Hardware version: v1.0
Document version: Rev. B
This document refers to following products:
MCX2, MCX8
This manual contains minimum information that is necessary to
properly install device. For more information refer to RACS 5
documentation which is available at www.roger.pl.
INTRODUCTION
The expander is designed to operate within RACS 5 system as a slave
unit connected to MC16 through RS485 bus. Factory new expander is
addressed to ID=100 and the rest of settings are default.
Before connecting to the controller expander requires an unique
address in range of 100-115. Programming of other parameters
depends on the individual installation scenario requirements and is not
obligatory. Addressing and setting parameters of the expander can be
done from PC by means of RogerVDM program.
PROGRAMMING FROM PC
To configure the expander connect it to RUD-1 interface (Fig. 1) and
run RogerVDM program.
Fig. 1 Expander connection method to RUD-1 interface.
RogerVDM programming procedure:
1. Connect expander to RUD-1 interface according to Fig. 1 (screw
terminals and wires description is in the Table 1).
2. Put jumper on JP7 contacts (location of contacts is described in
Fig. 3 and Fig.4).
3. Restart device (switch power supply off and on or press RESET
button for a while).
4. While LED Pwr is flashing, in RogerVDM click: Device -> New.
5. Select proper device model, firmware version, communication
channel and serial port, on which RUD-1 is installed.
6. Click Connect, the software will establish connection with the
expander and automatically will proceed to Configuration tab.
7. Set the address (EPSO ID value in range of 100 - 115) and also the
rest of parameters (if necessary).
8. Click Send to device –the software will send the configuration to
expander.
9. Optionally, save configuration parameters to file using Save to file
button.
10. Click Device->Disconnect.
11. Disconnect expander from RUD-1 interface and remove jumper
from JP7 contacts.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
Firmware can be upgraded by means of RogerVDM software and RUD-1
communication interface. The file with latest firmware is available at
www.roger.pl
1. Connect expander to RUD-1 interface according to Fig. 2.
2. Put jumper on FDM contacts (location of contacts is given on Fig. 3
and Fig. 4).
3. Restart the expander (switch power supply off and on or press
RESET button for a while).
4. Run RogerVDM program.
5. Choose: Tools -> Update Firmware.
6. Select device type, communication port for RUD-1, and path to
firmware file (*.hex).
7. Click Update and follow the instructions on the screen.
8. Restart the expander one more time.
