Abstract
Tools and techniques are described to automate creation of point mapping diagrams between controllers and controlled resources. After receiving a defined space diagram (which may be input using a graphical interface of the controller, or by other means), resource locations and resource wiring requirements (which may be done automatically), a wiring diagram including point mapping between the resources and any necessary controllers is generated. If resources need to be moved, a new wiring diagram and/or point mapping can be regenerated.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- accepting a defined space representation into a controller, the controller comprising a processor, memory, and a user interface;
- accepting a unit model from a list of predefined models displayed on the user interface, the unit model having wiring requirements and location within the defined space representation;
- accepting a constraint;
- calculating placement of the controller within the defined space representation based at least partially on the constraint;
- determining a wiring route between the controller and the unit model based at least in part on the defined space representation;
- and
- determining point mapping between the controller and the unit model based in part on the wiring requirements.
A system which generates point mapping, the system comprising:
- a controller with a processor;
- a memory in operable communication with the processor;
- a user interface associated with the controller, a program residing in memory, the program allowing input of controller information and modification of controller terminals, including instructions residing in the memory, which are executable by the processor to perform a method which includes:
- accepting a defined space representation into the controller;
- accepting a unit model from a list of predefined models displayed on the user interface, the unit model having wiring requirements and location within the defined space representation;
- accepting a constraint;
- calculating placement of the controller within the defined space representation based at least partially on the constraint;
- determining a wiring route between the controller and the unit model based at least in part on the defined space representation;
- and
- determining point mapping between the controller and the unit model based in part on the wiring requirements.
A non-transient storage medium configured with code which upon execution by a controller having one or more processors coupled with memory-stored instructions performs a point mapping generation method, the method comprising:
- accepting a defined space representation into a controller, the controller comprising a processor, memory, and a user interface;
- accepting a unit model from a list of predefined models displayed on the user interface, the unit model having wiring requirements and location within the defined space representation;
- accepting a constraint;
- calculating placement of the controller within the defined space representation based at least partially on the constraint;
- determining a wiring route between the controller and the unit model based at least in part on the defined space representation;
- and
- generating point mapping between the controller and the unit model based in part on the wiring requirements.
