Tac/Com Control Head Manual

SM06 Rev. 4.10

1.3.4Master/Slave Configuration

One powerful configuration that NAT's Tac/Com controls support is the master/slave configuration. In this configuration, two controls can be active at the same time (flight crew and medical crew, for example), and both can select channels and radios. The extraordinary aspect of this interface is the fact that this interconnect requires only 6 additional wires to give full support to both stations. Dual controls wired with other units often require hundreds of wires, and still permit only a single control to be active at one time.

A typical master/slave interconnect is illustrated below for clarification. Many variations are possible, and the controls can be 2, 3 or 4 radio types, if required.
