This document contains minimum information that is necessary for initial setup
and installation of the device. The detailed description of configuration
parameters and functionalities is specified in respective Operating manual

INTRODUCTION
The MCX16-UZ I/O expander enables use of Clex (UHLMANN&ZACHER)
wireless locks as access terminals in RACS 5 system. MCX16-UZ operates as
hardware interface for communication of Clex locks with MC16 access controller.
The expander communicates with the MC16 controller using RS485-1 bus and
with Clex public online system using RS485-2 bus. MCX16-UZ offers its input
and output lines for use in RACS 5 system.
CONFIGURATION WITH ROGERVDM PROGRAM
Low level configuration with RogerVDM software enables to define basic
parameters of MCX16 expander.
Programming procedure:
1. Switch power supply off.
2. Short CLK and DTA lines.
3. Restore power supply (all LED flashing) and wait min. 5s.
4. Remove connection between CLK and DTA lines (LEDs stop flashing, LED8
is ON).
5. Start RogerVDM program, select MCX16-UZ v1.x device, the latest firmware
version and Ethernet communication channel.
6. Enter device IP address and communication key (by default respectively
192.168.0.81, admin).
7. Click Connect button, the program will establish connection and automatically
open configuration window.
8. Define RS485 address in range of 100-115 and if needed change IP address
and communication key.
9. Enable Clex locks and enter their serial numbers SW2-Version (8 ASCII
digits).
10. Optionally enter comments for CDI, OUT and PWR lock objects in order to
facilitate identification of locks during further configuration of the system.
11. Click Send to Device to update the configuration of device and disconnect by
selection of Device in the top menu and then Disconnect.
Note: The low level configuration of the expander cannot be modified with VISO
v2 software.
CONFIGURATION WITH VISO PROGRAM
High level configuration with VISO software enables to define the logic of
controller, expander and locks. More information on this subject is given in
AN056 application note.
MEMORY RESET
Memory reset procedure resets all settings to default ones and results in
192.168.0.81 IP address and ‘admin’communication key.
Memory reset procedure:
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Press and remove memory card from expander.
3. Use memory card reader to connect the card to computer.
4. Delete CONFIG.INI file from the memory card.
5. Insert the memory card into expander socket.
6. Start RogerVDM and make low level configuration.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
New firmware can be uploaded to the controller via its memory card. The latest
firmware file is available at www.roger.pl.
Firmware update procedure:
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Press and remove memory card from expander.
3. Use memory card reader to connect the card to computer.
4. Copy the new firmware (*.frg) to the memory card and rename it as FW.BUF.
5. Insert the memory card into expander socket.
6. Restore power supply and expander will automatically start the firmware
update process. During this process, which usually takes 10s, LED2 is ON
while LED3 is flashing.
7. Once the update is finished the FW.BUF file is automatically erased and
expander returns to service mode (LED8 is steady ON).
8. If needed, start RogerVDM program and make low level configuration.
Note: During the firmware update process, it is necessary to ensure continuous
and stable power supply for the device. If interrupted, the device may require
repair by Roger.
POWER SUPPLY
MCX16 expander can be supplied from 24VDC PSU, 12VDC PSU or 18VAC
transformer with minimal power output 20VA. In case of 12VDC power supply,
backup battery cannot be directly connected to the expander and in such case
backup power supply must be provided by 12VDC power supply unit. It is
recommended to install MCX16-UZ expander in ME-40-24V metal box which is
factory equipped with adequate PSU.
