A first generator set may store, in a memory of the first generator set, data representing local attributes associated with an engine. The first generator set may receive, via a network switch of the first generator set, remote data representing remote attributes associated with a second generator set. The first generator set may cause the first controller to update, based on the remote data, the local data in the memory to synchronize the local attributes with the remote attributes. The first generator set may transmit, via the network switch, an indication that the local data was successfully updated in the memory.

Generator set with multiple controllers for load sharing

A client device may identify a first parameter that is to be updated periodically and a second parameter that is to be updated based on a state change. The client may transmit, via a negotiation session, a request to the server device. The request indicates that the server device is to periodically provide information indicating a current value of the first parameter and is to provide information indicating an updated value of the second parameter when a state of the second parameter changes. The client device may periodically receive, from the server device and via a second communication protocol, a first datagram including the current value of the first parameter and may receive a second datagram including the updated value of the second parameter based on the server device determining that the current state of the second parameter has changed.
