Abstract:
A smart communications controller for building equipment includes an equipment port and a processing circuit including a plurality of autoconfiguration objects. Each of the autoconfiguration objects corresponds to a different communications protocol and is configured to perform a protocol testing process. The protocol testing process includes sending a request message to the building equipment using the corresponding communications protocol. The request message includes a request for an equipment ID. The protocol testing process includes receiving a response message from the building equipment in response to the request message and identifying the corresponding communications protocol as being used by the building equipment in response to the response message including the requested equipment ID. The processing circuit includes an equipment controller configured to use the identified communications protocol to generate protocol-specific control signals for the building equipment and operate the building equipment to affect a variable state or condition within the building.

Claim (Index 13):
The smart communications controller of  claim 12 , wherein:\n each of the plurality of autoconfiguration objects is configured to report a result of the protocol testing process to the autoconfiguration manager; the autoconfiguration manager is configured to terminate a first protocol testing process performed by a first autoconfiguration object in response to the first autoconfiguration object reporting a successful result of the first protocol testing process; and the autoconfiguration manager is configured to cause a second autoconfiguration object to initiate a second protocol testing process in response to the first autoconfiguration object reporting an unsuccessful result of the first protocol testing process.
