Building management system with automatic remote server query for hands free commissioning and configuration

A method for commissioning a plurality of slave devices in a building management system, the method comprising:

• connecting to a remote server, the remote server comprising a slave device configuration database;
• receiving, at a master controller, slave device configuration information stored in the slave device configuration database, the slave device configuration information comprising at least one of cooling tower configuration parameters, chilled water pump configuration parameters, condenser water pump configuration parameters, air handling unit configuration parameters, rooftop air handling unit configuration parameters, variable air volume unit configuration parameters, chiller device configuration parameters, a rated device capacity, a rated device power, and a rated device speed;
• and
• controlling, by the master controller, the plurality of slave devices using the slave device configuration information.

A building management system comprising:

• a plurality of slave devices;
• a remote server comprising a slave device configuration database;
• and
• a master controller configured to:
• receive slave device configuration information stored in the slave device configuration database;
• determine whether slave device configuration information has been received for each of the plurality of slave devices;
• transmit a completion message to a commissioning agent;
• and
• control the plurality of slave devices using the slave device configuration information.
