Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for assigning footswitches to control specific ports of modular energy systems are disclosed herein. In some aspects, a modular energy system can include an energy module and a display screen. The energy module can include a plurality of ports. The display screen can be configured to render a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI can be configured to display a plurality of widgets corresponding to the ports and display an object indicating that a footswitch is available to be assigned to one of the ports. The GUI can be further configured to allow a user to drag and drop the object into one of the widgets. Dragging and dropping the object into one of the widgets can cause the modular energy system to assign the footswitch to the port corresponding to the widget.
