Abstract:
Systems and methods for setting up and operating a motor control system are provided. Such systems and methods can include a parent device that includes a digital library of control commands and a child device. A child device can transmit a unique identification code to the parent device and the parent device can identify, from the digital library, a group of control commands specific to the child device using the unique identification code, generate an address for the child device, and transmit a copy of the address to the child device for storage thereon. The parent device can transmit a control signal that includes the address and one of the control commands from the first group to the child device and, responsive thereto, the child device can perform an action when the address matches the copy of the address stored on the child device.
