Abstract
A system for multi-site batch setpoint and schedule updating. The system may provide an efficient manner to update hundreds or thousands of site controllers with control setpoints and/or schedules having a common new setting with minimal user intervention. A user may easily setup a batch job by selecting multiple deployed control entities or schedules, specifying the desired setpoint adjustment and initiating the batch job execution. The system may perform the job unassisted by connecting each of the selected site controllers selected, locating the target control entity/schedule, and applying a schedule or setpoint update. The system may record a status of each significant action taken to perform the batch job execution so that the user can review the status at a later time.
