Controller assignment

The Controller assignment can be done in several ways:

• the application code sets the Controller with a message description.
• the Controller is assigned automatically by the CHAI
  • during a Snapshot recall
  • during a Learning procedure, when a Parameter changed somewhere on the network.
• the Controller is assigned remotely from the network
  • by an application able to explore targets and to do matching between Controllers and compatible parameters (e.g. the CopperLan Manager)
  • by the target itself. A CopperLan application exposing parameters is also able to enumerate the Controllers and to assign them.
  • during a SmartConnect procedure.

What is "SmartConnect"?

This is a procedure allowing to get the best control panel assignment for a specific target. Once initiated, the Controller application sends a brief description of its Controllers to the target. The target then tells to the Controller application which Controller to assign to which Parameter.
