Problems solved by technology

Fieldbus technology features such as LonMark bonding or KNX bonding (S-mode, LTE-mode) can be used to combine room masters and slaves and rearrange room slaves over time, but manual handling is still required
Dedicated manipulation tools provide offline binding and loading of bound tables, which saves some time but still requires design work to account for changes

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Building automation control and design programming allow for flexibility in room layout. Room and room-section functions are grouped for control of functional splitting but for flexibility in room arrangement.

[0020] There is an increasing demand for flexible subdivision of floors and zones of buildings to arrange spaces for changing needs over the life cycle of a building. To ensure maximum flexibility, floors are divided into room segments (eg grids) that can be combined to form rooms and rearranged over time by simply adding and removing walls. In an example use case, a new floor plan is created for a tenant expansion. Room layouts are initially set up for tenants and rarely change over time. Building automation engineers use offline manipulation tools to set up room configurations for building automation. In another example use case, a floor plan is reconstructed. Room arrangements may occasionally (eg, every 1-2 years) change. A technician, facility manager ...

Abstract

Flexible control is provided in building automation. By dividing a floor space into segments (20), different segments (20) may be assigned to rooms (22). The operation of the building automation likewise includes room level and segment level control functions and corresponding objects. To assign or reassign a given segment (20) to a room (22), the segment (20) is linked to the room (22) using an identifier of the corresponding room control function. The building automation equipment (24) and corresponding control for the segment (20) is linked to the room operation. The separation of the room and segment functions may avoid any or extensive manual engineering other than re-assignment. The assignment or reassignment of segments (20) to rooms (22) may be performed online (e.g., at a panel or management station), offline (e.g., at a computer or engineering station), or automatically (e.g., moveable wall system).

Description

technical field [0001] The present embodiments relate generally to building systems, and more particularly to controlling or designing building automation for changes to floor plans. Background technique [0002] Building automation systems perform monitoring, open-loop control and / or closed-loop control of process variables in technical systems in a building or on a campus. Technical systems are heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, daylighting and blackout (eg, blinds) equipment, access control systems, security systems and / or fire monitoring systems. In building automation systems, process variables such as room air conditioning variables or events are detected, evaluated, monitored, influenced and / or generated. [0003] A building automation system typically includes a program and a number of computers or processors for its operation. Provides programming to perform distributed building automation. Due to the repetitive nature of floor plans, such ...
