NOTE:
Changing the cabling of the devices by accident can also change the operat-
ing mode of the central module.
To avoid such accidental changes, the operating mode of each central module can
be separately adjusted in the on-screen display of the respective device.
Auto:
The central module defines if it works in the master or slave mode.
Master:
In this operating mode, only user modules can be connected to the
Dynamic Ports that are configured for the connection of target mod-
ules.
You can change the names of the connected target modules. The
changed names are automatically updated on the slave devices of the
cascade.
Slave:
In this operating mode the names of connected target modules can-
not be changed. The names of the target modules are automatically
obtained from the master device.
