Maguire G2 Software Startup Guide
Gravimetric Gateway
The G2 Software is a stand-alone communication, control and data collection software
package for use with the Maguire Loss-In-Weight (LIW), Maguire Weigh Scale Blenders
(WSB, WSD, WST), and the Maguire Gravimetric Feeders (MGF). The G2 software installs
on a Windows Operating System and can communicate over Ethernet or MLAN (RS-232).
The G2 Software consists of two programs, the G2 Server and the G2 Client. The G2 Server
should be installed on a dedicated computer and the G2 Server program must be running
in order to collect totals and send commands from the WSB, MGF or LIW machines. The
G2 Client is installed on the same computer and is the human interface with the program,
consisting of the control and reporting screens. The G2 Client can also be installed on
other computers located on the same network. These remote clients connect to the G2
Server and offer remote access to the data as well as control.
Gravimetric Gateway® Server (G2 Server)
The Gravimetric Gateway® Server, G2 Server, is the name we give to the server software written
exclusively for the MAGUIRE Weigh Scale Blenders. The G2 Server enables you to communicate
directly from the server with one or more WSB controllers or connect remotely from anywhere over
a TCP/IP network using the Gravimetric Gateway® Client Software. The Gravimetric Gateway®
Server provides two-way communication between the server and the MLAN network of blenders
through downloading and constant retrieval of information from WSB controllers for:
PRECISE WEIGHT of all materials processed
SETTINGS - Sending and retrieval
EXTRUSION CONTROL - Monitoring, Controlling and Recipe Downloads
LINE RECIPE MANAGEMENT - Creating, Downloading
RECIPE numbers
WORK ORDER numbers
OPERATOR numbers
The G2 Server organizes and tracks your material usage, allowing you to gather accurate
information according to the following factors:
 TIME
 DAY
 BLENDER
 WORK ORDER
 OPERATOR
 RECIPE
 LINE
