Chapter - 1. MCS-BMS-GATEWAYS
The MCS-BMS-GATEWAY is a microprocessor based communication device that provides protocol translation from
difference protocols. Information that can be transmitted includes the status of control points, alarm information, digital
inputs, analog inputs or setpoints.
The MCS-BMS-GATEWAY protocol is field selectable by setting jumper on the device.
Using MCS-CONFIG and the CONFIG file for the MCS-MAGNUM, you can automatically create the program that is re
-
quired by the MCS-BMS-GATEWAY. Then using a web browser you can download the program into the unit.
The MCS-BMS-GATEWAY can receive changes from the network to enable or disable the Network Run/Stop indicator.
Adjustments can also be made to the Cooling Target (Setpoint #1) of a MCS-MAGNUM.
MCS is currently shipping 3 difference MCS-BMS-GATEWAYS
MCS-BMS-GATEWAY USE CHAPTER 4 AND 5 FOR INSTALLATION
1.1. MCS-BMS-GATEWAY (Model with LonTalk)
Supports BACnet®1 MS/TP, Metasys®2 N2 by JCI, LonWorks®3 and
Modbus IP to RTU.
Communication Rate ......... 19,200 bps
1.1.1
LONTALK Protocol
When the MCS-BMS-GATEWAY is setup for LONTALK, it is capable
of being configured by Network Management Tools such as LonMaker. For binding (implicit mode), a Net
-
work Management Tool is necessary to create the bindings.
It is possible to place a MCS-BMS-GATEWAY into a Network for explicit communications without using a Net-
work Management Tool, but this requires intimate knowledge of the network in question.
The external interface file (.XIF) for the MCS-BMS-GATEWAY can be uploaded from the MCS-BMS-GATE
-
WAY for the particular application. The MCS-BMS-GATEWAY differs from most other LonWorks devices in
that its XIF file is not fixed due to varying applications.
MCS-BMS-GATEWAY-NL USE CHAPTER 4 AND 5 FOR INSTALLATION
1.2. MCS-BMS-GATEWAY-NL (Model NO LonTalk)
Supports BACnet®1 MS/TP, Metasys®2 N2 by JCI, and Modbus IP
to RTU.
Communication Rate ......... 19,200 bps
MCS-BMS-GATEWAY-N54 USE CHAPTER 6 FOR INSTALLATION
1.3. MCS-BMS-GATEWAY-N54 (Model NO LonTalk)
Supports BACnet®1 MS/TP, Metasys®2 N2 by JCI, and Modbus IP to RTU.
Communication Rate ......... 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600,
76800, 115000
