Master Controller with multiple Follower Controllers (wired/wireless - hybrid network)
Example 1
It is possible to create hybrid networks, where wireless communication supports and complements wired daisy-chains. In this
situation, a PL-TREE-COM will be added to the daisy-chain to gap the link between the Master and all its Followers. ( Fi g ur e 11)
1. The PL-TREE-COM on the M2000 Master's side must be connected in the NET port and be set as the "ROOT".
2. The Followers Network PL-TREE-COM can be inserted anywhere within their own wired daisy-chain. This device must be
set as the "LEAF".
3. Both TREE-COM modules must have their dipswitches set for the same channel number.
