3.9. PC Support Software for Magnum
MCS-Config provides the configuration file (.cfg), which includes the input/output points list, Setpoints,
circuit information, etc., for all versions of software. This program is designed to assist and make the task
of building the configuration file as simple as possible. A manual created in a PDF format is available on
our web site: www.MCScontrols.com, or available in other formats upon request.
MCS-Connect provides both local and remote communications to the Magnum independent of software
type. Local communications can be either through an RS485 or Ethernet connection. This program
displays the status of the controller, and changes can be made to the system with proper authorization.
Configuration files can be transmitted to or received from a Magnum unit. The Magnum automatically
performs history logging and this program allows the data to be presented in a useful graph form. A
manual created in a PDF format is available on our web site: www.MCScontrols.com, or available in other
formats upon request.
