1. A component of a master-slave robotic surgical system, the robotic surgical system for effecting, via a network, robotic tissue manipulating movement within a patient in response to manual manipulation by a surgeon, the component comprising:
- a linkage for interacting with the tissue or surgeon;
circuitry coupling the linkage to the network, the circuitry configured to communicating robotic information regarding the linkage over the network as a series of packets, each packet having an identifier indicating the source of the packet.

Abstract
A medical system that allows a medical device to be controlled by one of two input devices. The input devices may be consoles that contain handles and a screen. The medical devices may include robotic arms and instruments used to perform a medical procedure. The system may include an arbitrator that determines which console has priority to control one or more of the robotic arms/instruments.

4. A processor of a robotic surgical system, the robotic surgical system comprising a plurality of components for effecting robotic tissue manipulating movement within a patient in response to manual manipulation by a surgeon, the processor comprising:
-
an output for transmitting signals to a plurality of robotic arm ports;
an input for receiving commands from a plurality of input device ports;
a master-slave controller for deriving signals configured to effect movement of each robotic arm in response to movement of an associated input device; and
a memory embodying a start-up routine, the start-up routine configured to accommodate a hot plug of a first component of the robotic surgical system into the other components of the robotic surgical system after initialization of the system and without shutting the system down. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
