  • Patent number: 11953884
    Abstract: A first building equipment to be controlled by a building controller is selected via a user interface from a plurality of predefined building equipment options and a first control loop for controlling the first building equipment is defined via the user interface by selecting from a plurality of predefined first control loop parameter options and one or more terminals of the building controller are assigned to the first control loop. A second building equipment to be controlled by the building controller is selected via the user interface from the plurality of predefined building equipment options and a second control loop for controlling the second building equipment is defined via the user interface by selecting from a plurality of predefined second control loop parameter options. One or more terminals of the building controller are assigned to the second control loop.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11625018
    Abstract: A distributed building management system includes a virtual controller and an edge controller for controlling a building control device using a distributed control logic that is distributed between the virtual controller and the edge controller. A programming tool displays a graphical representation of the distributed control logic and identifies which portions of the distributed control logic are considered critical and which portions of the distributed control logic are considered not critical to a fail-safe operation of the building control device should the edge controller stop receiving control commands from the virtual controller. The portions of the distributed control logic that are identified as being critical are assigned to the edge controller for execution and the portions of the distributed control logic that are not identified as being critical are assigned to the virtual controller for execution.
