A system and method for logging state data from a power system control device on a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a power system supplying power to the computer system. The power system has a power-up sequence having a plurality of stages. The power system control device is coupled to the power system. The power system control device includes a finite state machine circuit having states corresponding to the stages of the power-up sequence. The control device also has a write controller, a storage buffer, and a communication interface. The write controller writes the state of the finite state machine circuit in the storage buffer. An external controller is coupled to the communication interface and is operable to read the stored state data.

A system including a pneumatic actuator having an actuator element, the system further including a compressed-air provision device which is configured to carry out a closed-loop position control of the actuator element by applying compressed air to the pneumatic actuator. The compressed-air provision device is further configured to carry out an assistance procedure in which the actuator element is set in an oscillation movement, pressure values and position values are detected, and, on the basis of the detected pressure values and the detected position values, friction information and/or mass information is determined and/or verified.

A controller that is configured to control operation of a building component may be programmed using a programming tool to build a controller logic that utilizes sub-structures organized within a hierarchal tree, which may then be downloaded to the controller. The controller is operated via the controller logic such that the controller controls operation of the building component. The programming tool may subsequently be used to update one or more of the sub-structures. The one or more updated sub-structures may be downloaded to the controller while not downloading one or more of the sub-structures that were not updated. The method includes continuing to control operation of the building component using the controller logic that now includes the one or more updated sub-structures.

Methods and apparatus for grid connectivity control are provided herein. For example, a method can include receiving status information of a microgrid configured to connect to a grid, transmitting a live status update screen of the microgrid to a user, the live status update screen comprising a grid connectivity button configured to receive a user input and based on a received user input, transmitting a control signal to a microgrid interconnect device connected between the microgrid and the grid for coordinating one of connection or disconnection microgrid connected to the grid.

Sub-systems of air handling units in infrastructures face unresolved problem of conflict in the rules that activate in a contradictory manner at the same time resulting in sub-optimal performance of the subsystems. The present disclosure provides a system and method for optimizing performance parameters of air handling units in infrastructures. Rule sets having conflicting conditions are identified after verification of rules which are specific to air handling units. Further, frequency of the rule sets having conflicting conditions is determined to generate a ranked list of the rule sets having conflicting conditions. Another ranking procedure is implemented for the rules comprised in the ranked list of the rule sets having conflicting conditions. The system dynamically optimizes one or more parameters specific to the performance criteria based on the ranking of rules.
