  • Patent number: 11461605
    Abstract: There is described a building automation system comprising a communication component, a processor, and an output component. The communication component scans the building automation system to discover devices, and the processor generates a visual code for a particular field device. The visual code identifies a uniform resource locator directed to a virtual node hosting environment of the building automation system associated with the field device. The output component produces the visual code at a physical material for exhibition in proximity to the field device. Thereafter, the hosting environment receives a status request, associated with the uniform resource locator, for the field device from a mobile device. The hosting environment generates point information associated with the field device based on information collected from the field device in response to receiving the status request. The communication component sends the point information to the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20200233405
    Abstract: A building automation system and method for simulating system operation conditions associated with a building automation system are provided. A virtual node is created in a virtual node hosting environment to communicate with a data consumer. A building simulation system is configured in the virtual node based on a configuration file associated with the virtual node. The configuration file includes device properties of a field device simulated by the building simulation system. The configuration file also references a data file that includes time intervals and simulated system operation conditions of points associated with field device. Simulated operation data of the points are generated from the building simulation system based on the data file. The building simulation system includes point simulator servers in which each point simulator server corresponds to a system operation condition identified by the data file. The simulated operation data are provided to the data consumer.

  • Patent number: 10505751
    Abstract: An interface system for a building includes at least one mobile computing device configured to read building information indicia positioned within the building, with the building information indicia defining indicia data. The at least one mobile computing device is in wireless communication with a building control system within the building. The building control system is configured to send control signals to a plurality of field devices within the building. The at least one mobile computing devices is configured to transmit indicia data defined by the building information indicia to the building control system. The building control system is configured to control the field devices based at least in part on the indicia data received from the mobile computing devices.
