Abstract

In one example, an automation controller includes an electronic processor, a memory, a first peer messaging interface configured to connect to a first peer device, a second peer messaging interface configured to connect to a second peer device, and an input/output interface. The electronic processor is configured to receive, via the input/output interface, an interrupter status signal, and to transmit, via the first or second peer messaging interface, a message to a peer device based on the interrupter status signal. The electronic processor is also configured to receive a message from the peer device indicating a status of a peer interrupter, and to update an interrupter status variable in memory based on the status of the peer interrupter and the interrupter status signal. The electronic controller is also configured to transmit a signal to open or close an interrupter based on the updated interrupter status variable.
