Building control system field panel having integrated web server
First Claim
1. A controller for use in a building control system, the controller comprising:
- at least one input operably connected to receive sensor information;
at least one output operably connected to communicate control information;
a processing circuit configured to, generate the control information based on the sensor information and at least one set point, generate web pages including one or more building control values; and
at least one communication circuit operable to communicate the generated web pages to an external web client, the at least one communication circuit further operable to communicate an executable program to the external web client, the executable program operable to cause the external web client to automatically poll for updates to at least one of the one or more building control values.

Abstract
A controller for use in a building control system includes an input, an output, a processing circuit and a communication circuit. The input is operably connected to receive sensor information. The output is operably connected to communicate control information. The processing circuit is configured to generate the control information based on the sensor information and at least one set point. The processing circuit is further operable to generate web pages including one or more building control values. The communication circuit is operable to communicate the generated web pages to an external web client. The communication circuit is preferably further operable to communicate an executable program to the external web client. The executable program is configured to cause the external web client to automatically poll for updates to at least one of the one or more building control values.
