Filed:

May 28, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/423691

Inventors:

- Davidson NC, US
Thomas Christopher Basterash - East Bethel MN, US
Mark Martin - Chisago City MN, US

Assignee:

Trane International Inc. - Davidson NC

International Classification:

G06F 11/34
G06F 9/451
H04L 12/28

Abstract:

Architectures or techniques are presented that can learn relationships between graphical elements presented by a user interface and physical conditions that exist in an environment. Furthermore, the architectures or techniques can, potentially based on the learned information, present the graphical elements to the user interface in a manner that is determined to be more efficient. For example, graphical elements that were historically accessed when a particular physical condition is true can be identified. These identified graphical elements can then be presented in a location of the user interface that is determined to be favorable to rapid or efficient selection at times with the particular physical condition is determined to be satisfied.

Assignee:

Trane International Inc. - Davidson NC

International Classification:

G06F 1/32
H02J 7/00

Abstract:

A building automation system (BAS) controller includes a power supply, a primary controller, and plurality of USB ports for connection to a set of supported peripherals. The primary controller identifies the inserted USB device type and, based on device type, estimates a current draw of the USB device. The total estimated current draw of all inserted USB devices is added to the current draw of the primary controller and compared to the available capacity of the power supply. If the combined current draw is above a threshold, any remaining USB ports in which no USB devices are inserted are deactivated, thereby preventing the use of further USB devices. In embodiments, the BAS controller includes an auxiliary peripheral device power interface, and the total current of connected auxiliary peripheral devices is included in the combined current determination. A user interface coupled to the BAS controller displays power allocation status.

International Classification:

G05B 15/02

US Classification:

700275

Abstract:

In at least one illustrative embodiment, a building automation system may comprise a communication network compatible with at least one building automation system communication protocol, a control system coupled to the communication network, and a building automation server coupled to the communication network. The building automation server may be configured to receive at least one event message over the communication network from the control system in response to a corresponding condition occurring on the control system, access past event messages generated by the control system in response to past occurrences of the corresponding condition, and generate event alert data as a function of the received at least one event message and the retrieved past event messages, the event alert data identifying (i) a name of the corresponding condition, (ii) a real-time status of the control system, and (iii) a quantitative summary of the past occurrences of the corresponding condition.
