Profilux 4 / Doser 2.1

I am looking to purchase a controller. Wanted to go with the best and have decided to go Profilux 4. I prob will not be buying both at the same time but I am in need of a doser right away. Since I was going to go with Profilux I figured I would get there doser. If I get the 2.1 4 pump stand alone doser will it work with the Profilux 4 system when I buy it? I see they have a master and a slave. To my knowledge the slave will only work with the Profilux 4 system but can the 2.1 stand alone master unit be transformed into a slave unit when I do get the Profilux 4?

You are correct; a Stand Alone can be turned into a slave.
Stand Alone can be run in master mode, stand alone for the time being, then expanded to with additional master or slave chassis, or turned into a slave and connected to another Master, or a ProfiLux 3/4 which will act as it's master.

You can use the Doser 2 ways.

1. If it's a stand alone then you can program it via the dosing app or through GCC.

2. If it's a slave then you can program it through GCC or MyGHL or the Connect App. In this mode the Doser is connected to the Profilux via a PAB Cable.

The PAB cable is not included at all with either model.
