Abstract
A HVAC system includes building equipment operable to affect a physical state of a space in the building and a controller coupled to the building equipment. The controller is configured to accept a plurality of binary inputs indicating one or more conditions of the space, provide, to the building equipment, a plurality of outputs configured to control the operation of the building equipment, configure a first binary input of a plurality of binary inputs as an interrupt, the interrupt configured to receive an interrupt signal, determine, based on the interrupt signal, a state of the interrupt, and deactivate the plurality of outputs so that no control signals are sent to the building equipment so long as the controller determines the interrupt is in an activated state.
