SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVISIONING EQUIPMENT

摘要

Systems and methods for provisioning building equipment are provided. A disclosed provisioning system includes a main control unit having a processing circuit, a memory device, and a data communications interface. The provisioning system further includes an auxiliary control unit and a portable data storage device. The portable data storage device is physically separate from the main control unit and has an update file stored therein. The update file includes a plurality of partitions, each partition including provisioning data and metadata. The main control unit identifies a first partition of the update file containing first provisioning data for the main control unit and a second partition of the update file containing second provisioning data for the auxiliary control unit. The processing circuit is configured to extract the provisioning data from the identified partitions and to apply the extracted provisioning data to the main control unit and the auxiliary control unit.

1. A system for updating building equipment, the system comprising:
a main control unit including a processing circuit, a memory device, and a data communications interface; an auxiliary control unit connected with the main control unit via a communications network; and a portable data storage device physically separate from the main control unit and having an update file stored therein, wherein the update file includes a plurality of partitions, each partition containing provisioning data for a programmable component of the main control unit or the auxiliary control unit and associated metadata; wherein the processing circuit comprises a provisioning manager configured to identify a first partition of the update file containing first provisioning data targeted for the main control unit using first metadata associated with the first partition and to identify a second partition of the update file containing second provisioning data targeted for the auxiliary control unit using second metadata associated with the second partition; wherein the processing circuit is configured to extract the provisioning data from the identified partitions and to apply or update the extracted provisioning data to the auxiliary control unit via the communications network and to the memory device of the main control unit.
