This document contains minimum information that is necessary for initial setup and installation of the device. The detailed description of configuration parameters and functionalities is specified in respective Operating manual available at www.roger.pl.

INTRODUCTION

MC16 controller is mainly dedicated to door access control in RACS 5 system. The controller is master device for such peripheral devices as MCT terminals, OSDP-RS485 interface readers including OSR series terminals, PRT series terminals, Wiegand interface readers and MCX series expanders. Inputs and outputs of the controller or connected peripheral device can be used to control such devices as door locks, exit buttons, alarm sirens, etc. Various versions and types of controllers are based on the same hardware module and differ with license on their memory cards. Most popular MC16-PAC controllers are offered in MC16-PAC-x-KIT sets.

CONFIGURATION WITH ROGERVDM PROGRAM

Low level configuration with RogerVDM software enables to define basic parameters of MC16 controller i.e. IP address and communication key.
MC16 programming procedure with RogerVDM software:

Connect the controller to Ethernet network and define the IP address of your computer in the same subnetwork as the controller with 192.168.0.213 default IP address.
Start RogerVDM program, select MC16 v1.x device, the latest firmware version and Ethernet communication channel.
Select from the list or enter manually the IP address of controller, enter 1234 communication key and start the connection with the controller.
In the top menu select Tools and then Set communication key to define your own password for the controller.
In the main window specify your own IP address of the controller.
Enable PRT or Wiegand readers if the controller is supposed to operate with them.
Optionally enter comments for controller and its object to facilitate their identification during further configuration of the system.
Optionally backup settings clicking Send to File…
Click Send to Device to update the configuration of controller and disconnect by selection of Device in the top menu and then Disconnect.
Note: Initial low level configuration of MC16 controller in RACS 5 v2 system should be made with RogerVDM program, but further modification of low level configuration for MC16 controller and connected MCT/MCX peripheral devices can be made with VISO v2 program.

CONFIGURATION WITH VISO PROGRAM

High level configuration with VISO software enables to define the logic of controller. More information on scenarios of operation and high level configuration is given in MC16 Operating manual as well as AN002 and AN006 application notes.

MEMORY RESET

Memory reset procedure resets all settings to default ones and results in 192.168.0.213 IP address and empty communication key.
MC16 memory reset procedure:

Disconnect power supply.
Short CLK and IN4 lines.
Restore power supply, all LEDs will flash and wait min. 6s.
Remove connection between CLK and IN4 lines, LEDs will stop pulsating and LED2 will be on.
Wait approx. 1.5 min till LED5+LED6+LED7+LED8 are pulsating.
Restart the controller (switch power supply off and on).
Start RogerVDM and make low level configuration.

FIRMWARE UPDATE

New firmware can be uploaded to the controller with RogerVDM software. The latest firmware file is available at www.roger.pl.
MC16 firmware update procedure:

Connect with the controller using RogerVDM software.
Backup settings by clicking Send to File…
In the top menu select Tools and then Update firmware.
Select firmware file and then click Update.
After firmware update wait till LED8 is pulsating. Start memory reset if necessary.
Make or restore low level configuration in RogerVDM software.
Note: During the firmware update process, it is necessary to ensure continuous and stable power supply for the device. If interrupted, the device may require repair by Roger.

POWER SUPPLY

MC16 controller is designed for power supply from 230VAC/18VAC transformer with minimal power output 20VA, but it can also be supplied with 12VDC and 24VDC. In case of 12VDC power supply, backup battery cannot be directly connected to MC16 and in such case backup power supply must be provided by 12VDC power supply unit.

Notes:

In case of read-in door, single reader is connected to the controller. MCT terminal can be then installed with default ID=100 address.
In case of PRT readers, the diagram is the same as in case of MCT readers except for connection to CLK and DTA lines instead of RS485 A and B lines.
In case of electrically incompatible Wiegand readers it might be necessary to install MCI-7 interfaces.
In case of OSDP interface readers including OSR series readers it is necessary to install MCI-3 interfaces on RS485 bus.
Diagrams include doors with electric strikes. In case of electromagnetic lock, the NC terminal of relay is used instead of NO terminal.
Diagrams include exit buttons. In case of read-in/out doors they can be used for emergency door opening.
Note: The device has an Ethernet network communication interface. In principle, the device can be used in both WAN and LAN, while the manufacturer’s warranty is covered only for operation in an isolated LAN reserved exclusively for the access control system or other system in which the device is to be used.
