Systems and methods for improved liquid dispensing system communications are disclosed. In an example method for communicating control data between a plurality of component of a liquid dispensing system, a controller of a first component of a liquid dispensing system publishes a control data message to a composite controller associated with the plurality of component. Based on a classification of the control data message, a second component is determined to be a subscriber for the control data message. The composite controller then transmits the control data message to a controller of the second component.
A method of communicating control data between a plurality of components of a liquid dispensing system, the method comprising:
3 The method of claim 2, wherein the subscriber profile indicates a subscription to control data messages associated with the classification of the control data message.
A method for adding a liquid dispensing system component to a composite system comprising a composite controller and a plurality of liquid dispensing systems, the method comprising:
30-31. (canceled)
34-36. (canceled)
(canceled)
A device for controlling a plurality of components of a liquid dispensing system, the device comprising:
43-49. (canceled)
50 The device of claim 39, wherein activation of a first control tile of the plurality of control tiles causes the user interface to display a second control tile associated, via a common functional aspect of the liquid dispensing system, with the activated control tile.
(canceled)
The device of claim 50, wherein a functional aspect of the liquid dispensing system is associated with at least one of temperature, a heater, a pump, a pump motor, needle stroke, dispensing pattern, liquid fill level, liquid pressure, and maintenance.
The device of claim 50, wherein the first control tile is configured to display an operating parameter status associated with the common functional aspect and the second control tile is configured to receive a user input to modify an operating parameter associated with the common functional aspect.
54-61. (canceled)
62 A method for controlling a liquid dispensing system, the method comprising:
The method of claim 62, wherein managing at least one of the display of the control data and the modification of the control data comprises:
(canceled)
The method of claim 62, wherein managing at least one of the display of the control data and the modification of the control data comprises:
67-70. (canceled)
The method of claim 62, further comprising:
72-73. (canceled)
A control system for a liquid dispensing system, the control system comprising:
75-79. (canceled)
