Abstract: A system for a building includes a device includes a first and second connector. The device also includes a switch having a first, a second, and a third port. The first connector is coupled to the first port of the switch and the second connector is coupled to the second port of the switch. The device also includes a controller that causes the first port to be coupled to the second port when the switch is not involved in communication between the first and second ports and the third port. When the switch is involved in communication between the first and second ports, the first port and the second port are each coupled to the third port, and the third port is coupled to the controller.

Abstract: A device for use in a building management system (BMS) includes a base hardware component that provides communication between the equipment and a first network associated with the BMS. The base hardware component includes a processor and a memory. The device further includes a modular hardware component connected to the base hardware component and a modular software component stored in the memory that recognizes the modular hardware component connected to the base hardware component and provides communication between the equipment and a second network using the modular hardware component. The processor executes a control application to control operation of the equipment based in part on data received from the equipment and data received from at least one of the first network and the second network.
