Abstract
Various embodiments relate to a method, apparatus, and machine-readable storage medium including one or more of the following: receiving word of a network failure; receiving election as leader of a partition; determining subsystems completely in the partition; starting control processes for equipment in the subsystems completely in partition; and starting sensor processes for equipment in the subsystems completely in partition.
Claims20
A method for a controller controlling at least a portion of a system with a network failure, the method comprising:
- receiving word of a network failure;
- receiving election as leader of a partition;
- determining subsystems completely in the partition;
- starting control processes for equipment in the subsystems completely in partition;
- and
- starting sensor processes for equipment in the subsystems completely in partition.
A device for controlling at least a portion of a system with a network failure, comprising:
- a memory storing a digital twin representing a physical space;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive word of a network failure;
- receive election as leader of a partition;
- determine subsystems completely in the partition;
- start control processes for equipment in the subsystems completely in partition;
- and
- start sensor processes for equipment in the subsystems completely in partition.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for execution by a processor for capturing digital twin information performed by a processor, the non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising:
- instructions for receiving word of a network failure;
- instructions for receive election as leader of a partition;
- instructions for determining subsystems completely in the partition;
- instructions for starting control processes for equipment in the subsystems completely in partition;
- and
- instructions for starting sensor processes for equipment in the subsystems completely in partition.
