Scale Blender (WSB), it isrecommended that you have the four and / or twelve component controller manual(s) availableas a reference.Likewise if you require additional information on the Maguire Blender MLAN CommunicationProtocol then please refer to the MLAN Protocol manual.Both of these manuals are available to download from the Maguire website at www.maguire.comalongside other useful documents and product information.All numbers in this document are assumed to be decimal (base 10) unless otherwise noted.Programming ConsiderationsThe software type within the blender controller must be determined before commencingprogramming. There are 2 options for the type of software, either 4 software or 12 software.There are three ways to determine the controller’s software type:1. The simplest and quickest method is to turn the blender controller off and on again. Youwill either see “TWELVE” or “FOUR”.If the controller is very old, look at the number that appears on the display during powerup. This number will have a “T” on the end of it if it is twelve component software. Ifthere is some other letter present, the controller has four component software.2. Use the command “Get Settings from Weigh Scale” command code 203. Use the command “Get Weigh Scale Type” command code 49Messages and responses are different according to which type of software is used. For example,the “Send Settings to the Weigh Scale” command (command code 19) has different formats foreach software type.Finally, the blender series must be known. Blender load cells read in either tenths of grams orwhole grams. These are as follows:• Load Cells for the Micro blender, 100 and 200 series of blenders read in tenths of grams.• Load Cells for the 400, 900, and 1800 series of blenders read in whole grams.For example, a response of 234 from a 100 or 200 series blender indicates that 23.4 grams ofmaterial have been processed. A response of 234 from a 400, 900, or 1800 series blenderindicates that 234 grams of material have been processed.6

MLAN Command HistoryThe following table documents when commands have been added to the MLAN software. Thechip version number can be found on the MLAN chip within the controller.In most cases with the introduction of new commands to the software in MLAN chips, 12software chips were either first to be updated or both the 12 software and the 4 software chipswere updated at the same time.Not all chips are listed below. What are listed are chips that marked a change in the softwareand were available for testing. If your chip is not listed, it may indicate that your chip did notmark a change in the software or possibly it was not available for testing when this informationwas compiled.Chips versions numbers indicate a date. For instance chip "60603A" means 1996 (6), June (06),3rd (03) followed by "T" or “TC” for twelve software or "A" or “WS” for four software. Your chipversion number may fall somewhere in between the chips listed below if it is not directly listed.Other Notes:• Controllers using chips prior to 60603A (06/03/1996) have an earlier circuit board, whichwould need replacement if the chip is to be updated.• Chips after 90317A (03/17/1999) will have all parameters available.• Chips prior to 90317A (03/17/1999), please see chart on the following page.MLAN CommandChip VersionPrinted on ChipMLAN CommandChip VersionPrinted on ChipGet Version 60603A Get Weight Units 60710TClear Totals 20414A Set Remote Keypad 60911TClear Totals Immediately 80609A Send Keystroke 60911TGet Address 50925A Send Settings 20414TGet All Parameters 60809A Set Batch Weight 60603AGet Batch Info 60603A Set Date & Time 60603AGet Cycle, Weight & Time 30913A Set Parameter 70529AGet Display 50925A Set Steady State Rate 70916TGet Parameter 70205T Set Tag 60710TGet Settings 20414A Set Target Throughput 90317AGet Status 41019A Set Weight Units 60710TGet Steady State Rate 60603A Silence Alarm 60603AGet Target Throughput 90317A Start / Stop / Status 60603AStatusGet Totals 20414A Stop Cycle / Stop Retry 71222TGet Type 20414A XT Parameters 60603APLEASE NOTE:Depending on the date of the chip in your controller, all commands may not be available.

Modbus TCP/IP Communication for WSBGeneral InformationThe Modbus TCP/IP command protocol data format used has been designed to be as consistentas possible with the MLAN command set. A full description of the Modbus TCP/IP specificationcan be found at www.modicon.com/openmbusThe Modbus registers are Word (two-byte) values. Values shown are decimal (base 10) values.Command Format (Write)OutputByteModbus TCP/IPDescription Name Range MLAN Description0 Transaction ID Usually 01 Transaction ID Usually 02 Protocol ID Usually 03 Protocol ID Usually 04 Total Data Length 05 Total Data Length 7 to 2556 Slave Address MLAN Address7 Function Code 15 or 168 Register Hi Command Code 24 MLAN Command9 Register Lo 010 Register Count Hi 011 Register Count Lo 0 to N12 Data Byte Count 0 to (N+1)*213 Data Word 0 Hi14 Data Word 0 Lo. .. .X Data Word N HiX+1 Data Word N LoResponse Format (Write)InputByte Modbus Description Name Range Description0 Transaction ID Usually 01 Transaction ID Usually 02 Protocol ID Usually 03 Protocol ID Usually 04 Total Data Length 05 Total Data Length 26 Slave Address MLAN Address7 Function Code 15 or 16 Top bit set on error9

The number denoting each command is shown in table 3.10

Note: One potential source of confusion is the relationship between the reference numbers usedin MODBUS functions, and the ‘register numbers’ used in Modicon PLC’s. For historical reasons,user reference numbers were expressed as decimal numbers with a starting offset of 1. HoweverMODBUS uses the more natural software interpretation of an unsigned integer index starting atzero.So a modbus message requesting the read of a register at offset 0 would return the value knownto the application programmer as found in register 4:00001 (memory type 4 = output register,reference 00001)The checksum specified in the MLAN protocol is NOT used in the Modbus TCP/IPcommunication. Error checking is taken care of automatically by the Modbus TCP/IP software aseach Ethernet frame contains it's own CRC.When the blender controller has executed the command, the Modbus function code is echoed inthe reply Modbus TCP/IP data packet. If an error is encountered the top bit of the reply functioncode will be set and will be followed by a single byte indicating the reason for the error.Response Format with Error(Write/Read)InputByte Modbus Description Name Range Description0 Transaction ID Usually 01 Transaction ID Usually 02 Protocol ID Usually 03 Protocol ID Usually 04 Total Data Length 05 Total Data Length 36 Slave Address MLAN Address7 Function Code131, 132, 143or 1448 Error Code Reason for failureError Code ExplanationsThe Modbus TCP/IP Error Code byte can take the following values:07 Communication error (NAK negative-acknowledge).01 This means that the command is not supported.06 Communication Error (Time-out).03 Invalid parameter passed in the command.11

Additions to the MLAN Command Descriptions for use with Modbus TCP/IPThe “Set-Parameter” (68) and “Get-Parameter” (69) commands use an integer value to identifythe particular parameter requested.Table 4 shows how this number relates to the three-letter parameter abbreviation. “Fourcomponent”software and the “Twelve-component” software options are shown. For theparameters 50 upwards, a second variable is required. This specifies the component number.The number is 1 to 12 for the “Twelve” software. For the “Four” software:1 = Regrind 2 = Natural 3 = Colour 4 = Additive12

Modbus TCP/IP Command ExampleThe example below illustrates the “Get-Parameter _LA (Lag Time) for component 3” commandover Modbus TCP/IP on MLAN address 1.
