Adaptive Industrial Ethernet

A system may include equipment divided into control groups. Each control group may be assigned a supervisor node. A server computer may communicate with the equipment in a control group via the supervisor node associated with that control group. The server computer may store a profile of the equipment. The profile may contain physical locations of the equipment, settings of the equipment, components of the control groups, and the association of supervisor nodes with the control groups. A display unit may display the profile of the plurality of the equipment as an overlay of the physical locations of the plurality of equipment on a map.
