Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for remotely updating configuration logic on Internet of Things (IoT) devices located physically proximate to industrial systems equipment. The IoT devices are configured to monitor and detect outputs, such as sensor data, corresponding to the industrial systems equipment, and the IoT devices are further configured to operate as gateway devices through which communications are routed between a remote computing system and the industrial systems equipment. The IoT devices operate according to configuration files generated at the remote computing system and transmitted to the IoT devices. The IoT devices are notified by the remote computing system of subsequent updates to their respective configuration files. Responsive to receiving a configuration file update notice, an IoT device may establish a back-channel communication link to the remote computing system across which the updated configuration file is identified and retrieved based at least on an updated timestamp.
