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.
