ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for allocating assets to a plurality of devices are presented. In one embodiment, devices may be communicatively connected to one another through a device loop. Each device may be configured for determining a portion of an asset that it will use. A controller may also be communicatively connected to the communication medium and configured for determining a capacity of the asset. The controller may transfer control information to the devices so as to allocate the asset to the devices based on the capacity of that asset. In another embodiment, each of the devices may be communicatively connected directly to the controller rather than to one another.
