Installation Default Address & Speed

The Gateway is shipped with a default Profibus Address of 126. The default data-rate for Profibus
is automatic. The gateway should be configured by use of a node-commissioning tool to set the
network node address to the required value. This configuration information is stored in nonvolatile memory on the gateway.
If a node configuration tool is not available, refer to the following section: Manual configuration
of Network Node address.
Please Note:
Node commissioning tools are normally shipped with the Master device. There are many
different commissioning tools available depending on the Fieldbus and the manufacturer of the
hardware and therefore their description is beyond the scope of this manual.
Installation & Connection of an Internal MLAN Gateway Card

To fit an internal MLAN Gateway Card to an existing Maguire blender controller please follow
these instructions;
Firstly remove the 4 screws on top of the Controller, 3 from the left hand side, and then 3 screws
underneath the controller towards the front side. Once the controller is open then do the
following;
Once all of the screws have been

removed from the controller open the
controller to expose all internal cards and
wiring.
The MLAN Gateway replaces the RS232
Computer port situated on the left hand
side panel of the controller.
The Computer port is shown from
reverse, being the top port on the panel.
To remove the existing computer port

unscrew the two connection screws and
remove the ribbon connector from the main
board.
Using the two connector screws from the
computer port you have removed, fit the
MLAN Gateway in place of the computer
port. Then connect the ribbon cable from
the MLAN gateway onto the RS232
position on the main board of the
controller.
Once the card has been installed, it is then

necessary to provide the MLAN Gateway
with a 24V DC feed.
To do this by cut the brown and blue wires
connected to the brown Molex connector
situated at the top of the board (next to the
ribbon cable for the field marshal).
Using the wires and terminal block
provided with the MLAN Gateway connect
the two cut wires to each side of the
terminal block and then wire as follows:
Red Gateway wire to Brown Controller wire
Black Gateway wire to Blue Controller wire

Selection of Modbus or Profibus Protocol

The Internal or External MLAN Gateway unit can be configured to run Profibus or Modbus
through the D-type connector.
External MLAN Gateway Protocol Selection
On the External DIN Box Unit the protocol is selected by specific use of the push-button located
beneath the D-type connector. The way to select is as follows:
1 Whilst there is no power to the gateway unit, hold in the button. Keep it held in whilst
power is applied. The LED will illuminate either flashing yellow or flashing green.
2 If the LED illuminates flashing yellow, then the unit is selected for Modbus operation.
Before the unit will operate, it must be powered down once more, then power applied
WITHOUT the button pressed (normal power-up procedure).
3 If the LED illuminates flashing green, then the unit is selected for Profibus operation.
Before the unit will operate, it must be powered down once more, then power applied
WITHOUT the button pressed (normal power-up procedure).
4 Each time the unit is powered up WITH the button pressed, the unit will toggle to the
other protocol, indicated by the colour of the flashing LED. Note that once the
appropriate protocol is indicated, the unit must be powered down, then powered up
WITHOUT the button pressed for normal operation.
Internal MLAN Gateway Protocol Selection
On the Internal Card Unit the protocol is selected by specific use of the push-button located
beneath the D-type connector. The way to select is as follows:
1 Whilst there is no power to the gateway unit, hold in the button. Keep it held in whilst
power is applied. The LED will illuminate either flashing yellow or flashing green.
Manual Configuration of Network Node Address and Bit-Rate

