PROGRAMMING MASTER/SLAVE SYSTEMS
Programming a Master/Slave System is essentially programming a system with two MSC-400s. Each Controller
U
will be configured for the devices it is sensing and controlling, the main differences are, in Configure Home,
MSC400 Properties controlled by the Master are set to Master and the devices sensed and controlled by the
S
Slave are set to Slave. Additionally, each Controller is configured with a different RFID. The remote(s) used in a
I
Master/Slave system are also set up essentially the same as in a single controller system, but are also config-
ured for two RFID's...one for the Master and one for the Slave.
N
Smart Macros, in Master/Slave Systems, are programmed exactly the same as with single controller systems. As
G
long as the individual Connected Device Properties and Sensor Input assignments are correct, Smart Macros
need no additional programming. However, in a Master/Slave system, the two controllers must be connected
via Output Port 12 on both controllers so the Master can communicate with the Slave to tell it when to output
C
specific commands in Smart Macros. To make this connection work, the PORT 12 TO SLAVE BOX must be
checked when downloading to both controllers. See section: CONNECTIONS/MASTER SLAVE SYSTEMS for
C
additional information. Pg#
P
For the purpose of explanation, an Example System with 15 devices will be used. The Master Controller has
eleven A/V Connected Devices, both IR and RS232 Controlled, and the Slave has four automation Devices
also both IR and RS232 controlled. All Smart Macros for this system have already been created and will not be
E
covered in this section. See section: MACRO GROUPS AND SMART MACROS for additional information.
