Abstract
The invention relates to a networked control system including comprising a resource limited device (102) and an assigned proxy device (104). The resource limited device (102) comprises a device logic (122) for providing a change notification message to the assigned proxy device (104) on a change of a device state of the resource limited device, wherein each device state of the resource limited device (102) is defined by a corresponding state variable and wherein the change notification message comprises a state variable corresponding to an actual device state of there source limited device (102). The assigned proxy device (104) comprises means (142) for receiving a change notification message from an assigned resource limited device (102), wherein the change notification message comprises a state variable which defines an actual device state of the resource limited device and means (144) for distributing a state variable change notification, comprising the state variable which defines the actual device state of the resource limited device, within the networked control system according to requirements of a control application (162) of the networked control system.
