  • Patent number: 10612807
    Abstract: An equipment management system including a controller and a server. The controller communicatively couples to one or more remote systems. At least one of the remote systems includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a refrigeration system, or a building automation system. The controller receives telemetry data associated with the operation of the one or more remote systems and with individual components of the one or more remote systems. The controller communicates at least a portion of the received telemetry data to the server. The server determines one or more operational commands for the one or more remote systems. The one or more operational commands are determined based on the telemetry data communicated from the controller to the server. The server communicates the one or more operational commands to the controller. The controller communicates the one or more operational commands to the one or more remote systems.

  • Patent number: 10612806
    Abstract: A controller configured to communicatively couple to at least two sets of equipment. At least one set of equipment includes heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, refrigeration equipment, or building automation equipment. For each set of equipment, the controller determines an operation schedule for the respective set of equipment. The controller also communicates the operation schedule to the respective set of equipment, for each set of equipment. The controller may receive a request to perform mass scheduling. The request indicates which sets of equipment and which settings of the operation schedule are to be configured using the mass scheduling. The controller may also communicate the same values for the settings that the request indicates to configure using the mass scheduling to each set of equipment that the request indicates to configure using the mass scheduling.

  • Patent number: 10422545
    Abstract: A system includes one or more systems, a controller and a server. The one or more systems including one or more heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, refrigeration systems, or building automation systems. The controller is communicatively coupled to the one or more systems. The server is communicatively coupled to the controller. The controller receives telemetry data associated with the operation of the one or more systems. The received telemetry data includes data associated with individual components of the one or more systems. The controller also determines a subset of the telemetry data that has changed by comparing the received telemetry data to previous telemetry data. The controller also communicates to the server only the subset of the telemetry data that has changed.
