Using the MMI port (when using enclosures)

IMPORTANT NOTE: A circular military (MIL-C-26482) weatherproof connector is available on the
Xcore enclosure only. Use the external MMI connector for local communication. Use either the USB
or Ethernet port for direct connection if the RMC has been installed standalone.
Use the USB port and a RS-232-to-USB adapter for laptops without legacy DB-9 RS-232 ports. ABB
recommends and sells the Digi® Edgeport®/1 converter (part number 1801382-001). Contact
technical support to order or for more details.
Table 4-3 provides the cabling specifications for the MMI port.

To set up communication using the MMI port:
1. Power on the RMC and the laptop.
2. Connect the MMI cable. An annunciator in the LCD displays an uppercase "L" for MMI
connection.
3. Launch PCCU.
4. Click Setup on the PCCU32 toolbar. The System Setup window displays.
Click Serial port under Communications>PCCU Connect Method.
5.
6. Select the port from the PCCU Com. Port drop-down list.
Click Close.
7.
8. Click Entry on the PCCU32 toolbar to connect to the device. The PCCU32 Entry screen displays
when the connection is successful. If the RMC calendar clock does not match the laptop's date
and time, a message displays to synchronize the date and time.
9. Click Yes. The RMC calendar clock synchronizes with the laptop date and time.
10. Configure the RMC.

Format Description
10-digit The station identifier code uniquely identifies each station. The
alphanumeric station ID is the same for all tubes on a multiple tube station. If it
is blank on a single tube device, the station ID is the same as the
device ID.
10-digit The identifier uniquely identifies each device. For a single tube
alphanumeric device, the ID identifies the device and is the same ID as the
Station ID.
24-digit The identifier describes the location, such as the county name or
alphanumeric road number.
MM/DD/YYYY Date and time must agree with the collection equipment if
HH:MM:SS measurement tubes are instantiated.
