Power Supply Connection
See chapter 4.2.1
12.3. N-Bus Addressing
MCS-08 modules communicate to each other over the internal N-bus. The MCS-08xx gateway module is the
master of the internal N-bus. All other MCS-08 modules are slaves and have to be addressed to the gateway
module. The N-bus addressing can be done by using the xFace PC software (refer to chapter 5.3) or via setup
switch (refer to chapter 5.8).
12.4. Ethernet Setup
The Ethernet setup is done by the xFace software. Connect the gateway module with your PC via the RS-232C
service port on the module as shown in figure 12.2 to 12.4. After connecting the xFace software with the
gateway module select the Gateway tab. The Gateway tab is shown in figure 12.5. It displays all gateway
information and TCP/IP Ethernet settings.

Modbus TCP Data Structure
The MCS-08EN gateway module can be used as a Modbus slave in a TCP/IP Ethernet network. Function
codes „0x03‟ and „0x10‟ are supported. For the Modbus data structure please refer to chapter 5.11.
