## Device Layout ## Device Layout
One common thing with all devices is that they each require one wireless modem to allow connections. The comms code as currently written *requires* the use of a wireless modem (devices will not operate without one, except for the reactor PLC which can run in a standalone mode). It is HIGHLY encouraged that you use an ender modem rather than a typical wireless modem, as ender modems have infinite range and work across dimensions, while wireless modems have limited distances. A common requirement for all devices is requiring one wireless modem to allow connections. The communications code as written *requires* the use of a wireless or ender modem. Devices will not operate without one, with the one exception being the reactor PLC, when configured in non-networked standalone mode. In this mode, it can operate on its own as a safety system, replacing a basic redstone breaker circuit.
A typical setup would have a reactor PLC per reactor, one or more RTUs connected to the various machines (turbines, boilers, dynamic tanks, etc), one supervisor, and one coordinator. There can ONLY be one supervisor and one coordinator per system. 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 lets you declare which is for which. More than one RTU can be of course used as well. For further details and recommendations, see the [RTU Gateway](RTU-Gateway) page. It is **HIGHLY** encouraged that you use an ender modem rather than a standard wireless modem, as ender modems have infinite range and work across dimensions, while wireless modems have limited distances. If devices are not connecting, the cause may be using wireless modems too far away from each other.
A facility setup would have one supervisor computer, one coordinator computer, one reactor PLC computer per reactor, and one or more RTUs connected to the various other machines (turbines, boilers, dynamic tanks, etc).
> There can only be one supervisor and one coordinator per system. 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. This won't cause software issues, but it will cause your configuration to be more confusing.
**When connecting to Mekanism machines, if the multiblock you are interacting with has a Logic Adapter (e.g. Fission Reactor Logic Adapater), you need to connect to that. Otherwise, connect to a Port (e.g. Induction Port, SPS Port) or a Valve (e.g. Boiler Valve, Turbine Valve, Dynamic Tank Valve).** If it isn't a multiblock, you can just put the modem/computer next to the device on most sides, just not on top of a Solar Neutron Activator, as it will prevent it from getting sunlight.
