Abstract
Tools and techniques are described to create a controller wiring board. A user, using a user interface associated with a controller, can determine which devices will be attached to a controller. The features of the devices may be already known by the controller. The controller can change wiring terminal types depending on the requirements of the devices wired to the controllers. In some embodiments, a device is wired to a module associated with the controller. The controller can signal to the module to modify its wiring terminal to match the needs of the device to be wired to that location.
Claims20
A method of creating a wiring panel for a controller, the controller with a processor, memory, and wiring terminals, the method comprising:
- presenting, on a display associated with the controller, a plurality of point locations representing wiring terminals;
- presenting, on the display associated with the controller, a plurality of device types representing devices able to be wired to the controller;
- each device type having a protocol and a device point type;
- and
- in response to a user's selection of a device type and a point location, modifying the wiring terminal represented by the point location to match the device point type.
A computer-readable storage medium configured with executable instructions to perform a method for creating a wiring panel for a controller, the method comprising:
- presenting, on a display associated with the controller, a plurality of point locations representing wiring terminals;
- presenting, on the display associated with the controller, a plurality of device types representing devices able to be wired to the controller;
- each device type having a protocol and a device point type;
- and
- in response to a user's selection of a device type and a point location, modifying the wiring terminal represented by the point location to match the device point type.
A system for controller wiring board creation, the system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a memory in operable communication with the processor;
- controller-device software residing in the memory and executable with the processor to perform a method which presents, on a display associated with the controller, a plurality of point locations representing wiring terminals;
- presents, on the display associated with the controller, a plurality of device types representing devices able to be wired to the controller;
- each device type having a protocol and a device point type;
- and
- in response to a user's selection of a device type and a point location, modifies the wiring terminal represented by the point location to match the device point type.
