The invention pertains to building environmental control systems and particularly to wall modules for providing input for control of the systems. More particularly, the invention pertains to configurations of the wall modules.
The invention is a system for selection, modification of, or making a configuration for a customizable wall module. There may be screen customization and/or screen segment selection in a display for the wall module. The configuration features and the corresponding display may be previewed before being downloaded to the wall module. Configurations may be saved to a library for future use. There may be a memory usage indicator associated with the system. Also, an autobind of time parameters to controller feature may be incorporated.
Wall modules may be the primary interface to the building automation system (BAS), heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system or building environment sensing and control apparatus or system for building owners and tenants. The wall module is used not only to show local temperature, humidity, and/or CO2 but also to control occupancy, fan, and setpoints (depending on the model). One aspect of the wall module display that can be configured is the screen elements (referred to herein also as screen segments) to be shown for customizing different screens (i.e., home screens, parameters, setpoints, sensors, and so forth). The present invention is an intuitive and easy approach of selecting custom screen segments which may ensure that a contractor (user) is confident that the segments selected are appropriate for the screens which the contractor is customizing.
The present invention is an approach for customizing a custom HVAC or building environment sensing and/or control wall module. The approach may include a software tool that includes a wizard. The tool may be used to customize the HVAC wall module and may have a function that allows users to select (i.e., switch on/off) the screen segments to show for different situations. To help the user make the selection effectively (and without errors), a preview of the actual screen may be shown with the available screen segments. The user may use the software tool to select the segments that the user wants to show for each situation (e.g., home screens, parameters, and so on). The selected segments may be highlighted (turned black or bolded) in the preview and this highlighting can provide feedback to the user so that the user can determine whether the appropriate segment was selected. Other ways may be used to show selection, e.g., checking boxes, doing listings, dragging and dropping, and so on. Since the user immediately knows how the display would look with the preview, the user can quickly correct any errors or undesired appearances in the customized screen before downloading the configuration to the wall module itself.
The present approach may support custom user interfaces in a fixed segment display platform. Once a user decides to add/edit a parameter or home screen, the user may get a preview display area in the software tool which mimics how the screen segments are laid out in the actual display. These segments may appear as boxes which can be selected/unselected by the user to determine if the wall module should show/hide the segment when the parameter or home screen is shown on the display.
The approach may include a list of default standard application configurations that can be selected by the user to minimize the level of effort required to setup the module. This feature provides the user with flexibility and ease of use when setting up the wall module display and configuration. Once the user selects the standard application configuration to the wall module, the wall module may be automatically set up, including relevant display and navigation parameters. If the user wants to customize the information/navigation in the standard application further, the user has flexibility to customize it from the software tool itself via a simple customize function. This aspect of the tool may allow the user to configure the display with minimum effort and at the same time allow customization of the display and information to be shown, providing maximum usability.
The present approach may have features that include standard applications in a library, the ability to customize existing applications or create new applications, memory usage indicator, intuitive approach of customizing the display, auto-preview of the current configuration, auto-bind to a controller, and so forth.
Standard applications in a library, the ability to customize existing applications or create new ones, a memory usage indicator, an intuitive approach of customizing the display, and auto-preview of the current configuration, and auto-binding to a controller may be features incorporated in the software tool to make it easy for the user to set up the HVAC wall module. Users may select a standard application from the application library which would have the configuration settings already defined for the wall module. If required, the user can make changes to this existing application by clicking on a customize button or can create a completely new application. In such cases, some default settings may be already done for the user by the software tool. When customizing or creating new applications, users can add/delete/edit properties and its related settings (e.g., limits, defaults, fixed segments to be lit) from the software tool. At the same time, users can enable/disable the default functions that are available (e.g., occupancy control/system settings/fan settings) by one mouse click. Users can even customize the limits for these individual functions if required. The customized or new applications may be saved to the library for future use. As the user is customizing the wall module and making functional changes, a memory meter may provide an indication of the available memory in the wall module for the selected configuration. Similarly, the auto preview feature shows how the changes that the user is making for the individual parameter/function would appear on the actual wall module display. Finally, the user can graphically customize the display by selecting the screen elements (i.e., segments) that should be enabled for different functions. This approach may provide an intuitive approach for display customization because the user can easily visualize how the wall module will work as the user is customizing the display. This feature can reduce errors since changes are immediately visible and the user can determine if the information does not appear appropriate and change it before a download of the configuration to the wall module.

