AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies, when configuring equipment in buildings, often result in complex floor plans that make it difficult to effectively manage the dependencies between equipment, leading to complex and inefficient configuration and commissioning processes.

Method used

An ontology-based approach is adopted, which uses an ontology database and building information model to determine the relationships and links between devices, and uses a configuration controller and digital bus to transmit configuration data, simplifying the connection process between devices.

Benefits of technology

By combining ontology databases and building information models, the equipment configuration and commissioning process is simplified, the connection efficiency and reliability between devices are improved, and the configuration complexity is reduced.

Abstract

Configuration of a building. A method of configuring a site, the site comprising a plurality of devices (11-23), the plurality of devices (11-23) comprising a plurality of site controllers and a plurality of sensors and a plurality of appliances, the method comprising the steps of: selecting a first device (11-23) from among the plurality of appliances and / or from among the plurality of sensors; generating first descriptor data for the first device (11-23); selecting a second device (11-23) from among the plurality of appliances and / or from among the plurality of sensors; generating second descriptor data for the second device (11-23); loading data indicative of an ontology database (9), the ontology database comprising a set of rules; generating relationship data by applying one or more rules to the first and second descriptor data; selecting a third device (11-23) from among the controllers.
