A method for operating a server device in a system is disclosed. The server device determines a current process value of at least one process parameter of a process controlled by the system and transmits the determined current process values to a plurality of client devices in the system for each process parameter or a subset thereof via a data network. According to the invention, the server device forms a variable group for at least one process parameter which is to be transmitted to more than one of the client devices. The server device then combines in each case the current process values of the at least one process parameter in the variable group at the different transmission times to form a single multi-target message and at the different transmission times to form a single multi-target message and transmits the multi-target message to a group address in the data network.

A modified dual-duplex fail-operational control system. A primary controller includes a first processing unit and a second processing unit for executing a function. A first comparative module comparing the function results from the first and second processing unit to determine an error the first controller. A second controller includes a first processing unit and second processing unit. The first processing unit executes the function. The second processing unit operating in a non-redundant state and not executing the function while in the non-redundant state. A second comparative module determines whether an error is present in the second controller. A matching function result identified by the first comparative module of the first controller is input to second comparative module of the second controller to determine whether an error is present in the second controller utilizing only the matching function result identified by the first comparative module and the function result determined by the first processing unit of the second controller.

A control system is provided with safety drivers having motion safety functions and with a standard controller that manages data exchanges among devices connected to a field network, wherein: when a connection in the field network is established, the standard controller transmits SRA parameters to the safety drivers via the field network, the SRA parameters including designation information to designate enabling or disabling for each of the motion safety functions; and the safety drivers disable particular motion safety functions that are designated to be disabled by the designation information.

Disclosed are systems and methods for adjusting environmental conditions based on automatically and manually generated requests. A commissioned unit comprising at least one IP luminaire (140, 150), transmits a signal comprising one or more identification codes. The signal may be, for example, a coded light signal. An environment control device (160) receives the signal, detects user input indicating one or more preferred environmental conditions, and transmits an environment control request comprising the one or more preferred environmental conditions. An environment manager module (110) receives the environment control request, generates an environment control command using the control request, and transmits the environment control command to one or more commissioned units to alter environmental conditions in a space in accordance with the user input.

A method for performing computing procedures with a control unit of a transportation vehicle wherein the control unit is not installed in a fixed position in the transportation vehicle, but is instead a removable design. The control unit performs control tasks for transportation vehicle functions in the transportation vehicle and is used outside the transportation vehicle for vehicle-independent calculations. The control unit in the transportation vehicle uses a computing power and/or memory capacity which is/are not required for the control tasks for vehicle-independent calculations in the transportation vehicle, wherein these vehicle-independent calculations are continued outside the transportation vehicle when the control unit is removed from the transportation vehicle.

Examples described herein relate to a system. In some examples, the system includes an interface and circuitry, coupled to the interface. In some examples, the circuitry, when operational, is to: based on detection of multiple management controllers, select a primary management controller and a secondary management controller from among the multiple management controllers. In some examples, the primary management controller is to perform at least one different operation than that of the secondary management controller, the primary management controller comprises a baseboard management controller (BMC), the secondary management controller comprises a BMC, and the multiple management controllers are positioned in at least one programmable network interface device and a host system.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for adaptive dynamic multi-directional resource transmissions. The invention is structured for dynamically authenticating an activity between network devices, identifying resource deficiencies associated with network devices, and deploying adapted mitigation resources at one or more network devices in real-time, and without requiring discontinuation of the activity. Specifically, the invention is structured to determine a first resource deficiency associated with the first resource. In response, the system is structured to transmit a first adapted mitigation resource of the one or more adapted mitigation resources to the first resource in a transmission direction, triggering transmission of a first resource quantity from the first resource to an entity resource on another transmission direction.

A platform services system communicating with and controlling a plurality of power distribution micro-networks is provided. Each power distribution micro-network has its own wireless mesh network and a master control unit for scheduling efficient power allocation to devices in the micro-network and communicating with the platform services system. Each device in the micro-network is controlled by its own satellite unit. Each satellite unit communicates with and receives tokens from its master control unit. Each wireless mesh network uses both a Zigbee protocol and a Dynamic Device Addressing (DDA) protocol. The DDA allows communication with a neighboring micro-network in the event that its master controller cannot communicate with the platform services system.
