  • Publication number: 20200363855
    Abstract: Architectures or techniques are presented that can facilitate automatic recovery from a component failure exhibited by a building automation system (BAS) control device and/or a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control device. A failure or fault condition with a software or firmware component can be automatically repaired. A failure or fault condition with a hardware component can be identified, potentially more quickly, and hardware component replacement can be streamlined or simplified.

  • Patent number: 10269235
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for operating a Building Automation System (BAS) that communicates with end devices via a master-slave token passing network (MSTP), e.g., BACNet, a local operating network (LON), or any other suitable communications protocol to receive alarm messages. The BAC enables a user to rapidly and effectively respond to an alarm by providing an alarm assistance message that provides the user with detailed remediation procedures concerning the current alarm. The nature and content of the alarm assistance message and/or the attachments is determined based upon on a combination of alarm and system parameters, and may be tailored by an administrator to meet local requirements. The alarm assistance message may include one or more remedial or diagnostic attachments, such as a troubleshooting guide, user manual, a video, graphics, or a firmware update, and may include links to external media or cloud-hosted documents.

  • Patent number: 10216869
    Abstract: A method for configuring a semi-empirical or an empirical computer simulation model of a building automation and control (BAC) system. The method can include a computer processor reading from a non-transitory computer-readable memory a configuration data of a building automation and control network (BACnet) device, wherein the configuration data includes a property value of the BACnet device. The method includes communicating with a real BACnet device of a real existing BAC system, retrieving real data of the real BACnet device, and storing the real data onto the non-transitory computer-readable memory. The property value of the BACnet device stored on the non-transitory computer-readable memory can be changed to another value that is based on the real data, or the property value of the BACnet device can be added to the configuration data.

  • Publication number: 20180196402
    Abstract: Systems and methods of improving building automation system (BAS) performance includes collecting performance parameters associated with building automation devices, comparing the parameters to a benchmark, and adjusting the performance benchmark to match the corresponding performance parameter if the corresponding performance parameter exceeds the performance benchmark, or utilizing the performance parameter and the identity of the building automation device associated therewith to remediate the performance defect. The collected performance parameters may be used to prioritize system tasks based on current system performance. A performance monitoring agent included in a building automation system controller or a device controller determines a performance parameter thereof to assess and benchmark BAS performance.
