MLC 226 Series • Introduction1-4
PRELIMINARY
The MLC can be configured completely via the Windows-based configuration
software. Once you have set up how you want it to work (assigned drivers to
ports, configured buttons and relays, and set up IP addresses and functions), that
information is saved to a configuration file which is uploaded into the MLC.
The configuration information is used to create the “main event” (0.evt) script file
that defines the MLC’s operation. The main event file also controls and monitors
ports, optional SCP control pad(s), and changes made at the MLC’s front panel.
Each button on the MLC and on any connected SCPs, control modules (IRCMs,
ACMs, RCMs), or the IR 402 remote control has two switch numbers assigned to it:
one for the button press, one for release. Scripts are compiled to generate the main
event file to monitor any button press or release and to generate the actions (issuing
commands, triggering relays, switching inputs) associated with the buttons.
