  • Patent number: 7953419
    Abstract: In a data communications network building automation system, integration of wirelessly communicating network nodes is visualized in a process environment on an output unit of a commissioning device. The current spatial position of the commissioning device is detected and represented in the visualized process environment by detecting an identification signal of the network nodes and determining a relative spatial position of the network nodes for which the identification signal was detected. A proposal for the assignment of the detected identification signal to a node model is stored in a database based on the relative spatial position, in relation to the spatial position of the commissioning device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5128855
    Abstract: An arrangement for the control of an operating installation of a building automation system is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a control module serving as a master transmitter-receiver and at least one function module serving as a slave transmitter receiver. A bus connection including a bus rail connects the control module and the at least one function module for the transmission of addresses and data and for the transmission of operating voltages. The bus rail is installed electrically at the periphery of the installation so that the at least one function module is connected to a plurality of conductors forming the bus rail and directly to the installation so that the function module serves as an input/output terminal of said installation for the transmission of process parameters.
