The network relay is a device used to separate a network within a ship or station into multiple partially separate sub-networks. Separate sub-networks allow one-way broadcasting of variable changes between them, and enable the creation of modular YOLOL systems.

Basic information

• Network Relays are connected to two separate data networks via cable sockets at both ends of the device
  • One end of the relay acts as the "input" connection
  • The other end acts as the "output" connection
  • The input / output direction is shown through triangles pointing towards the output side
• When the relay is powered, changes made to device fields connected to the input propagate / will apply to all similarly named device fields that are connected to relay output
  • Values between networks are not automatically synchronized
    • This means that connected networks may contain different values for similarly named device fields
• A Network Relay can also not propagate data, by setting MasterIsEnabled or IsEnabled to 0
  • MasterIsEnabled can only be influenced from the Input side
  • IsEnabled can be influenced from the input side if it is propagating data. If it is 0, it can only be influenced from the Output side.

NOTE: the Network relay can only function, if there is no open connection between the separate data networks, like a different network relay or a direct cable connection.

• Use in conjunction with memory relays to transfer power and select data
