System that requires more than 16 BC controller ports or with multiple BC controllers
<System with both main and sub BC controllers>
* A system that requires more than 16 BC controller ports requires two or three BC controllers (main and sub), and
three pipes will be used between the main and the sub BC controllers.
* In the system to which indoor units of P72 model or above are connected, neither a branch joint nor a branch header
may be used.
