Operation scheduler for a building automation system

摘要

A computer-implemented method for managing and controlling multiple automation components coupled via a building automation network. The computer implemented method includes receiving, via the building automation network, a first operational schedule from a first automation device where the first operational schedule is formatted according to a first protocol, receiving, via the building automation network, a second operational schedule from a second automation device where the second operational schedule is formatted according to a second protocol, converting the received second operational schedule from the second protocol to the first protocol, generating a unified schedule that includes the first operational schedule and the converted second operational schedule, and displaying the unified schedule in a user accessible manner.

1. A building automation control system configured to manage and control multiple automation components coupled via a building automation network, the building automation control system comprising:
a processor; a memory in communication with the processor, the memory configured to store a building automation control tool as one or more processor implementable instructions and wherein the processor implementable instructions are configured to:
receive a first operational schedule related to operation of a first automation device, the first operational schedule comprising a first start time and a first stop time for the first automation device, and a report or collection routine start time;receive a second operational schedule comprising a second start time and a second stop time related to the operation of a second automation device;recognize the first and second start and stop times associated with the first and second operational schedules, respectively; andgenerate a unified schedule that:
displays the first operational schedule as a first time period that extends between the first start time and the first stop time, and a point when the report or collection routine starts; anddisplays the second operational schedule as a second time period that extends between the second start time and the second stop time, wherein the second time period is aligned relative to the first time period.
