The DESIGO building automation and
control system: the powerful, open system
With its modular design, the DESIGO building automation and control
system offers virtually unlimited scope for operation, monitoring and
control. The scalable system covers everything from small, stand-
alone buildings to large, networked building complexes. DESIGO is
ideal not only for typical HVAC systems, such as heating, ventilation,
air conditioning and sanitation, but also for all other building services,
such as lighting and electricity, or fire and security.

Open to integration
The open system architecture is widely supported, making it possible to integrate third-
party systems at all three levels of the system. Even for the exchange of information
between system components, DESIGO uses well-established standard protocols,
adopted throughout the world:
BACnet – both for communication between the management level and the automation
stations, and for communication between one automation station and another.
LONMARK – for communication at the room automation level.
DESIGO also supports components and systems with interfaces such as Ethernet,
LON, EIB/KNX, Modbus, M-bus and OPC.

Easy to operate
DESIGO is distinguished by its exceptional ease of operation. The attractive local
operator units offer large fonts, and provide clear user guidance and a graphics-based
display. Operation from the management station is based on the Microsoft Windows
operating system and designed to take account of ergonomic principles.
DESIGO makes use of Web technology both at the automation level and at the
management level. Fault messages can be received and acknowledged with cost-
efficient standard equipment such as Web-Pad, PC or mobile phone. The same
technology can be used to retrieve data, trend information, statistics and reports,
irrespective of the location of the user.

Long-term investment protection and economy at every stage

With its modular design, the DESIGO building automation and control system is an
open system in every respect – open to existing systems, open to future developments
and open to other manufacturers’ systems. This uniquely versatile range of options for
expansion ensures long-term protection of your investments combined with optimum
added value.

The scalable system: for all projects from small to large

DESIGO is suitable for all projects, no matter how small or large. Its modular design
satisfies the requirement for optimum flexibility. Both the size of the management system
and its functional scope can be readily matched to all manner of customer requirements.
The advantage is that it allows you to choose only functions and components that you
really need. And if the need arises, the system can always be expanded later, stage by
stage and at all levels.

 The DESIGO system topology
The DESIGO system can be divided into three levels: the management level, the
automation level and the field level. By virtue of distributed intelligence, each of these
levels operates both autonomously and in a network.

The principal DESIGO system components:

• DESIGO INSIGHT, the management
station, for higher-level operation and
monitoring, graphics-based display of the
process, automatic alarm distribution and a
wide range of different data analysis
options.
• DESIGO PX, the automation system for
control and for operation and monitoring of
the primary plant. With PX-WEB, the
automation system can be operated via a
Web client.
• DESIGO RXC, the room automation
system, for control of comfort conditions in
individual rooms, and for operation of
lighting and blinds.
• DESIGO OPEN, for the integration of a
wide variety of plant at all levels of the
system.

 Trend/History
Fully integrated trend data processing allows effortless evaluation and analysis of
real-time (online) data and (offline) historical data. The trend feature facilitates the
monitoring and fine-tuning of the plant. In the DESIGO system this feature is
implemented in compliance with BACnet standard.
Data for trend analysis can be logged in a variety of different ways, satisfying a whole
range of requirements:

Trend logging options: Sampling options:

• Continuous logging • Polling
• Single run • COV polling (Change of Value)
• Transient run (logging over a given period) • Event-driven polling

Trend graphs can be displayed both on the PXM20 operator unit and on the
management station. The management station also allows displays in color and in 2D
or 3D.

Online trend With the Online Trend option, individual data points are registered on a COV basis or
through polling, and displayed immediately. The values are stored temporarily to allow
the analysis of transient response patterns, for example.

Offline trend The Offline Trend option by contrast, does not depend on a permanent connection
between the automation station and the operator unit, since the values in the
automation station can be stored temporarily for retrieval on the operator unit as
needed.

Features of Online Trend: Features of Offline Trend:

• Real-time display of process data • Offline data display, no connection required
• Short time periods (seconds, minutes, hours) • Longer periods of time (days or months)
• Displayed on both the PXM20 operator unit • Data acquisition in the automation system
and the DESIGO INSIGHT management • The data is uploaded to the management
station level at regular intervals or as needed
• Displayed on the DESIGO INSIGHT
management station

 Alarm management
One of the most important features of a building automation and control system is the
ability to generate alarms automatically if a fault occurs; these faults may arise in the
HVAC and other plant, or in the automation system itself. The management of alarms
(generation, display and handling) must be simple, efficient and consistent at all levels
of the system. DESIGO uses the BACnet alarm functions, and supports the following
three types of alarm with up to 256 alarm priority levels:
• Simple alarms (for alarms not requiring user interaction)
• Basic alarms (for alarms requiring acknowledgment)
• Extended alarms (alarms requiring acknowledgement and reset)

