Parties having different responsibilities and interests at a monitored location can be given a partial view of the totality of the sensor channels of data generated by the various sensors installed at the monitored location. The partial views deliver customized sets of data streams to customers. The selective distribution of sensor information accommodates the divergent interests and needs of parties responsible for tracking the various characteristics of a monitored location.

A universal sensor interface enables selective coupling of one or more sensor module units to a wireless node. Each sensor module unit can contain a suite of sensors selected for a particular sensor application at a monitored location. Reconfiguration of the wireless sensor network can occur seamlessly through the plug-and-play connectivity between the sensor module units and the wireless node.

The presentation of sensor network information can be provided to a user via a customized dashboard web interface. The dashboard web interface can be based on customized transformation and alert functions that can be applied to one or more sensor channels of data produced from sensors at a monitored location. The customized alerts can provide real-time monitoring of targeted conditions at the monitored location.

The disclosed invention relates to a general systems controller gateway. More particularly, the invention relates to a general systems controller gateway that allows equipment such as fossil fuel and electrical generators, refrigeration units, water pumps, engines and the like to be remotely started, stopped, monitored, controlled and located by a technician.

A building management system network interface device is provided. The network interface device includes a processing circuit with a device interface module and a network interface module. The device interface module is communicably coupled to a refrigeration equipment controller and includes an equipment object configured to receive data values and to populate attributes of the equipment object with the data values. The network interface module is communicably coupled to the device interface module and an external network, and is configured to map the attributes of the equipment object to individual data objects and to write the attributes of the equipment object to the mapped individual data objects. The processing circuit is also configured to execute control logic to control the operation of the refrigeration equipment controller based on the data values received from the refrigeration equipment controller and commands received from the external network.

An energy storage system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a control container having a battery system controller (BSC), a master controller connected to the BSC through a first communication line, and a bank battery management system (BBMS) connected to the BSC through a second communication line; and a battery container including a slave controller connected to the master controller through the first communication line, and a rack battery management system (RBMS) connected to the BBMS through the second communication line and for monitoring a state of a corresponding battery rack.

In one embodiment, a device in a serial network de-multiplexes a stream of traffic in the serial network into a plurality of data streams. A particular one of the data streams is associated with a particular endpoint in the serial network. The device determines that data from the particular data stream associated with the particular endpoint should be reported to an entity external to the serial network based on an event indicated by the data from the particular data stream. The device quantizes the data from the particular data stream. The device applies compression to the quantized data to form a compressed representation of the particular data stream. The applied compression is selected based on a data type associated with the data. The device sends a compressed representation of the particular data stream to the external entity as Internet Protocol (IP) traffic.

A configured mode of operation of a wireless sensor node unit can selectively activate a first subset of sensor channels of data and selectively deactivate a second subset of sensor channels of data. The configured mode of operation customizes the sensor functionality in the wireless sensor node unit in support of the delivery of data streams to customers.
