• Flashes: The stationary device has been forced out of position (2 short flashes every 1
sec), or the encoder has encountered a read error and raised the FQ warning flag (5 short
flashes every 2 sec).
5.3. Communications
The X-MCB2 supports multiple communications interfaces and processes commands through the
currently active interface, which is determined by the interface priorities. Enabling or connecting a
higher priority interface will cause any commands received over the lower priority interface(s) to
be ignored.
Interface Priority
1. USB
2. RS485
3. RS232
Daisy Chaining
Daisy Chaining is supported from USB to RS232 Next and RS232 Prev to RS232 Next. In order to
chain from USB to RS232 the comm.usb.protocol setting must be the same as the
comm.rs232.protocol setting.
6. Installation
The X-MCB2 can be connected to a computer as follows:
1. Plug the serial cable (X-SDC) into the computer's serial port and the device's Prev port.
Alternatively, connect the USB cable (U-DC06) to the device and your computer instead. In
order to use the integrated USB port on the X-MCB2, it is necessary to first install the
appropriate USB driver. See Appendix B for instructions.Either plug the M8 to D-SUB serial
adaptor (X-SDC) into the computer's serial port, or the M8 to USB adaptor (X-USBDC) into
one of your computer's USB ports, then attach the device to the adaptor. For the USB
adaptor, new computers will often be able to install the necessary drivers automatically when
the cable is plugged in for the first time. If the computer reports that the driver installation was
unsuccessful, you can download the drivers for Windows, Mac, or Linux here. Installation
instructions and troubleshooting information are available for each operating system here.
You may need to use a cable extension to reach your computer. There is no need to
power-down or reboot the computer.
2. Connect the power plug of your power supply to the power connector of the unit. The
green LED should light up indicating the unit has power.
3. Additional devices can simply be daisy-chained to the first. See Daisy-Chaining Devices
below.
