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.
MLAN Time Table
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).

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.