A system area may consist of two parts which are System Status 15 and System mode setpoint 16. The System symbol and line may be displayed it either system status 15 or system mode setpoint 16 is configured. The System Status 15 may be a flake, flame, or no symbol. Flake may be displayed if in COOL or REHEAT mode. Flame may be displayed if in HEAT, or REHEAT mode. No symbols are necessarily displayed if the system is OFF.
The System mode setpoint 16 may be OFF, AUTO, COOL, HEAT and/or EMERGENCY. OFF may be displayed if tenant commanded OFF from the wall module. AUTO may be displayed if tenant commanded AUTO from the wall module. COOL may be displayed if tenant commanded COOL from the wall module. HEAT may be displayed if tenant commanded HEAT or Emergency Heat from the wall module. EMERGENCY may be displayed if tenant commanded Emergency heat from the wall module. Note that the contractor may set all of the setpoints from the Tool.
There may be an occupancy status area 17. The contractor, via the Tool, may configure effective occupancy to be always displayed or instead show the commanded override if in override. If status area 17 shows an effective occupancy, then the “Occupied” symbol may be displayed if in occupied mode, the Unoccupied symbol may be displayed if in unoccupied mode, and the Standby symbol may be displayed if in standby. If the tenant is commanding an override, then the Occupied, Unoccupied or Standby symbol may be shown to indicate the command, the Override symbol 18 may be shown on screen 11 to indicate the tenant is requesting override, a time remaining symbol 18 may be shown to indicate if the tenant currently selected a timed override.
The middle alpha numeric area 19 may display the amount of timed override entered by the tenant. This could be time or days remaining. Nothing might be shown if the time is continuous. The top alpha numeric area 30 may show “HOURS” or “DAYS”, if the current selection is a timed override. The wall module could show “HOLD” if continuous override. In other words, for continuous override, “HOLD” may be shown as in area 30.
There may be a fan setpoint area 20. The fan symbol may be displayed if area 20 is configured by the contractor. The fan symbol does not necessarily stand alone. It may be present with at least one of the other symbols. Another symbol OFF may be displayed if the tenant or Tool commanded OFF. AUTO may be displayed if the tenant or Tool commanded AUTO. ON may be displayed if the tenant or Tool commanded ON (2 or 3 position). BAR1 may be displayed if the tenant or Tool commanded speed 1 from the wall module (5-position). “BAR1+BAR2” may be displayed if the tenant or Tool commanded speed 2 from the wall module (5-position). A BAR1+BAR2+BAR3 may be displayed if the tenant or Tool commanded speed 3 from the wall module (5-position). There could be a different number of positions.
There may be the top alpha numeric area 30. The left portion of area 30 may contain a value with the Room or Setpoint symbol optionally displayed. The right portion of area 30 may contain a value with the Outside, Humidity %, or both symbols optionally displayed.
The middle alpha numeric area 19 may optionally display a value. The Setpoint, Temperature and/or Room symbols may be optionally displayed. A unit symbol may be optionally displayed. The appropriate decimal point may be displayed.
Area 19 may optionally displays the current time including a colon. Time may be displayed as configured by the Tool in 12/24 hour format. The AM/PM symbols may be shown as appropriate. Areas 30, 19 and 18 may optionally display the Time Remaining and Override symbols if an override is commanded.
Component 22 is an application type drop down list. An application type may be selected. There may be different application types that the user can select. One could be a standard application (default). This selection defaults to the standard application location in the software tool. Standard application names are shown in the select application drop down list. Another is a custom application defined by the user using the software tool. This selection defaults to the current application location in the software tool. The user can browse to a different file location if user wants to save the custom application (component 32). Existing custom application names would be shown in the selection application drop down list (component 23). A third selection type may be a new application. This selection hides the select application drop down list and the user is immediately shown all the wizard steps, component 60 in
Component 23 is a select application drop down list. The list shows available applications. The default standard application may be “VAV-No Balance, Network Override Time”, as shown in item 27 in
Application selection will show list of applications which are either compatible in terms of an onboard sensor or a subset of onboard sensors of the selected model. For example, if a model with a Temperature and CO2 sensor is selected “Select Application” will just show applications having Temperature/CO2/Temperature+CO2/none sensors. This has been done to avoid complicated rules that would occur in case one shows all applications irrespective of the model type.
