A system for updating a device in a building management system (BMS). The system includes a third-party device and a device manager of a control network. The device manager updates the third-party device and includes a processing circuit that determines that the third-party device has been discovered on the control network. The processing circuit further populates a template with a set of received data from the third-party device and maps the third-party device with control network based on the populated template of received data. The processing circuit further configures the third-party device to operate in the control network, wherein configuring the third-party device comprises transforming a data exchange format of the third-party device.

Vendor agnostic shareable device integration and meta data tagging

A building management system includes building equipment operable to affect a physical state or condition of a building, a system manager, and a cloud-based data platform. The system manager is coupled to the building equipment via a system bus and configured to obtain alarm data from the building equipment and generate a timeseries sample including the alarm data. The cloud-based data platform includes a timeseries service configured to receive the timeseries sample from the system manager, extract the alarm data from the timeseries sample, and store the alarm data as a sample of an alarm timeseries.

Building management system and method with timeseries sample feedback control

A building management system includes a communications bus, and devices coupled to the communications bus. The devices are coupled to the communications bus and configured to communicate on the communications bus using a master-slave token passing protocol. A first one of the devices has an active node table stored therein. The active node table includes multiple nodes. Each node represents one of the devices participating in a token passing ring used to exchange information among the devices via the communications bus using the master-slave token passing protocol. The first device is configured to monitor the active node table for new nodes and to identify a new device communicating on the communications bus in response to a determination that the active node table includes a new node.

Building management system with automatic equipment discovery and equipment model distribution

A building management system includes a system manager and a cloud-based data platform. The system manager is configured to identify building equipment and generate a reported network tree listing the building equipment. The cloud-based data platform is configured to receive the reported network tree from the system manager, generate a list of bound properties of the building equipment based on the reported network tree, and create timeseries for the bound properties of the building equipment. The system manager is configured to detect a change of value (COV) of a bound property listed in the list of bound properties and post a sample of the bound property to the timeseries in response to detecting the COV of the bound property.

Building management system with plug and play device registration and configuration

Building management system with cloud-based timeseries service

A building management system includes building equipment operable to affect a physical state or condition of a building, a system manager coupled to equipment via a system bus, and a cloud-based data platform. The system manager is configured to obtain timeseries data from the building equipment and generate a request for a timeseries identifier based on the timeseries data. The cloud-based data platform includes a timeseries service configured to receive the request for the timeseries identifier from the system manager, create a timeseries for the building equipment, assign the timeseries identifier to the timeseries, and send the timeseries identifier to the system manager. The system manager is configured to generate a timeseries sample comprising the timeseries data and send the timeseries sample to the timeseries service along with the timeseries identifier which identifies the timeseries sample as a sample of the timeseries.

Building management system with automatic binding of equipment data

A system for monitoring and controlling a central plant includes a high level optimizer, a subplant monitor, a user interface, and a dispatch graphical user interface (GUI) generator. The central plant includes a plurality of subplants configured to serve a thermal energy load. The high level optimizer is configured to determine recommended subplant loads for each of the plurality of subplants. The subplant monitor is configured to monitor the central plant and identify actual subplant loads for each of the plurality of subplants. The user interface is configured to receive manual subplant loads specified by a user. The dispatch GUI generator is configured to generate a dispatch GUI and present the dispatch GUI via the user interface. The dispatch GUI includes the recommended subplant loads, the actual subplant loads, and the manual subplant loads.

Systems and methods for monitoring and controlling a central plant

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.

Building management system with data sharing based on use identifiers

A building management system includes building equipment operable to affect a physical state or condition of a building, a system manager, and a cloud-based data platform. The system manager is coupled to the building equipment via a system bus and includes memory storing a device identifier uniquely identifying the system manager. The cloud-based data platform is configured to generate a device shadow for the system manager prior to installation of the system manager at a building site. The device shadow includes a virtual representation of the system manager including the device identifier. The system manager is configured to establish a communications link with the cloud-based data platform upon installation of the system manager at the building site. The cloud-based data platform is configured to update the device shadow based on information received from the system manager via the communications link.

An equipment controller in a building management system (BMS) includes a feature detector and a dynamic point list generator. The feature detector is configured to receive sensor input from a sensor and determine a set of features available to the equipment controller based on the sensor input. The dynamic point list generator is configured to determine unavailable features based on the set of available features and identify one or more points in a complete point list associated with the set of unavailable features. The dynamic point list generator is configured to generate a dynamic point list by removing the identified points from the complete point list and expose the dynamic point list to a BMS controller communicably connected to the equipment controller.

Building management system with dynamic point list

A building management system including a system manager, a zone coordinator, and one or more zone controllers configured to monitor and control building zones. The system manager includes a system bus datalink having an active node table stored therein. The zone coordinator includes a second system bus datalink and a zone bus datalink. A system bus connects the first system bus datalink to the second system bus datalink. A zone bus connects the zone bus datalink to the one or more zone controllers. The active node table includes a plurality of nodes, each node representing a system bus device communicating on the system bus. The system manager is configured to monitor the active node table for new nodes and to identify a new system bus device communicating on the system bus in response to a determination that the active node table includes a new node.
