Network Hardware Types Four network hardware types that are used in MCS products: RS485 RS232 Ethernet LonWorks (twisted pair)

RS485 Hardware One twisted pair (two conductors) Shielded wire – wrapped foil with drain wire Minimum AWG 20 Max baud rate: 115,000 bit/s Multidrop – point to point Max 30 MCS Controllers wired together Total Network cable length < 4000’ (1219m) Can be lengthened with a repeater Supported Data Format Start bit: 1 bit Data bits: 8 bits Parity: None Stop bits:

RS232 Hardware One to one Three conductor 9 or 25 pin connecter Max total cable length < 50’ (15m) Can be lengthened with a repeater Supported Data Format Start bit: 1 bit Data bits: 8 bits Parity: None Stop bit:

Ethernet Hardware Star topography 4 twisted pairs (8 conductors) CAT5E Max baud rate: 10 Mbit/s Max cable length < 328’ (100m) Can be lengthened with a switch

LonWorks Hardware One twisted pair (two conductors) Shielded wire Free topography Minimum AWG 20 Total Network cable length < 3280’ (1000m) Can be lengthened with a repeater

Network Protocols Network protocols are formatting rules that specify how data is sent and received between devices. Protocols are necessary for devices to interact with each other Protocols MCS controllers support: Bacnet Modbus LonTalk Johnson N2 MCS

Network Protocols The MCS Controllers support the following network protocols: Over Ethernet Over RS485 Over LonWorks

MCS Network Adaptors MCS uses five different optional network adapters: Hardware Adapters MCS-485-Gateway (RS232 - RS485) MCS-Ethernet (Ethernet - RS232) MCS-USB-RS232 (USB - RS232) Hardware & Protocol Adapters MCS-BMS-Gateway (Bacnet MSTP, LonTalk, Johnson N2) MCS-Bacnet-Router2 (Bacnet IP)

MCS-485-Gateway Converts between RS485 and RS232 Used with the MicroMag for a connection to: PC (MCS-Connect) MCS-Touch (MCS-Connect) MCS-Ethernet Can be powered from MCS Controller Only hardware conversion, does not change protocol

MCS-Ethernet Converts between Ethernet and RS232 Used with the MicroMag for Ethernet connection to: Internet Comes with 120V wall outlet power adapter Only hardware conversion, does not change protocol

MCS-USB-RS232 Converts between Used for PC (MCS-Connect) communication USB and RS232 Used for PC (MCS-Connect) communication Powered through USB port Only hardware conversion, does not change protocol

MCS-BMS-Gateway Converts Bacnet MSTP (RS485) to: LonTalk (LonWorks) Johnson N2 (RS485) Converts Bacnet IP (Ethernet) to: Bacnet MSTP (RS485) Only supports one MCS-Magnum or MicroMag Can be powered from MCS Controller RS485 Johnson N2 Bacnet MSTP Or MCS-Magnum Ethernet Bacnet IP MCS-BMS-Gateway LonWorks LonTalk RS485 Johnson N2 MicroMag RS485 Bacnet MSTP MCS-BMS-Gateway Or LonWorks LonTalk

MCS-Bacnet-Router2 Converts Bacnet MSTP (RS485) to Bacnet IP (Ethernet) Supports up to 30 MicroMag Can be powered from MicroMag MicroMag RS485 Bacnet MSTP Ethernet Bacnet IP MCS-Bacnet-Router2

MCS-Magnum Communication The MCS-Magnum comes with two hardware communication ports: RS485 Port Ethernet Port

MCS-Magnum Communication The MCS Keypad has a built in MCS-485-Gateway and is connected to the RS485 port on the MCS-Magnum These two ports cannot be in use at the same time with different protocols: RS485 port on the MCS-Magnum RS232 port on the MCS-Magnum Keypad RS232 Port RS485 Bus

MCS-Magnum RS232 The MCS-Magnum can be connected to a PC via MCS-Connect using RS232 located on the MCS-Magnum Keypad The PC may require usb to RS232 adapter, MCS Part # (MCS-USB-RS232) MCS-USB-RS232 MCS-PC9-MM cable PC (MCS-Connect) The RS485 cannot be used with different protocols when the RS232 is used

Building Management System MCS-Magnum RS485 Using the RS485, the MCS-Magnum can be connected to the BMS (Modbus RTU or MCS 485) Building Management System . RS485 The RS232 cannot be used with different protocols when the RS485 is used

Wiring Multiple MCS Controllers Using the RS485, the network must be wired controller to controller Star configurations not allowed Up to 30 controllers can be wired together Correct Incorrect .

MCS-Magnum Ethernet Using the Ethernet, the MCS-Magnum can be connected to BMS (Bacnet IP or Modbus IP) MCS-Touch (MCS-Connect) PC (MCS-Connect) Internet access through router (which allows connection via MCS-Connect from anywhere) Or Or Or Ethernet

MicroMag Communication The MicroMag comes standard with two independent ports: RS485 Port RS232 Port Ethernet access can be added with the MCS-Ethernet

MicroMag RS232 The MicroMag RS232 serial port only supports MCS protocol can be used to connect to: MCS-Touch (MCS-Connect) PC (MCS-Connect) The PC may require usb to RS232 adapter, MCS Part # (MCS-USB-RS232) MCS-Touch MCS-PC9-MM cable Or PC (MCS-Connect) MCS-USB-RS232

Building Management System MicroMag RS485 The MicroMag RS485 port can be used to connect: MCS-Touch (MCS-Connect) BMS (Bacnet MSTP or Modbus RTU or MCS 485) Or Building Management System . RS485 MCS-Touch

MicroMag RS485 The MicroMag RS485 port can be used to connect: MCS-Touch (MCS-Connect) BMS (Bacnet MSTP or Modbus RTU or MCS 485) Internet Access using MCS-485-GATEWAY and the MCS-Ethernet Ethernet . RS485 RS232 9pin  25pin Internet Router MCS-485-GATEWAY MCS-ETHERNET