Component 24 may be a wall module address drop down list having a data range from 1 to 15 with a maximum of two digits. The maximum and minimum of the range and digits could be different than as indicated. The range is selectable. Functionality may have an address for wall modules on a 2 wire bus (corresponding to dip switch selections). A default may be 1. This field may be hidden for any wall modules that are not on a 2 wire bus.
Component 25 may be the time display format which is selectable. Here the user may specify whether time is shown in 12 hour or 24 hour units.
Component 26 may be a preview button which is clickable. The preview button is shown as soon as a user selects a certain model and application (or new application). When clicked, a small pop up is shown which simulates the wall model functionality based on the application selected and the configuration options defined to that point in the wizard.
Component 27 of

Component 43 is a parameter description which is editable. Here the user may add a description for the parameter. The maximum number of characters is 255, although the maximum number could be greater or less than 255. Parameter descriptions may be shown to the user via a mouse over in a preview screen. The parameter description may also be available with a mouse over a function block slot in wire sheet.
Component 44 may be a parameter type. Sensor parameter types may depend on the model selected. Several parameter types that the user can select may include Value from Controller, Value from Wall Module, Dynamic Value (i.e., it can be changed by either the controller or wall module—the last one wins), Temperature from Wall Module (depends on model), CO2 from Wall Module (depends on model), Humidity from Wall Module (depends on model), Sensor Offset Value (Internal), and Time. Each parameter type may be preceded by an icon. The parameter type selection may define the fields to be shown. Defaults for sensors may be as in the following—Sensors (Temp, CO2, Humidity): Viewable=disabled, Editable=disabled (does not apply), Number of decimals=0, Default sensor offset=0. There may be defaults for other types of parameters. Parameter types for each sensor should be filtered based on the model selected. In other words, a user cannot add a CO2 sensor parameter if the wall module model does not support it. Component 45 may show a number of decimals selection which applies to all parameter types except time. Options may be 0, 1 and 2, or other. For adjustable value and dynamic parameter types, the number of decimals may affect increment/decrement options.
Component 46 may indicate a sensor off set value which is editable. Users may enter an offset value for the selected sensor. The sensor offset is added to the raw sensor reading to allow the contractor to tune the wall module to the installed environment. Typically this value is 0.0, but may be any number.
Component 47, i.e., screen area, may show labels which show areas. Label (segment) boxes may be selectable. Users can define the segments (labels) to be shown by selecting the corresponding boxes. Selecting a box may toggle the segment (label) on/off. Selected segments (labels) may be shown in preview and in the LCD of the actual wall module after downloading the configuration from the tool.
In
In
Component 51 may be that of time. Here the user can decide what part of time the user wants to configure. The choices may include time of day (from the controller, read only), hours (dynamic value), minutes (dynamic value), day (dynamic value), month (dynamic value) and year (dynamic value).
Component 52 of
Component 53 may provide an autobind (e.g., a parameter) to the controller. This may be selected by default. Here, the user may have the choice to bind automatically to the controller. When selected, no slots are shown in the wall module function block and binding is done internally with the controller (like sensor offsets).
Component 60 as shown in
Component 57 may include home screen options having names and being selectable. The home screen is the first screen a user may see when starting to interact with the wall module. Here the user can see the available home screen options that are configured in the wall module. Selected home screen may be shown in the preview area. There may be a default home screen (home screen shown on initial download) which is shown as <HOME SCREEN NAME> (Default). When the user comes to this screen, the default home screen is shown in the top of the list and is automatically selected (preview shown).
Component 58 may be a set as default button which is clickable. Users can change the default home screen by selecting a home screen option from the list and pressing the set as a default button. If the selected home screen is already the default, the button is disabled.
Component 59 may be an add home screen button which is clickable. If the user presses the add button, a new home screen option may be added at the bottom of the tree and the default name will be (New Home ##) where ## is the number of new home screens in the list (starting at 1). Users may automatically be taken to a home screen details screen.
Component 61 may be a clickable edit button. If the user presses the edit button, the user may be taken to the corresponding detail screen for the home screen selected.
