Tools, systems and methods for configuring a building management system

A building management system, the system comprising:

• a field controller device;
• one or more field devices, the one or more field devices in communication with the field controller device;
• a configuration device in communication with the field controller device, and comprising:
• a processing circuit, comprising a plurality of tools, the tools configured to allow a user, via a user interface, to configure one or more BMS devices on a BMS network, the plurality of tools comprising an air balancing tool and a device checkout tool;
• and
• a user device, the user device in communication with the configuration device;
• wherein the device checkout tool is configured to allow the user to;
• select one or more field devices and view one or more parameters associated with the selected field devices using the user device;
• select one or more tests to execute on the selected field devices, wherein the tests are configured to send a command to the field controller device to modify the one or more parameters of the selected field devices via the BMS network, wherein modifying the one or more parameters comprises adjusting an operation performed by the selected BMS devices, the adjusted operation producing an output;
• and
• monitor, via the second network, the output of the selected field devices to determine the results of the tests,
• wherein the air balancing tool is configured to allow the user to balance an airflow associated with one or more BMS devices on the BMS network using the user device.

A building management system (BMS) interface device for providing communications between a user device and one or more BMS devices on a BMS network, the device comprising:

• a user device communication circuit configured to provide communication between the BMS interface device and one or more user devices;
• a BMS network communication circuit configured to provide communication between the BMS interface device and the BMS network;
• and
• a processing circuit, comprising a device checkout tool and an air balancing tool;
• wherein the device checkout tool is configured to;
• allow a user to select one or more BMS devices on the BMS network and to view data points associated with the selected devices;
• allow the user to select one or more tests to execute on the selected BMS devices, wherein the tests are configured to send a command to the BMS network communication circuit to modify the data points of the selected BMS devices via the BMS network, wherein the modified data points adjust an operation performed by the selected field devices, the adjusted operation producing an output;
• and
• monitor, via the second network, an output of the selected BMS devices to determine the results of the tests,
• wherein the air balancing tool is configured to balance an airflow associated with one or more BMS devices on the BMS network, the air balancing tool further configured to automatically calibrate one or more BMS devices on the BMS network by generating a gain value of the devices based on at least a measured minimum air flow, a maximum air flow, and a differential pressure.
