LOAD CELL input port
On systems with two load cells the leads are joined by a common connector that is
plugged into this port.
ETHERNET PORT (RJ-45)
The Ethernet port allows for communication to the controller over Ethernet.
Communication through this port is TCP/IP utilizing the MLAN Protocol or Modbus
TCP. The G2 Software, using the MLAN Protocol, can communicate with the
controller over Ethernet using this Ethernet port.
For information on configuring the Ethernet interface, see Communications.
COMPUTER SERIAL Port
This port can be used for computer or PLC communications to the controller.
Data can be gathered from the controller or commands sent to the controller
using either Maguire's Gravimetric Gateway software or using the MLAN
Protocol. The Gravimetric gateway Software (G2) allows downloading settings
and retrieval of information and will produce reports for those customers who
wish to take advantage of this feature. One or many LIW Controllers can be
connected to one computer. For more information, contact Maguire Products
and request our "G2" software. Additionally you may write your own
communication software by using the MLAN Protocol to send commands to
the LIW controllers. For more information on the MLAN Protocol, read the
MLAN Protocol Manual. The G2 Software and the MLAN Protocol Manual as
well as other important documents are available on our website,
www.maguire.com.
