CLOUD BASED SYSTEM FOR MANAGING THE FIELD DEVICES AND CONTROLLERS AND A METHOD THEREOF

摘要

pA system for managing the field devices and controllers in a building has a set of field devices placed on site in a building, and configured with a set of physical controllers through respective input/output modules. A set of cloud controllers is configured with the physical controllers as simulators or simulated controllers for the selected physical controllers. A resource managing system/BMS is configured with the physical controllers and the cloud simulated controllers such that, during failover or upgrade of physical controllers, the simulated controllers in the cloud act as the standby to the selected physical controllers. The input/ output module detects the failure in the physical controllers and automatically switches the connection of the field devices to the respective simulated controllers in the cloud. Fig.l/p