Component 62 may be clickable remove button. Pressing this button will remove the selected home screen from the list. The following warning message shown may indicate that you want to remove a home screen option. If you do this the home screen option will not be available in the wall module and you will not be able to undo this change.
Component 63 indicates a home screen option (Name) preview. It is read only. The name of the home screen is shown in parentheses in the preview area. Component 64 is the home screen preview area. There may be a clickable next button. The user can cycle through the previews by pressing the grey button below the next label. The user may be shown the home screen options in a round-robin (open loop) order. The next label does not necessarily show if there is only one home screen option. If so, the button is inactive.
Component 65 of
Component 66 may be for a clickable and selectable option type. There are two types of home screen options that the user can create. Multiple parameters—the user may select up to three parameters and any labels (segments). Single parameter—the user can select one parameter and provide a unique 8 character label. In both options the user can also select any labels (segments) to show.
Component 67 may be a for label and parameter selection section. The option type selection affects the label and parameter section below. The maximum number of digits for each region is shown as read only text. This may help ensure the user selects the parameters that will “fit” in the region.
In
Component 69 is for providing parameter selection drop down lists. There may be three drop down selection boxes for users to select parameters to show (corresponding to three regions in LCD). The number of boxes and parameters may be other than three. Drop down lists show NONE at the top. NONE is the default for new home screens. Drop down lists may be populated with all sensor parameters. Sensors may always be shown in drop down list even if category is removed. If a user selects a parameter with more digits than are available based on position, the available digits should max out in the wall module. For example, if user wanted to show CO2Value (1200) in top left corner, it would max out as 999 on the display (i.e., would show as—in the preview). A warning message may indicate for adjustable value and dynamic parameters selected for the home screen when the low limit or high limit exceeds the number of digits available. This means the parameter value shown in the home screen could be larger than the number of digits. There may be help documentation available that shows the consequences of the above situation.
Component 71 of
In
Component 73 may be an “OK” T button. The OK button may be disabled until the user selects a parameter in the list. Component 74 may be a clickable “Cancel” button. If the user presses the Cancel button any selections made may be ignored and the window is closed (taking the user back to the previous screen with the drop down list still open).
Component 75 may be a selectable parameter as shown in
Component 76, as shown in
Component 77 of
Component 78 may show an occupancy and override preview. This area may show a preview of the LCD override configuration options. Component 79 may show an occupancy status display options preview. Here the user can see the display option that is configured. All valid occupancy states may be shown in the preview with the active one black and other states grayed out.
In
Component 83 may provide a fan command state preview. Here the user can see the fan state that is configured. The default fan state is shown enabled (black). All valid fan states may also be shown as grayed out (varies depending on option).
Component 84 shows the fan soft key label. It is a read only and the button below the label is clickable. If fan command is enabled (via check box above), the FAN soft key label may be shown and the button be activated. Pressing the button may cycle through the available fan command options and the preview area will behave per the LCD.
Component 85 of
In
Component 88 may provide a system command review. All valid system commands may be shown based on the configuration option selected. The default system command may be shown enabled (black). Other options may be shown as disabled. If a show system status is not selected, then the enabling system command may also show a horizontal line and SYSTEM label.
Component 89 may be a soft key label. A button below the label is clickable. If system command is enabled (via check box above), the SYSTEM soft key label may be shown and the button be activated. Pressing the button may cycle through the available system command options and the preview area may behave per the LCD.
Component 91 in
Component 92 may provide a review of the options. There may be two preview options. One is the tenant view in
Component 93 may provide a preview area. Selecting the views changes the behavior of the wall module below (just like if done at actual wall module). All of the valid settings may be shown based on the configuration at the point the preview button is pressed (including any defaults).
Component 94 may include clickable soft keys. The soft key buttons may function just like the LCD. There are no up/down buttons because none of the settings can be changed. If a soft key segment is not enabled (e.g., FAN) based on the configuration, the soft key button is not necessarily clickable.
Component 95 may be a clickable close button. Since there may be no functional changes associated with this preview, just a close button is provided.
Component 54, in
Component 100 may be a clickable finish button in
In the present specification, some of the matter may be of a hypothetical or prophetic nature although stated in another manner or tense.
Although the invention has been described with respect to at least one illustrative example, many variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the present specification. It is therefore the intention that the appended claims be interpreted as broadly as possible in view of the prior art to include all such variations and modifications.
