Operation Mode »Mirror Image«

A combination of two or more Raindancer Beacons can optionally be used to reflect another device to be remotely monitored and controlled. Using this method, all signals coming from or going a Beacon will be available to a »Mirror« Beacon, via a »virtual cable extension«. Periphery connected to the »Mirror« (e.g. a PLC) can retrieve this information, process it and control the remotely
controlled device via commands sent from this »Mirror« to its actual counterpart. 

The number of devices configured as »Mirror« are practically unlimited.

In order for a Beacon to be able to function as a »Mirror Image«, it has to undergo proper preparation, using a special configuration.