Alarm messages When an alarm occurs, it is automatically detected, registered and transferred to
operator units such as the PXM20 or PX-WEB, or to the DESIGO INSIGHT
management station. Informative alarm messages are also transmitted to remote
devices such as mobile phones, fax machines, printers or PCs and Web browsers, via
SMS and e-mail. Clear alarm lists provide a view of all pending and time-stamped
alarms at a glance, and permit straightforward processing. Operators are alerted to
incoming and pending alarms by means of pop-up windows and audible and visual
signals.

Alarm routing Alarms are transferred on the basis of time, priority and/or plant type, using an
outstandingly powerful alarm routing system at the management station. This ensures
the uninterrupted routing of alarms, irrespective of whether or not there is an operator
sitting at the management station. Users are supported in their work by various
overview options which help ensure a fast and correct response even in critical alarm
situations.

Saving energy and increasing
the service life of plant
Scheduler / Calendar
One of the basic functions of a building automation and control system is time control of
procedures and processes.
The plant in the building is operated on the basis of business and working hours, and
holidays.
Scheduler programs ensure that the heating and lighting are switched off automatically
at the end of the working day, that the temperature in the building is reduced at night,
and that the plant is not kept running for longer than necessary. They can also be used
to switch off the air conditioning in certain rooms during holidays.
The ideal scheduler programs help save energy and increase the service life of the
plant. This is another area where DESIGO excels with its straightforward and
exceptionally user-friendly operation.
Time-switching operations in the DESIGO building automation and control system are
implemented in accordance with the BACnet standard, using the BACnet objects
"Schedule" and "Calendar" for flexible operation of the building. From simple 7-day
schedules to recurring exceptions, these powerful functions make programming easy.
Through the use of standard BACnet functions, the BACnet scheduler programs can be
operated system-wide from the user-friendly operator units PXM20 and PX-WEB and
from the DESIGO INSIGHT management station.
Scheduler program in the PXM20 operator unit and on the DESIGO INSIGHT management station
For safety reasons, schedules and calendars are stored in the automation station, so
that in the event of a network or PC failure, the automation level can continue to
operate autonomously.
10

Freely-definable access rights
Users supported system-wide
Access rights
Access rights can be used to filter information from the plant and system based on the
individual requirements of a user. The resident engineer or the service engineers, for
example, only have access to the information they strictly need. A distinction can also
be made between read access and write access. Certain users may be able to read a
value but not modify it, while other users may have extended access rights, enabling
them both to read and to modify values.
Only authorized personnel are granted access to the system via the operator units.
When a user enters a user name and password, the system verifies the associated
access rights and enables access to the relevant plant. Read and write access rights
can be defined in detail, down to individual information points.
The following classes of access are supported in the DESIGO system:
• Internal
• Extended service
• Basic service
• Administration
• Extended operation
• Standard operation
• Basic operation
In addition to the above, it is possible to enable or disable the use of the various
applications, access to individual graphics pages and access to entire sites from the
management station for specific user groups. The tailoring of the environment to each
user ensures clear areas of responsibility and answerability, so simplifying cooperation
between the various user groups.
11
 Communication – Networks

Communication standards: specifically designed for building services

With the BACnet (Building Automation and Control network) open communications
protocol, compliant devices can be interconnected at low cost. The worldwide BACnet
standard was developed specifically for the needs of building services, under the
auspices of ASHRAE (the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-
Conditioning Engineers). BACnet networks provide all subscribers with access to all the
data and functions of the connected devices.

BACnet / LONMARK DESIGO uses the two worldwide standard protocols BACnet and LONMARK for the
exchange of information among its own system components. The BACnet
communication protocol is used for the exchange of information between one DESIGO
PX automation station and another, and between DESIGO PX and DESIGO INSIGHT.
DESIGO uses Ethernet/IP, LonTalk or PTP (point-to-point) as the transport medium.
For communications at the room automation level, DESIGO RXC uses the LONMARK
standard.

BACnet/IP In the case of BACnet/IP over Ethernet, the standard transport protocol UDP is used,
since BACnet already provides sufficient mechanisms for the control of data transport.
Like TCP, UDP is a transport protocol, but unlike TCP, it is a wireless protocol.

