Abstract
A controller of a building automation system comprising a communication component and a processor, and a method thereof. The communication component communicates with one or more other controllers of multiple automation level devices. The automation level devices are associated with an automation level network of the building automation system. The automation level devices include the controller and the other controller(s). The processor performs name resolution in which names of objects for devices associated with a building automation system are synchronized by device object references.
Claims10
A controller of a building automation system comprising:
- a communication component configured to communicate with at least one other controller of a plurality of automation level devices, the plurality of automation level devices being associated with an automation level network of the building automation system, the plurality of automation level devices including the controller and the at least one other controller;
- and
- a processor configured to perform name resolution in which names of objects for devices associated with a building automation system are synchronized by device object references.
A method of a controller of a building automation system comprising:
- communicating, by a communication component of the controller, with at least one other controller of a plurality of automation level devices;
- associating the plurality of automation level devices with an automation level network of the building automation system, the plurality of automation level devices including the controller and the at least one other controller;
- and
- performing, by a processor of the controller, name resolution, wherein performing the name resolution includes synchronizing names of objects for devices associated with a building automation system by device object references.
