5.3. N-Bus Addressing
First define the number of MCS-08AD
modules and MCS-08IO modules in the
GSD configuration.

– xFace N-bus Addressing Tab
Address: Addresses of the MCS-08AD modules
Read button: Reads the N-address and the serial number of the MCS-08AD module
Write button: Writes the N-address to the MCS-08AD module with the corresponding serial number
Auto Address: Fills the address fields with values 0 to 7
Address: Addresses of the MCS-08IO modules
Read button: Reads the N-address and the serial number of the MCS-08IO module
Write button: Writes the N-address to the MCS-08IO module with the corresponding serial number
Auto Address: Fills the address fields with values 0 to 7
For the first time connection to a MCS-08 system only the gateway and the addressing tabs become active.
First address the modules to the N-Bus to activate the modules within the MCS-08 system.
Addressing MCS-08AD modules to the N-Bus: First click the „Read‟ button to read the serial numbers and
the addresses. Then define an address for each MCS- 08AD module within the system. Then click the „Write‟
button to save the address settings. If the addressing of the MCS-08AD modules to the N-Bus is successfully
completed, then the Setup, the Calibration and the Converter Status tabs as well as the Scale Address and the
Visual Weight Display will be activated.
Addressing Input/Output Instruments to N-Bus: First, click the „Read‟ button to read serial numbers and the
addresses. Then define an address for each MCS-08IO module within the system. Then click the „Write‟ button
to save the address settings. If the addressing of the MCS-08IO modules to the N-Bus is successfully
completed, then the I/O Status tab will be activated.