12
The management level: DESIGO INSIGHT
The clearly structured, modular, object-oriented software of the DESIGO INSIGHT
management station is based on Windows standard 32-bit technology.
The functional scope and ease of use of the software reduces operating costs and
familiarization time, while at the same time maintaining operational reliability. The
DESIGO INSIGHT applications are divided into the applications introduced below:
• Basic shell software via the taskbar
Provides a quick overall view of the system and is used to start whichever user
applications are required.
• Plant Viewer
Realistic plant graphics allowing fast, targeted monitoring and operation of the
system
• Time Scheduler
Central programming of all time-controlled building services functions.
• Alarm Viewer
Provides a detailed overall view of alarms from between one and 1,000 buildings for
the fast location and elimination of faults.

station

13
The taskbar
The shell is the first application to appear when DESIGO INSIGHT is started. It is
displayed with a taskbar. It provides fast and direct access to all the user applications,
and displays important status information.
In the case of several remote plants, it is possible to switch from one plant to another
via the taskbar, subject to the appropriate access rights. This ensures clear
demarcation lines between the various areas of responsibility and answerability.
The user's entry into the system is simplified by user-specific start-sequences with
preselected programs and plant.

The DESIGO INSIGHT taskbar

The icons on the taskbar provide access to the main user applications:

Plant Viewer – the graphical interface to the plant

Alarm Viewer – displays the state of abnormal alarm points

Trend Viewer – displays graphs containing live and historical data

Log Viewer – displays all event messages including alarms

Object Viewer – shows all data points in the system, in list form

Scheduler – allows the user to modify plant switch times

Alarm Router – routes alarms to printers, fax machines, mobile phones

and e-mail systems

Background functions in DESIGO INSIGHT:

• Life Check feature for checking the
connection to the automation systems
• Alarm upload after system start
• Check for correct running of the other
applications of DESIGO INSIGHT
• Time synchronization between management
station and automation stations.
DESIGO INSIGHT can be configured as the
time master for the system
• Hard-disk memory capacity check
• Database availability check

14
 Plant Viewer
Plant Viewer displays the areas of a building and the associated plant in graphical form.
The user works interactively with these views to monitor and control the data points
throughout the building.
Process display Plant Viewer is based on the Citect process display software supplied by Citect Pty Ltd.
Citect is a world leader in the supply of SCADA systems.
Numerous windows of different sizes can be displayed simultaneously (overlapping
or tiled).
Even large graphics, such as floor plans etc. can be accommodated, and the freely
definable page size makes them easy to view.
Setpoints, alarms etc. can be manipulated directly in the graphics. Values can be
modified or alarm can be acknowledged by clicking on the object concerned.

Real-time display Measured values, setpoints, operating modes and alarms are displayed on the screen
in real-time, and updated continuously. The form of display is determined in the
engineering phase. Changes are indicated either by the object symbol, e.g. through
animation or a change in shape or color, or by a change in color, shape, text or
movement of the values affected.

Other features of Plant Viewer:

• Genuine multitasking with fully dynamic
functioning of all active pages
• Object-oriented plant monitoring and
operation
• Freely definable page size option for
versatile handling of several pages in the
same screen
• Page selection via Page list dialog box, or
context menu or engineered buttons
(hyperlinks). Integrated standard page
selection features based on the page
naming strategy. Standard functions such as
Last/Next/Top etc.
• Object-oriented navigation between
applications
• Definition of, and quick access to "Favorite"
pages

16
Alarm Viewer
The Alarm Viewer application displays alarms by type, and provides the user with
helpful information as to the type of action required by the system. With its extensive
filter and search functions, Alarm Viewer facilitates fast and well-targeted access to
the required information.
In larger systems with more than one management station, all management stations
access the same alarm database. An alarm for any given management station is
entered in this database and automatically displayed on all other management stations.

Functions in Alarm Viewer:

• View, acknowledge and reset single or
multiple alarms
• Display the associated alarm property sheet
with detailed data point information
• Read associated alarm help text with
operating instructions or additional
information in text form
• Object-oriented navigation to other
applications, such as Plant Viewer and
Log Viewer

Pop-up windows
The pop-up window is an important means of attracting the attention of the user in the
event of an alarm. Incoming alarms are displayed in a pop-up window that opens on the
Windows desktop and appears in the foreground of all other applications (including
third-party applications).
If several alarms occur, they are displayed one after the other. To further alert the user
to the alarm with an audible signal, an audio file (.wav) can be added to each alarm
window definition.

