Master/Slave mode allows a single MotionOrb (the master) to control the actions of one or more
MotionOrb products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. Master/Slave configuration involves
doing the following:
· Configuring the slaves with the MS mode and MS address.
· Configuring the master.
· Setting the master to Sound or Automatic mode.
The master and slaves are daisy chained though the DMX In and Out ports with the master at
the beginning of the chain. For more information see
The MotionOrb products have three different Master/Slave modes in which they operate singly,
or in groups of 2, or in groups of 3.
· When configured singly there is one master and any number of slaves duplicating the
master.
· When configured in groups of 2 there is 1 master plus 1 slave for a group of 2. Then there
are any number of groups of slaves, with the 1st in the group duplicating the master and the
2nd in the group duplicating the slave.
· When configured in groups of 3 there is 1 master plus 2 slaves for a group of 3. Then there
are any number of groups of slaves, with the 1st in the group duplicating the master, the 2nd
in the group duplicating the 1st slave, and the 3rd in the group duplicating the 2nd slave.
See the diagrams below for the Master/Slave modes and how they group the MotionOrb
products.
