4. Now change the address number on the Gateway Module by pressing the gateway switch ( YELLOW ) until it
reached an address you want to use for an MCS08AD or MCS08IO module.
5. To assign the selected address number to an A/D Converter or Digital I/O module press the setup switch on
the selected module ( BLUE ).
Please note: The MCS08 allows up to 8 A/D and 8 I/O in one system. A/Ds and I/Os
use the same address range (0 to 7). In consequence the same address can be
assigned to one A/D Converter AND one Digital I/O Module.
6. After assigning all modules to a defined address, press and hold the gateways switch for 5 seconds. The
system will close the addressing mode and change to normal mode
Note: Do not de-energise MCS-08 while the system is in the addressing mode. If a power failure has
happened, restart the system and repeat the whole addressing.

5.9. Back up Settings and Calibration Data
The parameter settings and the calibration coefficients can be saved to a backup file after reading these data
from the MCS-08 modules. This backup file can be re-written to MCS-08 modules after opening it by xFace.
The backup feature gives a service advantage to MCS-08 systems. We propose to burn these files to CD /
DVD and save this backup CD / DVD in the control cabinet additionally to a backup file on your PC.
Important note: The previous parameter settings and calibration coefficients in a MCS-08 module will get lost
after loading a backup to this module.
