Memory recovery scheme and data structure in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning network
The disclosure provides systems and methods for conveying information between a communicating first device and a second coupled device of a HVAC network. In various embodiments, the method comprises checking a subnet of the HVAC network for both communicating device and a non-communicating device by the communicating first device. The method also comprises determining whether the second coupled device in a non-communicating device. The method further comprises allowing an installer to set parameters of the non-communicating device through employment of a manifest list of features used by the non-communicating device that is accessible by the communicating device.
1. A method for conveying information between a communicating first device and a second device coupled to said communicating first device of a HVAC network, comprising:
checking a subnet of said HVAC network for a second device by said communicating first device;
determining whether said second device is a non-communicating device; and
allowing an installer to set internal parameters of said second device through employment of said first communicating device if said second device is said non-communicating device;
wherein said first communicating device is a HVAC component device providing at least one service in response to a control unit.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said non-communicating device is a device that communicates through said first communicating device during an installation instead of directly with an installer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first communicating device conveys said internal parameters to said second, non-communicating, device after said installer sets said parameters into said communicating.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said internal parameters mimic parameters employed in said non-communicating second device to said installer.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first communicating device and said second device are coupled to a subnetwork of said HVAC that is controlled by an active subnet controller.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said second device is an outdoor unit.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said internal parameters are associated with subnet communications of said second device.
8. An HVAC system, comprising:
a first communicating device; and
a second device coupled to said first communicating device;
wherein said first device is configured to determine if said second device is a non-communicating device and allow an installer to set internal parameters for said non-communicating device, and said first device is a HVAC component device providing at least one service in response to a control unit.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein said non-communicating device is a device that communicates through said first communicating device during an installation instead of directly with an installer.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein said first communicating device is configured to convey said parameters to said second non-communicating device after said installer sets said internal parameters into said first communicating device.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein said internal parameters mimic parameters employed in said non-communicating second device.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein said first communicating device and said second device are coupled to a subnetwork of said HVAC, said subnet controlled by an active subnet controller.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein said second device is an outdoor unit.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein said internal parameters are associated with subnet communications of said second device.
15. An HVAC system, comprising:
a first communicating device; and
a second device coupled to said first communicating device;
wherein said first device is configured to determine if said second device is a non-communicating device and allow an installer to set internal parameters for said non-communicating device, wherein said installer sets said internal parameters through employment of an Internet, and said first device is a HVAC component device providing at least one service in response to a control unit.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein said non-communicating device is a device that communicates through said first communicating device during an installation instead of directly with an installer.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein said first communicating device is configured to convey said internal parameters to said second non-communicating device after said installer sets said internal parameters into said first communicating device.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein said internal parameters mimic parameters employed in said non-communicating second device.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein said first communicating device and said second device are coupled to a subnetwork of said HVAC, said subnet controlled by an active subnet controller.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein said internal parameters are associated with subnet communications of said second device.
