System and method for synchronizing configurations in a controller network
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing configuration data, comprising:
- providing a controller network that includes a plurality of control modules, wherein each control module has registration information stored thereon;
detecting a registration information change associated with a control module;
receiving current configuration data from the control module, if the registration information change is detected;
creating new configuration data for each control module in the controller network based on the received current configuration data; and
synchronizing the configuration of each control module with the created new configuration data.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for synchronizing configuration data. The method may include providing a controller network that includes a plurality of control modules and each control module may have registration information stored thereon. The method may include detecting a registration information change associated with a control module and receiving current configuration data from the control module, if the registration information change is detected. The method may also include creating new configuration data for each control module in the controller network based on the received current configuration data, and synchronizing the configuration of each control module with the created new configuration data.

10. A configuration synchronization system for synchronizing configuration data in a controller network, wherein the controller network includes a plurality of control modules with registration information stored thereon, comprising:
-
a processor configured to; detect a registration information change associated with at least one control module; receive current configuration data from the at least one control module, if the registration information change is detected; create new configuration data for each control module in the controller network based on the received current configuration data; and synchronize the configuration of each control module with the created new configuration data; and a memory unit configured to store the current configuration data and the new configuration data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
