  • Publication number: 20250211588
    Abstract: A building management system, such as a small or medium business, having one or more control devices. Assigning codes to devices, and reading and listing them may aid in configuring the devices. Templates may be used for dynamic configuration of devices and equipment. Representing terminal assignments and wiring diagrams of control devices may be intuitive in that they resemble real hardware for ease of complete installation. The present system and approach may provide an intuitive way of securely registering devices with cloud usage, for example, involving a mobile phone with no manual entry of data so that a user can complete this process with ease. An intuitive, automatic and asynchronous device configuration downloading may be seen, such as to multiple control devices in a single shot. There may be seamless configuration data synchronization, for example, in view of replacement devices, or so the latest data is readily available.

  • Patent number: 11640149
    Abstract: A method of providing a plurality of controller certificates for a plurality of controllers within a Building Management System (BMS) includes downloading project information defining the BMS and using the downloaded project information to solicit a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from each of the plurality of controllers of the BMS. The received CSRs are uploaded to a remote server so that the remote server can generate a corresponding controller certificate for each of the plurality of controllers of the BMS. The generated controller certificates are then downloaded to the corresponding one of the plurality of controllers of the BMS.

  • Patent number: 11347642
    Abstract: A tool for an approach and mechanism for calculating and configuring memory mapping of trend log objects in a system, such as an HVAC. It may incorporate determining available memory of a controller for trending a unit of equipment of a system. A calculation of available records may be made for configuring and using a trend. The calculation may be made in view of the controller memory and parameters including buffer size, log interval and retention time. A change in parameters may cause a recalculation of available records. The “available record” terms may be regarded as being in a user-understandable format. The format may be intuitive. Anomalies of trends of equipment may lead to spotting issues of the equipment.

  • Publication number: 20200073351
    Abstract: An approach and mechanism for improving reliability, performance and on time execution of critical operations of a system, such as an HVAC. A controller may have two or more processing cores. One core may be dedicated to execution of critical operations of a system. Another core may be dedicated to less- or non-critical operations of the system. For instance, if there are delays relative to the less- or non-critical operations, these delays may be ineffective relative to the processing of critical operations.
