NTRODUCTION
MCI-2 interface is a converter between RS485 (EPSO3) protocol and RACS
CLK/DTA protocol. The interface is used to connect MCT series terminal of
RACS 5 system to PR series controller of RACS 4 system or HRC series
controller of hotel automation system. Factory new device does not require low
level configuration and can be operated with default settings (RACS CLK/DTA
address ID0). Low level configuration of the MCI-2 interface with RogerVDM
requires RUD-1 interface.

Programming procedure with RogerVDM software:
1. Connect the device to RUD-1 interface (fig. 1) and connect the RUD-1 to
computer’s USB port.
2. Remove jumper from MEM contacts (fig. 3) and restart the device (short RST
contacts for a moment or switch power supply off and on).
3. Within 5 seconds when orange LED SYSTEM indicator pulsates twice per
second, place jumper on MEM contacts and LED SYSTEM indicator will
pulsate quickly.

IRMWARE UPDATE
The update requires connection of MCI-2 to computer with RUD-1 interface
(fig. 2) and starting RogerVDM software. The latest firmware file is available at
Note: After firmware update it may be necessary to restore factory default
settings. Current configuration of device can be exported to file using RogerVDM
program before firmware update.
Firmware update procedure:
1. Connect the device to RUD-1 interface (fig. 2) and connect the RUD-1 to
computer’s USB port.
2. Place jumper on FDM contacts (fig. 3).
3. Restart the device (short RST contacts for a moment or switch power supply
off and on).
4. Start RogerVDM program and in the top menu select
Tools
and then

.
5. In the opened window select device type, serial port with RUD-1 interface
and path to firmware file (*.hex).
6. Click
Update
to start firmware upload with progress bar in the bottom.
7. When the update is finished, remove FDM jumper and restart the device.
8. If orange LED SYSTEM indicator slowly pulsates after restart then place
