Minecraft wiki entry for Transmission, associated text: Scoreboard transmission works by setting values for scoreboard objectives. Scoreboard transmission can be used to transmit simple binary values (as shown below), but scoreboard objectives can store values between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647 (inclusive) and multiple scoreboard objectives can be active at once (though transmitting and receiving many values requires arrays of transmitters and receivers). A single scoreboard transmitter can activate multiple receivers at once and different transmitters can set the scoreboard objective to different values, activating specific sets of receivers and simultaneously deactivating all other receivers. Scoreboard receivers can also respond to ranges of values, instead of just specific values.
