Automated Point-to-Point Checkouts in BMS
Hitesh Vora
Abstract: Point-to-point checkout in Building Management Systems (BMS) involves verifying thousands of sensors, actuators, and controllers to ensure they are correctly wired and functioning. This traditionally manual process is time-consuming and prone to human error, especially on large projects. The paper ?Automated Point-to-Point Checkouts in BMS? presents a streamlined automation approach to tackle this complexity. By leveraging open communication protocols (like BACnet), scripting frameworks, and commissioning software, each I/O point can be systematically tested and validated against expected behavior. The automation simplifies the identification and resolution of complex issues by logging results and flagging discrepancies in real time. This approach not only reduces errors and oversight but also accelerates commissioning, provides comprehensive data collection, and delivers thorough documentation, demonstrating how complex BMS checkouts can be handled in a simple, repeatable manner through automation.
