The first device is configured to determine a value of an internal parameter based on the feature manifest.
Claims20
An HVAC system, comprising:
- first and second devices coupled via a subnet of said HVAC system;
- a feature manifest stored by said second device and readable by said first device after said first device enters a commissioning process;
- and an internal parameter of said first device that is determined by said first device based on said feature manifest.
A method of commissioning devices in an HVAC network, comprising:
- a first device of a subnet reading a feature manifest of a second device of said subnet;
- and said first device determining validity of a parameter of said first device based on said feature manifest.
A communicating device of an HVAC system, configured to:
- read a feature manifest stored by a second device after said communicating device enters a commissioning process;
- and determine a value of an internal parameter based on said feature manifest.
