Important notice regarding Weigh
Scale Blender chip versions and the G2 Software:
It was found that Twelve software chips within
the Maguire controller released between December 03, 2004 and July 12, 2005
(controller will display v=D1203L through v= E0712L) has a bug that affects
downloading recipe from the G2 software to the blender. If a recipe is sent to
the controller from G2 during the time the blender is cycling, the new recipe
components can be shifted up one component in the controller. The problem
is in blender software. We suggest anyone using G2 and twelve software
controllers with a chip date code between December 03, 2004 and July 12, 2005
should update to the latest chip version. See
chart below to learn how to decode your chip date. Please
contact Maguire Products to arrange for a chip replacements.
|
The table below documents when MLAN 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 is 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 available for testing when this data was compiled.
Chips versions numbers indicate a date and can be
found by observing the controllers display while powering on the controller. The controller will display v=###### where # is either a number or letter. An example: chip "60603A" means 1996 (6), June (06), 3rd (03) followed by "T" for twelve software,
"A" for four software, or "L" for Loss In Weight (L is a 12
software chip) . See
Chart below for a breakdown of chip codes.

Other Notes:
- 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.
- Chips after 90317A (03/17/1999) will have all parameters available.
Chips prior to 90317A (03/17/1999), please see chart below.
