Patent number: 6115713Abstract: A networked system having a wide variety of applications and particularly applicable to facilities management systems has multiple levels of software in processing nodes. The levels include a "features" processing level which communicates requests for data to a software object level containing databases of processes and attributes and database managers. The database managers in the software object level operate to provide data to the high level features in the same format. The software object level communicates with a hardware object level which also contains databases and database managers to mask differences between operational hardware units. By categorizing operational units by type, additional units of a known type can be added with only low level hardware object database changes. Adding units of a new type is facilitated by software changes confined to the lower level hardware and software objects, avoiding software changes at high level features.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1996Date of Patent: September 5, 2000Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Gregory A. Pascucci, David E. Rasmussen, Gaylon M. Decious, James R. Garbe, Susan M. Hyzer, Karen L. Woest, Vairavan Vairavan, David L. Koch, Donald A. Gottschalk, Jr., Dennis E. Burkhardt, Darrell E.

Patent number: 5463735Abstract: A network system having a wide variety of applications and particularly applicable to facilities management systems includes network controllers which continuously process data related to building and industrial, environmental, security and other automated system controls. Each network controller has a network address indicative of a communication link to which the network controller is connected, a local address and a node drop ID to determine whether the network controller is a configured or non-configured device. Data stored in an archive device is downloaded to a destination network controller in the absence of a routing table in the destination network controller by transmitting a download request message from the archive device to an intermediate network controller with a routing table. The intermediate network controller assumes control of the download request by transmitting the message to the destination controller.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1994Date of Patent: October 31, 1995Assignee: Johnson Service CompanyInventors: Gregory A.

Patent number: H2176Abstract: Occupants of a building are able to submit complaints regarding operating conditions, such as temperature, humidity and air quality, via a web site on an Intranet or Internet. The server for the web site logs the complaints and current environmental conditions in a storage device. The server also applies a filter criterion to each complaint and when the complaints satisfy the filter criterion a warning is sent to building management personnel. This filtering process enables the building management personnel to be alerted when the number of complaints exceeds a given number or when specific classes of occupants submit a complaint.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2000Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Sheri L Meyer, Darrell E Standish
