1. DESIGN AND APPLICATION
The MCT88M-IO is an access terminal dedicated to RACS 5 system. The terminal is equipped with colour
graphic display, sensor type keypad, 4 function keys and MIFARE® Ultralight/Classic/DESFire/Plus/ reader.
Users can identify at the terminal with PINs, MIFARE cards and mobile devices equipped with NFC (Near
Field Communication) or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology. MCT88M-IO can be connected to RS485
bus of MC16 access controller directly. Alternatively the terminal can be connected to virtual controller
through Ethernet network (LAN). When connected to MC16 controller it can be operated as access control
terminal, Time&Attendance terminal and additionally it can be used to control the system especially in
regard of building automation functionalities offered by RACS 5. When connected to virtual controller it can
be operated as POS (Point of Sale) terminal or assets management terminal.

Power supply
The terminal requires power supply voltage in range of 11-15VDC. It can be supplied from MCX2D/MCX4D
expander of MC16-PAC-KIT, from MC16 access controller (e.g. TML output) or from dedicated power
supply unit. The supply wire diameter must be selected in such way that the voltage drop between supply
output and the device would be lower than 1V. The proper wire diameter is especially critical when device is
located in long distance from the supply source. In such a case the use of dedicated power supply unit
located close to the device should be considered. When separate power supply unit is used then its minus
should be connected to controller’s GND by means of signal wire with any diameter. It is recommended to
use UTP cable for connection of device to controller. The table below shows maximal UTP cable lengths in
relation to the number of wires used for power supply.

RS485 bus
The primary communication method with MC16 access controller is provided with RS485 bus which can
encompass up to 16 devices of RACS 5 system, each with unique address in range of 100-115. The bus
topology can be freely arranged as star, tree or any combination of them except for loop. The matching
resistors (terminators) connected at the ends of transmitting lines are not required. In most cases
communication works with any cable type (standard telephone cable, shielded or unshielded twisted pair
etc.) but the recommended cable is unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP cat.5). Shielded cables should be limited
to installations subject to strong electromagnetic interferences. The RS485 communication standard used in
the RACS 5 system guarantees proper communication in a distance of up to 1200 meters as well as high
resistance to interferences.
Note: Do not use more than single pair in UTP cable for RS485 communication bus.

Ethernet interface
Ethernet interface of MCT88M-IO terminal can be used for communication in LAN with virtual controller
which operates as Windows service on a computer/server. Virtual controller enables the operation of
MCT88M-IO as PoS terminal or assets management terminal. Virtual controller is a component of
RogerSVC software package which is available at www.roger.pl.
Display
The terminal is equipped with colour display (4 lines, 16 characters each). The display can be configured in
regard of background and font colours within low level configuration (RogerVDM) and in regard of displayed
information within high level configuration by means of Display command in VISO software navigation tree
which is explained in AN011 application note.
Moreover, default functions key icons, splash screen and screensaver can be replaced using device
memory card. Four new icons must be copied to ICONS folder on memory card (fig. 6) and they must be
named as icon_001.bmp, icon_002.bmp, icon_003.bmp and icon_004.bmp. Splash screen file in the same
folder must be named as icon_000.bmp. Screensaver graphics must be named as scrnsvr.bmp and it must
be copied to the main folder of memory card. Icons, splash screen and screen saver must in bmp format
(without alpha channel) and with 24bit colour depth (can be saved with MS Paint). Icon size must be
60x60pixels while splash screen size and screen saver size must be 320x240pixels.
Keypad
The terminal is equipped with numeric touch keypad and backlight. The keypad can be used for user
identification with PIN and for various keypad commands. By default, the key [#] is used for PIN confirming.
Function keys
The terminal is equipped with four touch function keys (fig. 3). Various functions can be assigned to these
keys within high level configuration (VISO) e.g. door bell, Set T&A Mode, Register Guard Tour Event, Set
Automation Node On, etc. Within low level configuration (RogerVDM) of the terminal it is possible configure
if terminal distinguishes short and long key pressings. Consequently each types of key press can be
assigned with different function.
Numeric keypad includes [*] and [#] keys which can be configured as function keys.

Inputs
The terminal offers 3 general purpose parametric inputs of NO, NC, 3EOL/DW/NO and 3EOL/DW/NC type
and 1 input internally connected to tamper contact. Input types and electric parameters such as response
time and parametric resistors are defined within low level configuration (RogerVDM). Input functions are
assigned within high level configuration (VISO). Multiple functions can be assigned to the same input at the
same time.
Table 1. Input types
NO input
NC input
NO input can be in normal or in triggered state. In
normal state CAcontacts are opened. Input
triggering is caused by CAcontacts closing.
NC input can be in normal or in triggered state. In
normal state CAcontacts are closed. Input triggering
is caused by CAcontacts opening.

