There can only be one reactor PLC per reactor. One RTU can be connected to multiple devices, such as all your turbines and boilers regardless of which reactor they are connected to, since the RTU configuration defines the actual assignments. Overloading one RTU with 10+ devices may cause it to run slower, so in that case you may want to use more than one. For further details and recommendations, see the [RTU Gateway](RTU-Gateway) page. -To connect Mekanism machines to PLCs and RTUs, you can put a computer directly in contact with it or use ComputerCraft wired modems. - -> When connecting devices via wired modems, make sure that the network cables don't combine different computer's peripherals, e.g. don't have a single network cable connecting multiple devices to multiple RTUs. Each RTU/PLC should only connect to the devices it uses.

Therefor, a single file installation program is available titled `ccmsi.lua` (cc-mek-scada installer). The installation process pulls down a file called `install_manifest.json`. Do not delete this as it is required for updating or uninstalling an already installed application.
