International Classification:

F24F 11/58
F24F 11/49
G05B 19/418

Abstract:

A building management system includes a processing circuit configured to clone the configuration of a first device to one or more devices in a network. The building management system may be configured to determine the source device and the one or more destination devices, retrieve the configuration data from the source device, determine a configuration of the second device, determine a mapping of the source device configuration to the destination device configuration, and send one or more commands to the destination devices to configure the destination devices with properties from the source device configuration. The cloning method may thus be used to clone devices remotely, where the devices can be from different vendors or be different models and located at different locations.

Assignee:

Johnson Controls Technology Company - Milwaukee WI

International Classification:

G05D 23/19
F24F 11/00
G06F 3/0481

Abstract:

A building management system includes a communications interface connected to HVAC devices, a device identifier configured to identify the HVAC devices, a fault detector configured to detect a fault condition in the identified devices, and a causal relationship template retriever configured to retrieve a fault causation template of system parameters specific to the fault condition. The building management system further includes a status requestor configured to retrieve operating data from the identified devices and a user interface generator. The user interface generator is configured to populate the system parameters of the fault causation template with the retrieved operating data and transmit a signal to display a user interface with the populated fault causation template on a display screen.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
G05B 15/02
H04L 12/28
H04L 12/64

Abstract:

A smart communications controller for building equipment includes an equipment port and a processing circuit including a plurality of autoconfiguration objects. Each of the autoconfiguration objects corresponds to a different communications protocol and is configured to perform a protocol testing process. The protocol testing process includes sending a request message to the building equipment using the corresponding communications protocol. The request message includes a request for an equipment ID. The protocol testing process includes receiving a response message from the building equipment in response to the request message and identifying the corresponding communications protocol as being used by the building equipment in response to the response message including the requested equipment ID. The processing circuit includes an equipment controller configured to use the identified communications protocol to generate protocol-specific control signals for the building equipment and operate the building equipment to affect a variable state or condition within the building.

International Classification:

H04L 12/40
G05B 19/042

Abstract:

A building management system includes a communications bus, subordinate devices connected to the communications bus, and a controller connected to the communications bus. The controller includes an active node table including a plurality of nodes, each node representing one of the subordinate devices connected to the communications bus. The controller is configured to monitor the active node table for a newly connected subordinate device, use a set of rules to determine whether the newly connected subordinate device is supported by the controller for performing an identified function in combination with the controller, and, in response to a determination that the newly connected subordinate device is supported, extend the identified function of the controller to the newly connected subordinate device. Extending the identified function includes enabling the newly connected subordinate device to perform the identified function.

International Classification:

G05B 19/042

Abstract:

An equipment controller in a building management system (BMS) includes a feature detector and a dynamic point list generator. The feature detector is configured to receive sensor input from a sensor and determine a set of features available to the equipment controller based on the sensor input. The dynamic point list generator is configured to determine unavailable features based on the set of available features and identify one or more points in a complete point list associated with the set of unavailable features. The dynamic point list generator is configured to generate a dynamic point list by removing the identified points from the complete point list and expose the dynamic point list to a BMS controller communicably connected to the equipment controller.
