Configuration output system
View Patent ↗A configuration output system for use with a building automation system is provided. The configuration output system includes a database and an output engine block. The database contains a configuration data set selected by a user. The output engine block is operable to generate a plurality of types of outputs representing the configured building automation system as a function of the configuration data set.
1. A computer-readable medium having instructions executable on a computer stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
receiving data associated with user-selected features for a configured building automation system;
filtering the received data to form at least one data group;
assigning a different level of hierarchy to the data group;
generating a plurality of types of outputs based on the filtered data;
filtering the data to form a device data group, at least one device being identified from the data associated with user-selected features;
filtering the data to form an element data group, an element representing the device;
assigning a higher level of hierarchy to the device data group;
assigning the same level of hierarchy to the element data group and the page data group; and
filtering the data to form a page data group, a page being associated with the element.
2. A computer-readable medium having instructions executable on a computer stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
receiving data associated with user-selected features for a configured building automation system;
filtering the received data to form at least one data group;
assigning a different level of hierarchy to the data group;
generating a plurality of types of outputs based on the filtered data;
filtering the data to form a device data group, at least one device being identified from the data associated with user-selected features;
filtering the data to form an element data group, an element representing the device;
assigning a high level of hierarchy to the device data group;
assigning an intermediate level of hierarchy to the element data group;
assigning a low level of hierarchy to the page data group; and
filtering the data to form a page data group, a page being associated with the element.
3. The computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the filtering instruction further comprises:
filtering the data to form a coordinates data group, a coordinates indicating a location of the element to be displayed.
4. The computer readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the assigning instruction comprises:
assigning a lower level of hierarchy to the coordinates data group than the age data group.
