Sensors

:!: AIU broadcasts must be disabled for proper operation.
In Rocrail, the sensor addresses can be calculated from the AIU address: sensor address = AIU address * 16 + number of input - 1.

Number

Number of connected AIU's (14 bit sensor modules, max. 63)

Offset

The first AIU address.
If the first AIU has address 10 then the Offset must be set to "10". All following AIU's must have consecutive addresses (so 10, 11, 12 etc).
