  • Publication number: 20230308417
    Abstract: A building management system network includes a Master-Slave/Token Passing (MS/TP) communication bus. The network further includes a number of Building Automation Control network (BACnet) devices, including a first BACnet device and a second BACnet device, coupled to the MS/TP communication bus. The network further includes a number of bridge devices, including a first bridge device, connected to the MS/TP communication bus. The first bridge device is located on the MS/TP communication bus between the first BACnet device and the second BACnet device. The first bridge device includes a processing circuit and a memory. The processing circuit is configured to receive a first MS/TP packet from the first BACnet device and selectively forward the first MS/TP packet to the second BACnet device based on a first security configuration. The first security configuration is stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 10686622
    Abstract: A building management system for sharing data includes a plurality of data sources configured to expose a plurality of data points. Each data source is associated with a use identifier characterizing one or more of the data points exposed by the data source. The system further includes one or more data recipients configured to access the data points. The data recipients include building management devices and/or building management applications. The system further includes a data share manager configured to receive a selected data source from the plurality of data sources, identify the use identifier associated with the selected data source, generate and present a list of the data recipients that have the use identifier associated with the selected data source as an attribute, receive a selected data recipient from the list of data recipients, and create a data share relationship linking the selected data source with the selected data recipient.
