Method and apparatus for programming and controlling an environment management system

摘要

An access terminal is provided for creating and modifying parameter values controlling an environment management system. The access terminal is in communication with a server for gathering and storing programming data according to the input parameter values and for associating stored programming data with an identification code. A receiver module connects to the server and requests download of the stored programming data when it receives a download request from an environment management system controller. A triggering means in communication with a system controller is provided for authenticating a user and triggering programming data download. A method of bi-directional communication between the environment management system controller and the receiver module is provided. Receiver module is able to relay environment alarm status information contained in the message to an alarm management module and is able to retrieve from a server the updated control parameters for programming and controlling the environment management system.
