Abstract: A building energy management system for controlling one or more building control units having points is disclosed. The building energy management system may be configured to display a schematic representation of a building control unit that is bounded to points in accordance with binding information. In response to receiving a point list request, the building energy management system may extract and generate a points list in a list format that includes some or all of the points in the schematic representation of the building control unit. Generating favorite points links, filtering points and batch setting point values are also contemplated.

Abstract: A system and approach for verifying and validating a room condition and its behavior in a critical environment. The system and approach may be a room controller built on top of a Niagara™ framework or launched from a Niagara workbench, and leverages extensible of Niagara. The system and approach may be web-based and used to test and verify the room condition per preset conditions. The system may have steps or tabs. They may incorporate screens for a create/open task, select test zone, read flow, hood/booster, T-stat set-up or temperature lever set-up, visual checks, and a report. One may create a new task and edit any existing task on the controller. One may move from task to task in either direction or go directly to the report of a completed task.

Abstract: Methods and systems for remote configuration of a building control system into a BMS based system are disclosed herein. One remote management device allowing a remote user to connect a new or legacy system to a BMS network includes a processor and memory, the memory having executable instructions that execute to receive identification information that allow a user on a user device to access a remote management application, send instructions to the gateway device to initiate a discovery protocol at the gateway device to identify any network devices connected to the gateway device, receive data related to each identified network device from the gateway device and create a device profile for each identified network device, initiate a discovery of origination points protocol to discover all origination points for data that are relevant to a particular device of the identified network devices, and update the device profile for that particular device.

Abstract: An approach for control of users relative to access to controllers of a site in a hierarchy of controllers and building equipment. When a user of a customer has established a read write connection to a site controller, the customer does not necessarily want any subsequent user to establish a read write connection to the site controller or another controller within the same site and also make changes, for example, to settings of building equipment. Thus, a subsequent user may be allowed a read only connection and just be able to view building equipment information. When the first user has disconnected either intentionally or by inactivity, the site controller may be cleared allowing a subsequent user to obtain a read write connection. If the first user is inactive but fails to disconnect from the controller, an auto log-off provision may disconnect the user after a specified period of inactivity.

Abstract: An intuitive dashboard framework for creating, managing and publishing a collection of visualization gadgets for critical environments. It may further reveal intelligent gadgets to visualize critical environmental data in wet chemistry laboratories, and a healthcare and life science environment that are easy to configure, customize and deploy for a web dashboard presentation.

Abstract: An approach for managing much information of many of controllers at multiple locations. A configuration map regarded as a dataset may be used for identifying and retrieving a group of data being sought in the form of instances of the dataset. The instances may be stored. A report may be used to select certain instances of the data according to a format of the report. The report may be manually or automatically provided. A profile may be developed to obtain instances of a dataset that match the profile and show instances that do not necessarily match the profile. The instances that do not match the profile may be reset to settings of the profile or be noted as approved exceptions and should not be reset.

Abstract: For a quick connect, a user may receive a list of available groups, select a particular group, and provide site number and controller number for a station/platform to be identified and connected. For a quick disconnect, user may have a list of all active stations/platforms from which to select for disconnect, including an option to disconnect all stations/platforms at once. A style configurator user interface may be invoked, which can populate a window with colors selected for menu bar, tool bar, and like components. A menu option may be provided in the tool bar where user can change the baseline from an old station configuration to a new station configuration. Thus, when user creates a new site controller, the configuration file may reflect control strategies and configuration updates added before as the new baseline.

Abstract: An approach for site controller discovery, import and integration. A customer may purchase site controllers to be put at its remote location, sometimes prior to having network connectivity to the remote location. Eventually, the customer may want to integrate the remote site controller with a supervisor at its home facility. The approach may provide site controller discovery, import and integration including automation of integration of the deployed site controller configuration and enterprise hierarchy to the home facility supervisor with minimal user intervention. During importing and integration into the customer's supervisor, enterprise model data may be retrieved and added to the existing multi-site hierarchal structure with the supervisor. The import operation may automatically perform a configuration backup to complete the integration process. The configuration in the deployed site controller or controllers may be considered a master configuration.
