Abstract: A device for use in a building management system (BMS) is a controller device. The device includes a base comprising a first processor and a base interface, the first processor being configure to provide control operations for a device in the building system, and a first module installable on and removable from the base. The first module includes a first module interface for receiving power from and communicating with the base via the base interface. In some embodiments, the device includes an optional a second module installable on and removable from the base, the second module comprising a second module interface for receiving power from and communicating with the base via the base interface.

Abstract: An actuator includes a solenoid including a coil and a plunger, a switch circuit coupled to the coil, and a control circuit coupled to the switch circuit. The control circuit is configured to receive a feedback signal representative of a plunger position. The control circuit is also configured to provide power to the solenoid via the switch circuit and reduce power to the solenoid via the switch circuit in response to the feedback signal being representative of the plunger being in a full travel position.

Abstract: A building system of a building, the building system including an embedded computer, the embedded computer including one or more circuits configured to implement a universal serial bus (USB) host and communicate with peripheral USB building devices via the USB host, receive building data from at least one of the peripheral USB building devices, generate one or more control decisions for one or more of the peripheral USB building devices, and communicate the one or more control decisions to the one or more of the peripheral USB building devices via USB connection. The building system includes the peripheral USB building devices, wherein each of the peripheral USB building devices are connected to the USB host via at least one of a direct USB connection to the embedded computer or an indirect USB connection through another one of the peripheral USB building devices.