If a node commissioning tool is not available (for example Com-Profibus) then the Gateways
network node address (Profibus) can be set manually.
External MLAN Gateway Addressing
On the External MLAN Gateway DIN Box Unit the protocol is selected by specific use of the
push-button located beneath the D-type connector. The way to select is as follows:
The pushbutton located behind the Profibus connector is used in conjunction with the status LED
as follows on the next page:
To check the gateway network address:
1. Power-on the unit and wait at least 10 seconds. Then hold the pushbutton on.
After 4 seconds the gateway status LED acknowledges by illuminating yellow.
2. Release the button. The LED goes off and then flashes n times green and m
times red. nm is then the decimal representation of the network address: For
example (n x 10) + m.
3. After a short pause the LED will then light green for 5 seconds, then red for 5
seconds. After a further 5 seconds the led will revert to registering its normal
function.
To set the gateway network address
1. Hold the pushbutton on. After 4 seconds the gateway status LED acknowledges
by illuminating yellow.
2. Release the button. The LED goes off and then flashes n times green and m
times red. nm is then the decimal representation of the current network
address: For Example (n x 10) + m.
3. After a short pause the LED will then light green. Whilst the LED is green (within
5 seconds) press the button n times for the fist digit of the decimal address.
Visual feedback is provided by the LED going yellow during each button press.
4. After 2 seconds the LED will turn red. Whilst the LED is red (within 5 seconds)
the user should push the button m times for the second digit (units). Once again
visual feedback is provided by the led going yellow during each button press.
5. After 5 seconds the unit will re-initialize using the new network address, and the
LED will revert to its normal function. The new network address is retained in
non-volatile memory.
6. If confirmation is required that the address was entered correctly, the check-thegateway-network-address procedure can be used without interrupting the
normal operation of the unit.
Please Note:
If a zero is required in either the tens or units position, then do not press the button during the
appropriate LED-green or LED-red phase. Address 00 (zero-zero) cannot be entered.
The gateway allows addresses beyond 99. The unit will accept up to 12 presses for the 10s digit.
This allows Profibus addresses up to 126 to be used.
Internal MLAN Gateway Addressing
Profibus Connector
The Profibus connector on both the External and Internal Gateway is located on the left hand
side of the unit, in the form of a 9-Pin D-sub female connector compliant with the Profibus
specification.
When utilizing the Internal MLAN Gateway Card this replaces the standard RS 232 Serial Port.
Programming Overview
Introduction
This manual is intended to provide information for individuals who are writing software for
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and need to communicate with the Maguire Weigh
Scale Blender.
For a complete understanding of the operation of the Weigh Scale Blender (WSB), it is
recommended that you have the four and / or twelve component controller manual(s) available
as a reference.
Likewise if you require additional information on the Maguire Blender MLAN Communication
Protocol then please refer to the MLAN Protocol manual.
Both of these manuals are available to download from the Maguire website at www.maguire.com
alongside other useful documents and product information.
All numbers in this document are assumed to be decimal (base 10) unless otherwise noted.
Programming Considerations
The software type within the blender controller must be determined before commencing
programming. There are 2 options for the type of software, either 4 software or 12 software.
There are three ways to determine the controllers software type:
1. The simplest and quickest method is to turn the blender controller off and on again. You
2.
3.
will either see TWELVE or FOUR.

If the controller is very old, look at the number that appears on the display during power
up. This number will have a T on the end of it if it is twelve component software. If
there is some other letter present, the controller has four component software.
Use the command Get Settings from Weigh Scale command code 20
Use the command Get Weigh Scale Type command code 49
Messages 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 for
each software type.
Finally, the blender series must be known. Blender load cells read in either tenths of grams or
whole grams. These are as follows:
1 Load Cells for the Micro blender, 100 and 200 series of blenders read in tenths of grams.
2 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 of
material have been processed. A response of 234 from a 400, 900, or 1800 series blender
indicates that 234 grams of material have been processed.

MLAN Command History

The following table documents when commands have been added to the MLAN software. The
chip 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, 12
software chips were either first to be updated or both the 12 software and the 4 software chips
were updated at the same time.
Not all chips are listed below. What are listed are chips that marked a change in the software
and were available for testing. If your chip is not listed, it may indicate that your chip did not
mark a change in the software or possibly it was not available for testing when this information
was 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 chip
version number may fall somewhere in between the chips listed below if it is not directly listed.
Other Notes:
1 Controllers using chips prior to 60603A (06/03/1996) have an earlier circuit board, which
would need replacement if the chip is to be updated.
2 Chips after 90317A (03/17/1999) will have all parameters available.

