1 Technical Description
The MC is a Wireless LAN-Adapter that c nnects devices via Ethernet, USB r serial P rt t wireless
netw rks c nf rming t the 802.11a/b/g/n standard.
The MC can c nnect via these interfaces:
1. 1, 2 r 4 P rt LAN
2. serial RS232 , 422, 485 interface
3. USB2 p rt
The central c mp nent f the MC is a ARM® C rtex®-A9 Pr cess r which c ntr ls all functi nality.
The different p rts are:
1) Mini-PCI-Express S cket
2) Ethernet-Interface with 1-4 P rts 10/100/1000 Mbit/s + Aut -MDIX (aut cr ss ver functi n)
3) 1 x serial P rt with six c ntr l lines (RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, RI)
4) 1 x USB2 – P rt e.g. f r printers r p rt extensi ns
5) pti nal: relay switching c ntact + input with pt c upler
MC Manual Versi n 2.10c

The Ethernet c nnecti n is c nnected via an RJ45 c nnect r. LAN p rt 1 has a P E functi n (IEEE 802.3af)
s that the MC can be p wered by this p rt.
The serial p rt is c nnected by a 9pin D-SUB plug. The assignment is selected in a way that a 1:1 serial
cable can be used f r the c nnecti n t a serial COM-P rt f a PC. The exact assignment can be seen in
Figure 2.
The p wer supply f r the MC device needs a v ltage s urce f 10-72V. The usual p wer c nsumpti n is
ar und 3-4 Watt (WLAN + LAN-P rt active).
1.1 Ports of the MC1
The f ll wing figures sh w h w the LEDs and p rts f the MC are arranged.
Figure 2 sh ws the MC1 in its standard design with ne serial P rt, a 5pin M12 c nnect r f r p wer supply
and a relay switching c ntact.
There are different pti n f r the p wer c nnect r f the MC devices:

1.4 Meaning of the LEDs
The 4 LEDs n the fr nt represent the perating state f the MC. All LEDs can shine in three different c l rs:
red, yell w, blue. If all three c l rs are n, the LEDs c l r is white.

Table : Properties of the Wireless LAN-Interface
Initial startup
Please c nnect the MC via the Ethernet-P rt with a PC using a patch cable f r the initial startup.
When turning n p wer supply v ltage, all LEDs briefly blink white. After that nly the ON-LED lights up
green, which s n starts blinking range (red & green) and green. This indicates the b t pr cess. After
ab ut 15 sec nds the applicati n is ready and the LEDs indicate the m des described ab ve.
2.1 The MC-Config-Application
F r its initial startup the MC is nly able t c mmunicate via its LAN-P rt because typically there is n
wireless netw rk with a suitable SSID.
MC Manual Versi n 2.10c

Figure 7: Setting for the initial configure of the MC
T d the „first time setup“ the MC has t be c nnected via the LAN-Interface t the c mputer (PC)
that runs the MC-C nfig-Pr gram.
What t take int acc unt:
- The c nnected PC (N teb k) sh uld have a fixed IP-Address n its LAN-P rt (n DHCP).
- The LAN-P rt needs t be rec gnized as active by the perating system f the PC. Y u can check
the LAN-P rt by entering “ipc nfig” in the terminal.
- If the LAN-P rt is rec gnized as active by the PC then press “Refresh” in the MC-C nfig-Applicati n.
- An active Firewall n the PC might prevent c mmunicati n with the MC.
After launch, the MC-C nfig-Applicati n first detects all netw rk interfaces, that are currently active n the
PC. A Br adcast-UDP-Request is then sent ut t all these interfaces and the MC devices will resp nd. The
resp nding devices will be registered and listed in the applicati n.
Besides the device pr perties like name, serial number, s ftware-versi n, IP-Address and MAC-Address, the
Wireless LAN c nnecti n details are displayed as well. Initially the set SSID is visible. As s n as a
c nnecti n t an Access-P int has been established the MAC-Address and the name f the AP are
displayed as well as the signal strength represented by a number and an equivalent backgr und c l r. The
numbers can be interpreted as f ll ws:
Signal >= 40 Very g d c nnecti n
Signal >= 30 G d c nnecti n
Signal >= 20 C nnecti n still sufficient
Signal < 20 C nnecti n impaired, Bit rates are reduced in rder t transfer data
H w t use the MC-C nfig-Applicati n is described in detail in a separate manual.
