HVAC CONTROLLER WITH INTEGRATED WIRELESS NETWORK PROCESSOR CHIP
First Claim
1. A controller in a building management system (BMS), the controller comprising:
- an integrated wireless network processor chip comprising;
a wireless radio configured to exchange data communications with one or more BMS devices controlled by the controller;
a processor in communication with the wireless radio and located on a same chip as the wireless radio;
memory in communication with the wireless radio and located on the same chip as the wireless radio, the memory comprising communication stacks configured to facilitate communications using a building automation and control network communications protocol and a WiFi communications protocol; and
wherein the integrated wireless network processor chip receives data from the BMS devices via the wireless radio, formats the data using the processor, stores the data in the memory, and sends the data via the wireless radio without requiring any additional processing or communications components outside the integrated wireless network processor chip.

Abstract
A controller in a building management system (BMS) includes an integrated wireless network processor chip. The integrated wireless network processor chip includes a wireless radio, a processor, and memory. The wireless radio is configured to exchange data communications with one or more BMS devices controlled by the controller. Both the processor and memory are in communication with the wireless radio and located on the same chip as the wireless radio. The memory includes communication stacks configured to facilitate communications using a building automation and control network communications protocol and a WiFi communications protocol. The integrated wireless network processor chip receives data from the BMS devices via the wireless radio, formats the data using the processor, stores the data in the memory, and sends the data via the wireless radio without requiring any additional processing or communications components outside the integrated wireless network processor chip.
