Important Safety Information

ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure
requirements.
Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness information and operating instructions
in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio ​(Motorola Publication
part number 6802988C84-B to ​ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.

Notice to Users (FCC and Industry Canada)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada's license-exempt RSS's
per the following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
• Changes or modifications made to this device, not expressly approved by Motorola, could void
the authority of the user to operate this equipment.

“Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication”

MC-EDGE Description
The IoT Mission Critical EDGE is a part of MSI mission critical IoT portfolio which provides
an ecosystem for IoT developers, integrators and users to build out an IoT base solutions

The MC EDGE is an highly secured communication agnostic versatile IoT Gateway which
uses LoRaWAN for Wireless Sensor Connectivity, extensive Physical I/O suite of
interfaces.
The MC EDGE provides a suite of tools for edge analytics creation and data manipulation
creation which varies from easy /intuitive Codeless web based tools to an highly
suffictated C based SDK. The MC EDGE utilize an inherited LTE CAT- 4 and ASTRO
(P25) connectivity capabilities

This solution is targeting two main markets: Mission critical with public safety oriented
solution e.g. smart early warning, Safe city , Perimeter security etc. and critical
infrastructure e.g. Smart water and electricity management

On the mission critical side, Highly secured mission critical IoT ecosystem will create a
major differentiation points as well as migration path between LMR to PS LTE
infrastructure. On the Critical infrastructure side, Communication agnosticism , Highly
reliable Industrial GW will provide a market differentiation and superiority

General Description
MC-EDGE Construction
Each MC-EDGE module is enclosed in a compact protective plastic housing. The CPU
front panel provides easy access to connectors, ports and antennas. The I/O module front
panel includes terminal block connectors for sensor/device wire connection.

The MC-EDGE is mounted on a DIN rail, in a customer-supplied plastic or metal enclosure.

For more information on mounting the unit and for enclosure requirements, see
MC-EDGE Installation​.

For the unit dimensions and weight, see ​Appendix A: MC-EDGE Specifications​.

Inputs and Outputs (I/Os)

The MC-EDGE CPU module includes three Digital Inputs (DI) and one Digital Output (DO). In
addition, up to two Input/Output (I/O) expansion modules can be added to the MC-EDGE
CPU .

For details on the CPU and expansion module I/O specifications, see ​Appendix A:

Built-in Radios
The MC-EDGE unit includes the following set of communication radios:

LoRaWAN software upgradeable (Future option Hardware ready)

LoRa (Low power Radio) for customers that are seeking to deploy Internet of Things (IoT)
applications fast in areas where large distances are involved, yet low capacity is needed.
Wireless Sensors Network Class 1, 8 Channels at freq range of 902 to 928 MHz
LoRa has several benefits and characteristics as detailed below:
1. Long range enables solutions such as smart city applications.
2. Low power means long battery life for devices.
3. Low bandwidth makes it ideal for practical IoT deployments with less data and/or with
data transmissions.
4. Low(er) connectivity costs.
5. Wireless, easy to set up and fast deployment.
6. Security: a layer of security for the network and one for the application with AES
encryption knowing the concerns and security risks regarding IoT.

I/O Expansion Modules

The MC-EDGE RTU can include up to I/O expansion modules. Four I/O module types are
available:
1. Input module with mixed 12 DI and 8 AI 4-20mA
2. Input module with mixed 12 DI and 8 AI 0-5V
3. Output module with mixed 8 DO and 2 AO
4. Mixed IO module with 7 DI 6DO 4 AI 1 AO

The I/O modules are attached in a daisy-chain, with the first module attached to the CPU,
and the next module attached to the first. A cable with two RJ50 connectors is used to
connect the I/O module to the CPU or to another I/O module.

Each I/O module includes a power LED, a link LED (future use), individual I/O status
LEDs, and an array of I/O connectors.

An I/O module can only be added/removed to/from an MC-EDGE unit when the power to
the unit is off.

For detailed specifications of each I/O expansion module, see ​Appendix A:

General Specifications​.

 MC-EDGE Input Module I/O Arrangement
In the Input module, the upper 20 pins belong to the 12 Digital Inputs (DI). DIs are arranged
in groups of three pins, e.g. DI1:COM1-2:DI2. Each group is isolated one from the other and
has its own COM pin. PGNDDI pins must be connected to protected ground (ground
screw).

The lower 20 pins of the Input module belong to the 8 Analog Inputs (AI). AIs are arranged
in couples with positive and negative pins. Each AI channel is isolated from the other and
isolated from the logic circuit. PGNDAI pins must be connected to protected ground (ground
screw). AIs are calibrated in the factory.

ML DOs are arranged in groups of three pins per relay, e.g. R5-r:COM5:R5-s. Each
group is isolated from the other and has its own PGNDDO pin. PGNDDO pins must be
connected to protected ground (ground screw).
The lower pins of the Output module belong to the 2 Analog Outputs (AO). The AOs are

IP Conversion Table for the APX 4000/APX 6500 Radio

Prepare an IP conversion table if the RTU must communicate with another RTU or an IP
Gateway. In the IP conversion table, specify the IP address of each RTU port (site ID +
link ID). This IP address is assigned by the infrastructure operator.

Note that an IP address is obtained from the radio once it is connected to the RTU port over

USB. The IP address obtained from the radio is not the real IP address set by the
infrastructure, but rather a dummy address. This dummy is configured in the radio via the
CPS Mobile Computer IP address parameter (by default 192.168.128.2).

When device LINxL level 0 is retrieved using the MC-EDGE STS Software Diagnostics
tool, the IP Address displayed is this dummy address and not the actual IP address
assigned by the infrastructure operator.

It is recommended to create two IP conversion tables:

1. The first is downloaded to the FIU or IP Gateway on the LAN and includes the site
and IP information for each RTU.
2. The second is downloaded to all RTUs which are connected to the infrastructure with
ASTRO IV&D radios, and includes the site and IP information for the FIU and IP
Gateway.

For detailed instructions on preparing the IP conversion table, refer to the “MDLC over
IP Communication” chapter of the ​ACE3600 STS Advanced Features ​manual.

APX 4000/APX 6500 Radio Programming using CPS

The APX 4000/APX 6500 radio is programmed for MC-EDGE in the factory and is ready

General
This appendix provides the information required for connecting an MC-EDGE RTU
and ACE1100 FEP to various interfaces, as detailed below:
1. Connection to a computer via RS232
2. Connection to a modem via RS232
3. Connection to a PLC/RTU/FEP via RS232
4. Connection to a PLC/RTU/FEP via RS485
5. Connection to a computer via Ethernet
6. Connection to a computer via USB
7. MC-EDGE CPU to MC-EDGE I/O Expansion Module Connection

NOTICE: ​On the MC-EDGE RJ45 RS232 connector, the numbering

of the pins is different than the ACE3600, as shown in Figure 61. Pin
8-1 are left to right. Therefore, only original Motorola MC-EDGE
cables should be used.

Figure 61 MC-EDGE RJ45 RS232 connector

For information on connecting the MC-EDGE to a radio via USB or RS232, see
MC-EDGE Radio Types and Installation Kits​.

Connection to a Computer via RS232

Use this connection to configure an MC-EDGE mixed system using the ACE3600 STS.

To connect the unit’s RS232 serial port to a computer, use the RS232 data cable
(FKN0022), which includes an RJ45-to-RJ45 cable (3008439S01) and an adaptor
(0189968V32) with a male 9-pin, D-type connector. Add a null modem cable
(female-to-female) which is not provided. See Figure 62.

NOTICE: ​The FKN0022 adaptor is not the same adaptor that is used
with the ACE3600.
