Appl. No.:

11/082569

Inventors:

James Kruk - Huntley IL, US
R. Lambert - Buffalo Grove IL, US
Brian Gillespie - Byron Center MI, US
Toby Lange - Crystal Lake IL, US
Thomas Johanson - Palatine IL, US
James Pecoraro - Arlington Heights IL, US

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G05B 15/00

US Classification:

345581000, 700083000, 700182000, 716001000

Abstract:

During the dynamic generation of an auto-generated schematic, an arrangement of groupings on a page is controlled to minimize white space between on a page. The white space is compressed to minimize the number of pages for a schematic drawing having multiple pages. The compression process ensures that the coordinates generated by a compression process fall on the snap grid of an auto-generated drawing.

International Classification:

G05B 15/00

US Classification:

700275000, 700083000

Abstract:

A configuration output system for use with a building automation system is provided. The configuration output system includes a database and an output engine block. The database contains a configuration data set selected by a user. The output engine block is operable to generate a plurality of types of outputs representing the configured building automation system as a function of the configuration data set.

International Classification:

G05B 11/01

US Classification:

700275000, 700019000

Abstract:

Building automation systems are dynamically configured according to rules for identifying building automation equipment. The rules define allowable configurations for a system based first on mechanical equipment, associated control strategies, and options for end control devices. A set of selections having default conditions may be followed to create a functional system. The selections can be refined to align the system requirements with a configured system. Estimating IDs, sequence of operation, mechanical and electrical schematics, control points, and graphics that are exported to the estimating and design tools may be generated for a configured system.
