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:
MC-EDGE Specifications.

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.
7. Fully bi-directional communication.

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 I/O Module LEDs
The I/O module LEDs are used to indicate module and I/O status. LED indications are
arranged according to the pins in the connectors.
The Input module has one LED indication for each I/O. The Output module has two LED
indications for each DO and one LED indication for each AO. See Table 1-5, Table 1-6, and
Table 1-7 for LED functionality of the modules.
The Mixed IO Module has Two LED indications for each DO and one LED indication for AO one
LED indication for each input.

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.
Figure 9. MC-EDGE Input Module I/O Arrangement
For details on AI calibration, see the "MC-EDGE Hardware Test" section of the MC-EDGE
Easy Configurator User Guide.
MC-EDGE Output Module I/O Arrangement
In the Output module, the upper pins belong to the 8 Digital Outputs. The first four DOs
are Electrically Energized (EE). The EE DOs are arranged in groups of three pins per
relay, e.g. NC1:COM1:NO1. The second four DOs are Magnetically Latched (ML). The
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
arranged in groups of three pins, e.g. AOv1+:AO1-:AOi1+.
5. AOv1+:AO1- and AOv2+:AO2- are Voltage output pins.
6. AOi1+:AO1- and AOi2+:AO2- are current output pins.
The PGNDAO pins must be connected to protected ground (ground screw). The AOs are
calibrated in the factory.
