The memory relay is a device used to transfer a data fileds from one memory chip to another, allowing for data fields to be linked with different field names.
Memory relays separate sub-networks allowing for one-way broadcasting of variable changes, enabling the creation of modular YOLOL systems.

Basic information

• Memory Relays are connected to two separate data networks via cable sockets at both ends of the device, or by conection to modular device racks.
  • One side (left) of the relay acts as the "input" connection.
  • The other side (right) acts as the "output" connection.
• When the relay is powered, changes made to device fields on the input chip will propagate to the coresponding device field on the output chip.
  • For example the field in position 3 on the input chip will be propagated to the field in position 3 on the output chip, regardless of name.
  • Values between networks are not automatically synchronized.
    • This means that connected networks may contain different values for similarly named device fields.
• Both sides of the relay must be enabled for device field changes to propagate.
