1. An actuator in a HVAC system, the actuator comprising:
- a mechanical transducer;
an input data connection;
a feedback data connection; and
a processing circuit configured to use a master-slave detection signal communicated via the feedback data connection to select an operating mode for the actuator from a set of multiple potential operating modes comprising a master operating mode and a slave operating mode;
wherein the processing circuit is configured to operate the mechanical transducer in response to a control signal received via the input data connection according to the selected operating mode.

Abstract
An actuator in a HVAC system includes a mechanical transducer, an input data connection, a feedback data connection, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to use a master-slave detection signal communicated via the feedback data connection to select an operating mode for the actuator from a set of multiple potential operating modes including a master operating mode and a slave operating mode. The processing circuit is configured to operate the mechanical transducer in response to a control signal received via the input data connection according to the selected operating mode.
