Master vs. Slave

Each Irinos system has exactly one master box. This is the Irinos box that is connected to the PC via Ethernet. All other (optional) Irinos boxes are called slave boxes.

After power on, each Irinos box first acts as a slave box. It then checks whether a network cable is connected (i.e. Ethernet link active). If this is the case, it automatically becomes the master box and communicates this to the other boxes.

The use of several Ethernet connections in one system is not permitted.

Information for users who already know the "Irinos IR" system:

The "Irinos EC" system differs in this respect from the classic "Irinos IR" system, where each box is either a master or slave box when delivered.
