METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BINDING IN A BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM
An automation component configured for wireless communication within a building automation system is disclosed. The automation component includes a wireless communications component, a processor in communications with the wireless communications component and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory configured to stored computer readable instructions which are executable by the processor. The computer readable instructions are programmed to generate a binding request including a device identifier, broadcast the binding request via the wireless communications component, and establish a binding relationship based on a received response to the binding request. A method for binding an automation component within a building automation system is further disclosed. The method includes communicating a binding request via a wireless communication link wherein the binding request includes a device identifier, receiving a binding response via the wireless communication link, and establishing a binding relationship based on the received binding response.
1 . An automation component configured for wireless communication within a building automation system, the automation component comprising:
a wireless communications component;
a processor in communication with the wireless communications component;
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory configured to store computer readable instructions which are executable by the processor; wherein the computer readable instructions are programmed to:
generate a binding request including a device identifier;
broadcast the binding request via the wireless communications component; and
establish a binding relationship based on a received response to the binding request.
2 . The automation component of claim 1 , wherein the device identifier is selected from the group consisting of: a logical identifier; an internet protocol address; a media access control address; and a local network address.
3 . The automation component of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable instructions are further programmed to:
establish a temporary binding relationship based on an initial received response to the binding request
4 . The automation component of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable instructions are further programmed to:
generate a personal area network binding request having a device identifier; and
establish a personal area network binding relationship based on a received response to the binding personal area network.
5 . The automation component of claim 1 , wherein the memory is configured to store a man-machine interface.
6 . A method for binding an automation component within a building automation system, the method comprising:
communicating a binding request via a wireless communication link wherein the binding request includes a device identifier;
receiving a binding response via the wireless communication link; and
establishing a binding relationship based on the received binding response.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein communicating a binding request including broadcasting the binding request.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein communicating the binding request further comprises:
communicating the included device identifier selected from the group consisting of: a logical identifier; an internet protocol address; a media access control address; and a local network address.
9 . The method of claim 6 further comprising:
establishing a temporary binding relationship based on an initial received response to the binding request.
10 . The method of claim 6 further comprising:
communicating a personal area network binding request having a device identifier; and
establishing a personal area network binding relationship based on a received response to the binding personal area network.
11 . The method of claim 6 further comprising:
configuring the binding request via a man-machine interface.
12 . An automation component configured for wireless communication within a building automation system, the automation component comprising:
a processor configured to generate a binding request including a device identifier;
a wireless transmitter configured to wirelessly broadcast the binding request to a second automation component; and
a receiver configured to receive a binding response communicated from the second automation component;
wherein a binding relationship is established with the second automation component based on the received response.
13 . The automation component of claim 12 , wherein the device identifier is selected from the group consisting of: a logical identifier; an internet protocol address; a media access control address; and a local network address.
14 . The automation component of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a temporary binding relationship based on an initial received response to the binding request
15 . The automation component of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a personal area network binding request having a device identifier and establish a personal area network binding relationship based on a received response to the binding personal area network.
16 . The automation component of claim 12 further comprising a man-machine interface.
