Automatic configuring of intelligent sensors and actuators, e.g for control or monitoring of boilers

摘要

A typical distributed system 10 consists of one or more components 12 that can be combined to form nodes or virtual nodes 14A.Each node communicates with a network 16 that can be via an intelligent node 18 or hub. Nodes also connect with different physical parameter sensors, e.g pressure, temperature or force 20. The system has an automatic procedure for establishing the context parameters appropriate to a specific application, e.g boiler control.
