[Main and Sub system controllers (M-NET)]
Each group can be controlled by a Main system controller or a Sub system controller.
AE-200/AE-50 is exclusively for use as a Main system controller and cannot be used as a Sub system controller.
Main system controller
Main system controller refers to a system controller that controls all other system controllers including the units
they control. If a given system has only one system controller, that controller becomes a Main system controller.
Group settings and interlock settings can be made only from a Main system controller.
Sub system controller
Sub system controller refers to a system controller that is controlled by a Main system controller.
The system cannot be configured as shown in the examples below.
● Groups that are not under the control of a Main system controller cannot be controlled from a Sub system controller.
● Each group cannot be placed under the control of two or more Main system controllers.
● Sub system controllers cannot be placed under the control of two or more Main system controllers.
