Integration
Gain full control of your Maguire WSB range; use the G2 software as part of
your materials management or simply connect to an industrial network or
Fieldbus environment.
Control
Each material is precisely measured and dispensed to your required recipe
to within ± 0.1% accuracy on a 1% setting. This eliminates over-coloring and
increases control over product quality and consistency.
G2 client software
Take control and connect using your own IT system or fieldbus system, or use
our off-the-shelf G2 software to simply plug-in and run. Maguire reserves the right to cancel product or change product, product specifications and data
without notice to improve reliability, function, design or otherwise.
APPLICATIONS NETWORKING
These include Central PLC Control Panels, SCADA systems, Plant Wide Control Systems, or Connections can either be at a software level utilizing SQL or OPC based links, or
Accounting Systems managing materials stocks. alternatively machine to machine communications via Maguire’s open source MLAN
protocol, or industry leading fieldbus protocols such as Industrial Ethernet, Profibus,
DeviceNet and Modbus TCP/IP.
THE BENEFITS
The value of integrated data for proper production planning and control contributes
enormously to the planning and control of most plastics processors’ largest cost – raw
materials. By proper, active reporting Maguire blenders provide precise information on
materials consumption allowing for better control of inventory, improved purchase planning,
quality control, data for ISO and proper planning for job costing.
