Abstract
A method of performing an HVAC system set up. The method includes coupling a supervisory controller to a plurality of equipment controllers, the equipment controllers communicating with the supervisory controller over a bus. The supervisory controller polls addresses associated with the bus to detect the presence of equipment controllers on the bus. An HVAC device is associated with each controller in response to an HVAC device designated through a user interface and assigning an address to the HVAC device. The supervisory controller retrieves control data from a database and loading the control data into the equipment controllers. The supervisory controller loads operating parameters into the equipment controllers.
