NOTE: Each controller is attached to the hub, which is in turn attached to the host computer. Visual Supervisor provides data collection, diagnostics and configuration functions, but the individual controllers may also have changes made to them. These changes are then communicated back to the computer, via the Ethernet, and the change recorded in Visual Supervisor.
