When power is applied, how is one MC designated?

One mode controller (MC) is designated as the Master MC when power is initially applied to the system. This designation is significant because the Master MC is responsible for overseeing and managing the entire operation of the system, ensuring it functions correctly and efficiently. The Master MC coordinates the actions of other controllers and takes precedence in controlling the system, allowing for coordinated responses to inputs and conditions.

In contrast, other designations such as Shadow, Secondary, and Captain may refer to different roles or statuses within the system hierarchy, but they do not hold the primary control or leadership role that the Master MC does. The Master's role is crucial for maintaining overall system integrity, especially during power-up when initial configurations and responses need to be established.