17

Criteria for the transfer of
alarms
Alarm Router
The Alarm Router application provides for highly effective building management.
Important messages or events in the building automation and control system are
transferred to specific receivers without the need for any user action at the
management station. Alarm Router is a background application which starts when
DESIGO INSIGHT is started, whether or not a user or site is connected. Alarms and
important system events can be transferred via the following media:
• Printers
• Fax machines
• Pagers
• Mobile phones
• E-mail systems
Alarms can be grouped according to various criteria. A routing table defines the
conditions under which these alarm groups are to be routed to the assigned receivers.
In the event of connection problems, the alarm messages can be transmitted to
alternative receivers. The criteria include the following, for example:
• Time (e.g. at night, switch to the printer in the security guard's office)
• Responsibility for the site (e.g. send a fax to the company responsible for
maintaining the air conditioning)
• Urgency of the alarm (e.g. only call emergency service by pager in the case of high
priority alarms)
18
Trend Viewer

The Trend Viewer application is used to review current process data in real time
(online) and past process data (offline) over a period of time. Trend Viewer is an easy-
to-handle tool used to optimize the operation of plant and reduce costs.

Activities in Trend Viewer:

• Log process values and measured values • Monitor current plant conditions
over a period of time • Plant optimization and fine-tuning

Up to ten process values can be displayed in 2D and 3D graphs in a single trend view.
Several trend views can be displayed simultaneously in different, overlapping windows.
Both online and offline data can be displayed simultaneously in separate windows,
enabling the user to compare past and current situations.

Objects can be dragged from the System Browser and dropped directly into Trend Viewer

Essentially, trend data can be displayed in three different modes:

• Online trend logging: Displays process data which is updated whenever a change of
value (COV) occurs, or as the result of a time-based scan
• Offline trend logging: Displays past process data which has been uploaded to a
database at the management level.
• Archive data: Displays older data which has been moved from the trend database
into archive files
The trend views can be saved and retrieved at a later date. Online trend data is logged
continuously and stored in the trend database.

19
Object Viewer
Object Viewer helps users of the building automation and control system to navigate
efficiently through the entire structure. The hierarchically organized data objects are
easy to select, view and modify.

Object Viewer supports three different hierarchical views:

• Technical View
The technical view is the plant-related standard view associated with the technical
designation.
• User View
The user view is based on customer-specific user designations (user addresses).
The address structure and contents is defined during the DESIGO PX engineering
process.
• System View
The system view is a standard hierarchical view, representing the topology of the
BACnet network, whereby a site contains devices and each device contains objects.

System Browser
The left pane of Object Viewer contains the System Browser, which displays a
hierarchically structured view of the system (in a tree-structure). The right pane of
Object Viewer displays the contents of the currently selected object.

20
Functions in Object Viewer:
• Fast navigation through the building
automation and control system
• Fast location of objects and alarms
• Detailed information on the properties of
each object
• Display of real-time data from the process.
• Modification of setpoints and parameters,
and manual override of outputs
• Jump functions Back / Forward
• Modification and definition of
object-related text
• Function with wildcarding for quick and direct
access to certain objects
• Object search in other views by changing
view in context-menu
• Read/Write access levels are supported.
• Object Editor: A user-friendly option for
editing all imported objects
21
 Log Viewer
Log Viewer provides users with access to all events that have occurred within the
system. Events and user activities are archived in chronological order in the log
database and can be viewed whenever required.

Event Handler The data logging system is a background service performed by the Event Handler in
DESIGO INSIGHT, which continuously logs reported events as follows:
• Alarm events from the process level, such as plant alarms and high priority warnings.
The alarm is logged when it occurs, and thereafter upon acknowledgment, reset and
return to normal.
• System events from DESIGO INSIGHT management stations and PX automation
stations. Examples are disconnection, dial-up, start-up, shutdown, hard-disk
monitoring, battery checks etc.
• User events for reporting user activities on management station. These include
authorized and unauthorized user log-in procedures and the modification of values,
parameters and setpoints etc.
• Status events from the process level, such as plant ON/OFF etc.

The user interface of Log Viewer has the same “look & feel” as the Alarm Viewer and is
based on the same versatile sort and filter functions.

Functions in Log Viewer:

• Query-configurations can be stored and re-
used. The status bar displays the current filter
and sort status
• The Log Viewer display is divided into five tabs:
All, Alarm, System, User and Status, enabling
the user to pre-select events of a particular
category
• Columns can be flexibly rearranged, re-sized or
hidden as required
• The events logged for a specific object, such as
events associated with a given site, automation
station or data point, can be located quickly in
the left pane (System Browser). The System
Browser can be hidden.

The logged data is stored on a Microsoft SQL server or in an MSDE database, and
protected by password.

Log and trend data archiving

The archiving function serves to remove data from the runtime databases. This is
necessary firstly to create space for new data in cases where storage capacity is
normally limited, and secondly, to store the data in a suitable form for retrieval at a later
date. The removed data is archived in a safe location for later retrieval and display as
necessary. Data is archived in DESIGO INSIGHT automatically on the basis of time or
quantity of data accumulated, or manually by the user.

