Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely diagnosing sensor environments are provided. In one embodiment, a remote diagnostic system comprises a backend cloud server configured to analyze at least one set of sensor data received from at least one remote system. The backend cloud server may be configured to receive the at least one set of sensor data via a cellular network. In another embodiment, a command module of a remote diagnostic system comprises at least one sensor port. Each sensor port is configured for electrical connection with a sensor chip that measures a parameter or condition and may be configured to receive sensor data obtained by the respective sensor chip. The command module also includes a cellular communication device configured to transmit the sensor data via a cellular network to a backend cloud server for diagnosing characteristics of the sensor data.

Abstract: An icemaker control circuit may include an icemaker module and a DC motor. The icemaker module may include a control board that receives an AC power signal directly from an AC source that is external to the icemaker control circuit. The module may also include self-contained electronics and controls that allows icemaker operation without a need to interface to any signals other than AC power signal. The DC motor is provided for moving an output drive and is controlled by a DC output of the control circuit of the icemaker module in response to applying the AC signal to the icemaker module.
