摘要 |
An observed operational state can include an operational state of one or more system devices. A sensor can emit, in response to a detected observable condition reflective of a given operational state, a simulated signal reflective of a different operational state as a proxy for the detected condition. A controller receiving such a proxy signal can, at least partially responsively to the proxy signal, issue a command corresponding to the given operational state. For example, a leak detector can emit in response to a detected leak, or a flow-rate sensor can emit in response to a detected flow-rate of a liquid, a simulated fan-speed tachometer signal representative of a selected fan speed. At least partially in response to observing a simulated tachometer signal, a controller can issue a system command corresponding to an underlying system condition for which the simulated tachometer signal is a proxy. |

1. A control system, comprising:
a sensor configured to emit a simulated signal corresponding to a selected physical parameter as a proxy for an observed operational parameter different from the selected physical parameter; a controller configured to receive the simulated signal and to infer from the simulated signal a state of the observed operational parameter. |
