Abstract: A system on a chip for enabling communication between a building management system (BMS) device and a BMS network. The system on a chip includes a device interface, a network interface, and a processing circuit. The device interface is configured to connect the system on a chip to the BMS device via a serial communication link. The network interface configured to connect the system on a chip to the BMS network. The processing circuit is configured to identify and update an attribute of an equipment object associated with the BMS device that corresponds to a command received from the BMS network via the network interface and transmit a message to the BMS device via the device interface using the updated attribute of the equipment object.

Abstract: A system for predicting HVAC equipment failure includes an actuator and a controller. The actuator is coupled to the HVAC equipment and configured to drive the HVAC equipment between multiple positions. The actuator includes a processing circuit configured to collect internal actuator data characterizing an operation of the actuator and a communications circuit coupled to the processing circuit. The communications circuit is configured to transmit the internal actuator data outside the actuator. The controller is configured to provide control signals to the actuator and receive the internal actuator data from the actuator. The controller includes a failure predictor configured to use the internal actuator data to predict a time at which the HVAC equipment failure will occur.

Abstract: A communication circuit for providing communication to an actuator. The communication circuit includes a device interface and a network interface. The device interface is configured to provide a serial communication link between the communication circuit and a processing circuit of the actuator. The network interface is in electronic communication with the device interface, and configured to communicate with an external network. The device interface is configured to receive data values from the actuator via the serial communication link. The device interface is further configured to populate one or more attributes of an equipment object stored in the device interface with the received data values. The network interface is further configured to map the attributes of the equipment object with individual networking objects, and write the attributes to the mapped individual networking objects. The network interface further configured to communicate the individual networking objects to the external network.
