A building control system for configuring and deploying electronic devices installed in a building comprising a plurality of space control systems. Each space control system comprises a plurality of electronic devices adapted to communicate via a network to control at least one load installed in the space and a memory that stores device data comprising a unique identifier that uniquely identifies the electronic device within the building control system associated with a device identifier that references the electronic device within the space control system. The electronic devices of one space control system can be configured by assigning at least one setting to at least one device identifier. A template can be created comprising the device identifiers and associated settings of the one of the space control systems. The template can be applied another space control system by applying the settings in the template to electronic devices with matched device identifiers.

A method for controlling a drive having at least one converter, at least one motor and an assigned drive control, wherein a failsafe CPU is operated separately from the drive control and only processes safety-relevant information, where a number of safety functions are implemented by the failsafe CPU such that the safety-relevant functions of the drive are implemented in a simple and reliable manner.
