3.8.6 MSC
The MSC (Multi System control) is used to communicate with other DSE modules in a system.
The MSC is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32
Generator controller and another 8 Mains / Bus tie devices giving a maximum of 40 units)
The maximum distance is 250M using Belden 9841, 120ohm impedance screened twisted pair cable.
This can be extended using DSE124 Can Bus Extender
NOTE: Version 86xx V 5.0 included a change to the MSC link protocol which is not
compatible with lower versions until the lower versions have been upgraded to version 5.0
(This can be done using “Update Firmware” in Configuration Suite Software) .
NOTE: At version 5.1+ The MSC communication changed to enable 86xx ranges to
communicate with 55xx and 75xx range of modules.
When using 55xx or 75xx with 86xx the MSC capability lowers to that of the 55xx/ 75xx series.
i.e. Max units that can be used together in the case of 55xx,75xx would be 16 generators on the
MSC link at anyone time, not the 32 Gen sets that the DSE86xx is specified.
3.8.7 ETHERNET
The DSE8610 is fitted with ETHERNET socket for connection to LAN (local area networks)
