Controller devices may be configured to execute a network discovery service to identify other devices on a network, including other controller devices, user computing devices, and/or human machine interface devices. The controller devices may communicate with the devices on the network. An individual controller device may, upon connection to a human machine interface device, provide to the human machine interface device via a web server, a graphical user interface from which a user may configure the controller device or connect to another controller device on the network.

Automated network discovery for industrial controller systems

Controller devices may be configured to automatically connect to a remote management server (e.g., a 'cloud'-based management server), and may offload received data and analyses to the remote management server via wired or wireless communications. The controller devices may further communicate with the management server, user computing devices, and/or human machine interface devices, e.g., to provide remote access to the controller device, provide real-time information from the controller device, receive configurations/updates, provide interactive graphical user interfaces, and/or the like.

Industrial controller system and interactive graphical user interfaces related thereto

A method and a gateway system for enabling adaptive power management. The gateway system is powered by a rechargeable battery that is coupled with a solar power source. A location reading indicating a location of the gateway system is transmitted at a first time. A solar profile is received from a management server. The solar profile indicates a measure of power expected to be generated at the location during an interval of time that occurs after the first time by the solar power source. The gateway system determines based on a current battery level of the rechargeable battery and the solar profile an optimal power usage plan for the gateway system and operates according to the optimal power usage plan during the interval of time.

Adaptive power management in a battery powered system based on expected solar energy levels

A method and a management server located in the cloud, for enabling adaptive power management in a gateway system, are described. The management server receives, from the gateway system powered by a rechargeable battery that is coupled with a solar power source, a location measurement indicating the location of the gateway system at a first time. The management server determines a solar profile indicating a measure of the power expected to be generated by the solar power source at the location during an interval of time that occurs after the first time. The management server transmits the solar profile to the gateway system causing the gateway system to determine based on a current battery level of the rechargeable battery and the solar profile an optimal power usage plan for the gateway system and to operate according to the optimal power usage plan during the interval of time.
