The invention relates to a networked control system, comprising a plurality of devices (100a, 100b, 100c), wherein each device (100a, 100b, 100c) is specified by a corresponding device logic and means (332) for collecting the device logics of the plurality of devices (100a, 100b, 100c) and for specifying a runtime behaviour of at least one device (100b) of the plurality of devices (100a, 100b, 100c) based on a device logic corresponding to the at least one device (100b). The networked control system further comprises means (334) for generating at least one device independent control logic program which defines the runtime behaviour of the at least one device (100b) and an apparatus for translating the at least one device independent control logic program into a device specific control logic code which is assigned to a selected device (100c).
摘要:
Networked control systems and methods include a plurality of devices connected to a network. At least one device has a logical address that includes a device type and a device location in an environment of the device in a user readable and understandable format, such as English or other languages. The system further includes a processor connectable to the network and configured to execute control logic using the logical addresses. A memory is provided for storing a mapping from the logical address to a physical network address of the device.

A networked control system (100) includes a plurality of devices connected to a network. At least one device (120) has a logical address that includes a device type, a device owner, an intended device function and a device feature and/or a device location in an environment of the device. The control logic for the at least one device (120) is designed and executed using the logical address, whereby the execution is performed by processor (110), either in distributed fashion by an embedded processor (110) of the at least one device (120) or centrally by a central processor (110) connectable to the network (100). A memory (130), which may be centralized and/or distributed, is provided for storing a mapping from the logical address to a physical network address of the device (120).
摘要:
The invention relates to composing a lighting atmosphere from an abstract description for example a lighting atmosphere specified in XML, wherein the lighting atmosphere is generated by several lighting devices, by automatically rendering the desired lighting atmosphere from the abstract description. The abstract description describes the type of light with certain lighting parameters desired at certain semantic locations at certain semantic times. This abstract atmosphere description is automatically transferred to a specific instance of a lighting system (14, 16, 18). The invention has the main advantage that it allows to create light scenes and lighting atmospheres at a high level of abstraction without requiring the definition of a lighting atmosphere or scene by setting the intensity, color, etc. for single lighting units or devices which can be very time consuming and cumbersome, particularly with large and complex lighting systems comprising many lighting devices.

The invention relates to a compiler and a method for compiling control logic for a plurality of devices of a networked control system, particularly to the automated assignment of control logic to devices. The invention provides with a compilation an automatic assignment procedure of an executable runtime code to devices of a networked control system. The assignment process of control logic to the devices may take various optimization criteria into account which include various distribution aspects, e.g. network resources or capabilities, such as available bandwidth or reliability of the network links, and device resources or capabilities, e.g. CPU, memory, power source or sleeping behaviour which may influence the observed behaviour of the devices, e.g. due to transmission delay or data packet loss.

The invention relates to a method for replacing a device in a network comprising a plurality of devices. The method includes a step of storing (132) replicated data of a first device in a storage means, a step of removing (352) the first device from the network, a step of connecting (354) a second device to the network, a step of providing (262) a replacement information comprising the first identifier and a step of providing (272) the replicated data of the first device from the storage means to the second device.

The invention relates to a networked control system including comprising a resource limited device (102) and an assigned proxy device (104). The resource limited device (102) comprises a device logic (122) for providing a change notification message to the assigned proxy device (104) on a change of a device state of the resource limited device, wherein each device state of the resource limited device (102) is defined by a corresponding state variable and wherein the change notification message comprises a state variable corresponding to an actual device state of there source limited device (102). The assigned proxy device (104) comprises means (142) for receiving a change notification message from an assigned resource limited device (102), wherein the change notification message comprises a state variable which defines an actual device state of the resource limited device and means (144) for distributing a state variable change notification, comprising the state variable which defines the actual device state of the resource limited device, within the networked control system according to requirements of a control application (162) of the networked control system.
