The controller that acts as master is configured by using the settings that are described in
The PLA and ELA, and IP addresses for each slave must be entered in the master configuration. The slave
unit PLA and ELA addresses are clearly labelled on the slave controller casings.
If the master uses port 1 or port 2 for communication with the slaves, the
Port [nr] function
setting must be
configured with the value
Exoline master
. The
Port [nr] function
setting is located in the
