Abstract: A multisite version and upgrade management system for controllers. The system may have a supervisor and one or more site controllers managed by the supervisor. The site controllers may be subject to commissioning for another version, an upgrade of software or an upgrade of a configuration for a site controller. The commissioning and upgrades may be implemented by the supervisor for a large number of site controllers in a much shorter period of time in contrast to a previous approach implementing the same items in a one by one approach. With the present approach, a significant number of site controllers may be selected for implementation of the commissioning and upgrades according to groups and categories. The implementation for the number of site controllers may be executed as a job. Licensing needed for the implementation may be procured by the present system.

Abstract: An approach for managing much information of many of controllers at multiple locations. A configuration map regarded as a dataset may be used for identifying and retrieving a group of data being sought in the form of instances of the dataset. The instances may be stored. A report may be used to select certain instances of the data according to a format of the report. The report may be manually or automatically provided. A profile may be developed to obtain instances of a dataset that match the profile and show instances that do not necessarily match the profile. The instances that do not match the profile may be reset to settings of the profile or be noted as approved exceptions and should not be reset.

Abstract: An approach for selecting points of archived history data for viewing. The approach may relate to a user interface workflow of selecting points. Site controllers may be configured using control entity definitions, history extensions, point group naming and template features of a supervisor. The supervisor may provide for selection of groups or categories of sites and controllers within selected sites using selection boxes. This may permit a user to quickly refine site selection by, for example, filtering by group, site category, and a refined site list box. Once a site, the controllers and desired point groups and other appropriate items have been selected, the user may proceed to view historical data for the selected sites and controller points.
