The NEDMO exists in 3 states: Pairing, Controlling, and Refueling. Pairing is the default state that the NEDMO will default to on reboot or after communications is lost. When communications are established the NEDMO tranisitions to the Controlling state, where it sends commands at 5Hz to the ØILUS. When the refueling action is started, the NEDMO transitions to the Refueling state until the action is completed.