3EOL/DW/NO input
3EOL/DW/NC input
3EOL/DW/NO input is operated in such way that CA
contacts closing is interpreted as triggering of the
first input while CBclosing is interpreted as
triggering of the second input. In VISO software DW
input type is represented by two independent inputs.
Each can be used for different purpose and
assigned with different function.
3EOL/DW/NC input is operated in such way that CA
contacts opening is interpreted as triggering of the
first input while CBopening is interpreted as
triggering of the second input. In VISO software DW
input type is represented by two independent inputs.
Each can be used for different purpose and
assigned with different function.
Parametric resistors
The same values of parametric resistors are used for all inputs i.e. 1kΩ; 1,2kΩ; 1,5kΩ; 1,8kΩ; 2,2kΩ; 2,7kΩ;
3,3kΩ; 3,9kΩ; 4,7kΩ; 5,6kΩ; 6,8kΩ; 8,2kΩ; 10kΩ; 12kΩ. In case of 3EOL/DW (Double Wiring) input type,
Alarm A resistor defines a value of resistor used to detect triggering of the first input while Alarm B resistor
defines a value of resistor used to detect triggering of the second input. Alarm A resistor value must differ
from value of Alarm B resistor at least by three positions in the list above. Total resistance of wire used to
connect contacts to input should not exceed 100 Ω. Default values of parametric resistors:
Alarm A = 2,2 kΩ
Alarm B = 5,6 kΩ
Response time
Response time parameter defines minimal impulse time on the input which triggers the input. Each input can
be configured individually in range of 50 to 5000 ms within low level configuration (RogerVDM).
Tamper detector
Built-in tamper (sabotage) detector enables detection of unauthorized opening of device’s enclosure as well
as detachment of the enclosure from wall. The detector is internally connected to the terminal’s input. It
does not require low level configuration (RogerVDM) or any additional installation arrangements but it is
essential to mount front panel in such way as the tamper detector (fig. 6) would firmly press the back panel.
The detector requires high level configuration which consists in assignment of the function [133] Tamper
Toggle on the level of a Main Board of a controller in VISO software navigation tree.
Outputs
The terminal offers 2 transistor open collector type outputs (15V/150mA rated) and 1 relay output with
NO/NC contacts (30V/1.5A DC/AC rated). Electric parameters such as polarity are configured within low
level configuration (RogerVDM). Function are assigned to outputs within high level configuration (VISO).
Multiple functions with different priorities can be assigned to the same output at the same time.

Identification
Following user identification methods are offered by the terminal:
MIFARE Ultralight/Classic/Plus/DESFire proximity cards
PINs
Mobile devices (NFC and BLE)
MIFARE cards
By default the terminal reads serial numbers (CSN) of MIFARE cards but it is possible to program cards with
own numbers (PCN) in selected and encrypted sectors of card memory. The use of PCN prevents card
cloning and consequently it significantly increases security in the system. More information on MIFARE card
programming is given in AN024 application note which is available at www.roger.pl.
The technical characteristics of the device are guaranteed for RFID cards supplied by Roger. Cards from
other sources may be used, but they are not covered by the manufactures warranty. Before deciding to use
specific Roger products with third-party contactless cards, it is recommended to conduct tests that will
confirm satisfactory operation with the specific Roger device and software in which it operates.
PINs
The terminal accepts variable length PINs (by default 4-8 digits concluded with [#] key).
Mobile devices (NFC and BLE)
The terminal MCT88M-IO enables user identification with mobile device (Android, iOS) using NFC or
Bluetooth (BLE) communication. Prior to use of BLE/NFC identification on the terminal, within its low level
configuration (see section 4) configure own NFC/BLE authentication factor encryption key and NFC/BLE
communication encryption key while in case of Bluetooth additionally verify if the parameter BLE activated is
enabled. Install Roger Mobile Key (RMK) app on mobile device and configure the same parameters as in
the terminal. Create key (authentication factor) in RMK defining its type and number, then create the same
authentication factor in VISO software (fig. 4) and assign it to the user with adequate Authorisation(s) at the
terminal. When user wants to identify at the terminal using mobile device then key (authentication factor)
can be selected from the screen or with gesture.

3. OPERATION SCENARIOS
Access, T&A and building automation terminal
The terminal when connected to MC16 access controller can be at the same time used for access control,
Time&Attendance and building automation functionalities. The example of connection diagram for such
scenario is shown in fig. 7 where the terminal’s power supply line and RS485 bus are connected directly to
the controller and relay outputs of MCX8 expander are used to control building automation. The terminal can
also operate with MC16 controller using MCX2D/MCX4D expanders as in case of M16-PAC-KIT series.
Various scenarios of operation with MC16 controllers are presented in AN002 application note.
