Abstract
Techniques for group control using service data objects (SDO) are disclosed. A device controller is configured to perform operations including: receiving, from device controllers that are configured to control devices so that the devices operate based on a shared set point, SDO messages using an SDO protocol; determining that the device controller is a master device controller for the device controllers, based at least on the SDO messages; and sending a setpoint update message including a modified value of the shared set point, using the SDO protocol, to slave device controllers in the device controllers, wherein a slave device controller in the slave device controllers is configured to adjust operation of at least one slave device in the devices, based at least on the setpoint update message.
