A portable handheld device pairs with a first building control device, to form a first wireless connection. The portable handheld device receives information about a second building control device via the first wireless connection, at least some of the information is received by the first building control device from the second building control device over a building control network before the first building control device provides at least some of the received information to the portable handheld device via the first wireless connection. The portable handheld device sends one or more messages to the first building control device via the first wireless connection, wherein the one or more messages cause the first building control device to communicate with the second building control device via the building control network to initiate a commissioning and/or maintenance process of the second building control device.

Seamless wireless connection during commissioning of networked building controllers

A method of commissioning a plurality of controllers includes identifying a plurality of controllers that are operably coupled to a network in a building management system. Each of the plurality of controllers are configured to control one or more of a plurality of building management system components within a building management system. A first controller is selected as a source controller. Two or more of the remaining controllers are selected as target controllers. A synch operation is initiated that synchs the control logic of the source controller with each of the two or more target controllers over the network, resulting in each of the two or more target controllers having the control logic of the source controller. The source controller and the two or more target controllers are subsequently used to control one or more respective building management system components of the building management system.

Methods of synchronizing controllers in a building management system

A controller that is configured to control operation of a building component may be programmed using a programming tool to build a controller logic that utilizes sub-structures organized within a hierarchal tree, which may then be downloaded to the controller. The controller is operated via the controller logic such that the controller controls operation of the building component. The programming tool may subsequently be used to update one or more of the sub-structures. The one or more updated sub-structures may be downloaded to the controller while not downloading one or more of the sub-structures that were not updated. The method includes continuing to control operation of the building component using the controller logic that now includes the one or more updated sub-structures.
