Devices / Masters

Devices that control the slave devices (smart meters) are called master devices. In the simpliest way your computer can be the master device, but the master device can also be placed between the slaves and your computer. When you use your computer as the master device, communication goes on the COM ports, such as: USB, D-sub and so on.
