Figure 9 - MCN RCD Group Configuration Example
In this system, assume that the four MCN modules have the following unit
addresses assigned to them:
• CIB #1 (connected to comparator 1) is Group 00, Module 0
• CIB #2 (connected to comparator 2) is Group 00, Module 1
• CIB #3 (connected to comparator 3) is Group 00, Module 2
• HIB is Group 80, Module 0
These addresses were assigned during system installation so that all of the CIBs of
the system were addressed to the same MCN Group. Therefore, only one Group
Configuration File needs to be created for the system. If the CIBs were addressed
into three different MCN Groups, then three Group Configuration Files would
have to be created, one for each CIB.
To create a Group Configuration File for this system, do the following:
1. Execute the Files New Group Configuration command
2. Execute the Edit Group Number command
3. Enter 00 as the new Group number
4. Select the
OK
box or press
E
5. Enter receiver names and channel names/notes for the following
receivers (see Figure 10 and Figure 11):
• 00:0:1 through 00:0:8 (receivers for CIB #1)
• 00:1:1 through 00:1:8 (receivers for CIB #2)
• 00:2:1 through 00:2:8 (receivers for CIB #3)
6. Execute the File Save command
7. Enter the file name SYSTEM1