3 Chips prior to 90317A (03/17/1999), please see chart on the following page.

Profibus Communication for WSB

General Information
Within the constraints of Profibus, the protocol used has been designed to be as consistent as
possible with the MLAN command set.
The Profibus cyclic Input / Output for a slave node appears as a block of output registers /
memory, and a block of input registers / memory.
The registers are generally Word (two-byte) values. Values shown are decimal (base 10) values.

Variable 1
Variable 2
Variables 3..4..5
Commands are initiated by writing the appropriate values to a set of output registers. The precise
sequence is described in the following paragraphs. The sequence is important. The reply to each
command can be read from the input registers. Once again the operational sequence is
important.
The command codes are the same as those used for the MLAN communication. The number
denoting each command is shown in table 3.
The parameters (variables) associated with the command should be written first (address 2
upwards), followed by the command number (address 0,1). The writing of the command number
causes the WSB Profibus interface to execute the command. It is the change in this value that
initiates the slave action. Consequently, if two commands of the same type are to be executed
consecutively, then a Null-Command (zero) should be executed between the two similar
commands.
The checksum specified in the MLAN protocol is NOT used in the Profibus communication. Error
checking is taken care of automatically by the Profibus software.
13
The Profibus Input and Output parameters are arranged in word (two-byte) values as this is more
easily accommodated by certain PLCs than byte-orientated information.
When the blender controller has executed the command, the command number is echoed in the
command-confirmation input word. Note that the command confirmation always echoes the
command number so that the PLC can know which command is being acknowledged.
This differs slightly from the MLAN protocol where some commands reply with the 48 reply
code. As the data is cyclic, this echo is necessary to confirm which command is being replied to.
Command Structure
In order to send a command to the WSB over Profibus, the PLC should apply the following
procedure.
1. Write the variables associated with the commands to output register addresses 2
upwards.
2. Write the command number to address 0/1 (QW0)

3. Repeatedly read input address 2/3 (IW2) until its value matches the command placed in
output location 0/1 (QW0)
4. Read Comms Status (current command): input location 4/5. (IW4)

5. If Comms Status (step 4) was zero, then the variables of the command reply can be read
from locations 6/7 (IW6), 8/9 (IW8)..
Totalized Error Count

This resides in the first Input Word (IW0) This number represents a cumulative errors total
between the Profibus interface card inside the blender and the blender itself.
Comms Status Explanations

The Comms-Status word (input register 4/5) (IW4) can take the following values:
0 This means that the command was acknowledged as successful and that the
returned parameters/variables (registers 6/7..8/9) are valid.
1 Communication error (NAK negative-acknowledge).
2 This means that the command is not supported.
3 Communication Error (Time-out).
4 Invalid parameter passed in the command.
Additions to the MLAN Command Descriptions for use with Profibus

The Set-Parameter (68) and Get-Parameter (69) commands use an integer value to identify
the 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 the
parameters 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 = Additive
14
Profibus Slave Parameterisation: User-parameters

The MLAN parameters that describe the operation of the MLAN port must be downloaded at the
start of each power-up sequence, normally the Profibus Master will do this automatically, once it
has been configured. The parameters are:
MLAN Address:
The Address of the MLAN slave to communicate with.
Byte Order: The order in which the MLAN data is stored in the Profibus Packet.
Max Reply Time: The maximum time the MLAN unit will require to start sending a
reply.
The parameters are set by using the Electronic Device Data sheet into the Profibus
commissioning tool. This Electronic Data Sheet often referred to as a GSD File will be provided
with the Gateway, the method to set the parameters for a specific node will be described in the
documentation provided with the Node Commissioning Tool (For Example Com-Profibus).