22
DESIGO INSIGHT Web Access
Web Access provides access to the system via a browser, using integrated Web
technology.
This cost-effective solution reduces the cost of training, software installation and
maintenance. DESIGO INSIGHT Web Access facilitates and encourages the simple
distribution of building information to those who need it, and at the point where it is
needed.
Unlike many other Web-based solutions, Web Access does not use any script
components on the client side. All processing takes place on the Web server. This
means that client browsers can work with Web Access without having to download any
browser add-ons. Many customer networks inhibit or even forbid the downloading of
Active-X or similar scripts.
User authentication is achieved by integrating Windows network access and the
authorized DESIGO INSIGHT users. Each time a user accesses the system, the
appropriate DESIGO INSIGHT user access rights are automatically assigned to the
Web pages displayed.
• Index Page is the equivalent of the "Home Page". From here, the user can obtain a
quick overall view of the system, or start navigating around the site.
• Graphics-based view of the plant at the automation level, including dynamic
updates of status and alarms, and navigation through the hierarchy. Data points can
be operated and alarms can be manipulated directly in the graphics. The pages can
be generated with the standard graphics in Plant Viewer, so retaining the familiar
DESIGO INSIGHT look and feel. No special Web authoring tools are required.
• Alarms from the DESIGO INSIGHT database are collated in tables. They can be
sorted, filtered, and predefined, or processed dynamically. Users can process alarms
and receive dynamic feedback from the system.
• Log data logged on the management station can be retrieved via a browser. All
activities in the browser are added, with the relevant user name, to the normal
DESIGO INSIGHT entries in the central log database.
• Reports can be displayed dynamically and used for data point control. The limited
performance of some handheld Web browsers can be overcome by use of reports.
• The User information option provides an overview of the Read and Write privileges
of a logged-in user.

Features of Web Access (via a Web browser):

• Fast access to important user functions
• Display and edit plant graphics
• Possibility of immediate display and
processing of alarms
• Logging in the log database of remote users
and activities for later evaluation in the
browser
• Filtering and sorting of data in the alarm and
log databases, for fast access to the
information required
• The integration of the DESIGO INSIGHT
access rights into the Windows network
ensures access security based on
predefined access rights

The DESIGO PX automation level
The DESIGO PX automation system meets all the requirements associated with the
control and monitoring of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems and other
building services. The most striking features of DESIGO PX are the scalability of the
system with its programmable automation stations and graded range of operator units,
and the system's openness.

A range of freely programmable automation stations

There are two series of automation stations in the range: compact and modular. The
main difference between the two categories is the flexibility of their data point mix.

This strategy ensures optimum adaptability to customer requirements and to the

building services plant.

activities. Their key feature is their fixed configuration of integrated inputs and outputs.
With their compact construction, they can even be installed in control panels where
space is severely restricted.
All compact automation stations are freely programmable and incorporate the full range
of system functions.
The network-compatible operator units can be connected either via the built-in port or
via the network. In addition, up to five QAX… room units can be linked via a two-wire
connection directly to the PPS2 interface.

The field level: the DESIGO I/O modules
The I/O modules provide the interface to the equipment at the field level. The
I/O modules are connected to the automation stations via the P bus and can be
interconnected in application-specific configurations.

A wide range of I/O modules is available, covering detection, measurement, counting,

switching and positioning.

The I/O modules have LEDs to indicate the status of the plant and, depending on type,
some have controls for manual or emergency operation.

The "intelligent" PTM5… I/O modules are used to integrate third-party systems and
components. For example, when pumps are connected, access to the following
information is available: control of operating mode, setpoint adjustment, fault and status
codes, delivery head, delivery and speed.

DESIGO RXC
The DESIGO RXC room automation system provides individual demand-based comfort
for building users in public buildings, offices, schools, hotels, etc.

The DESIGO RXC equipment controls and monitors defined comfort conditions in
rooms and other enclosed spaces. These functions are finely tuned to satisfy specific
requirements in each room or zone. This makes it possible to take account of individual
comfort requirements while simultaneously saving energy.

Easy control of HVAC, lighting and blinds

The modular design of DESIGO RXC makes it possible to combine the operation of
lighting and blinds with the HVAC control system. Using just one operator unit, room
users can adjust all the room functions to suit their requirements.

Stand-alone operation at field level, or integration into the

building automation and control system
The devices in the DESIGO RXC range communicate with each other and with other
LONMARK-compatible devices using a standard protocol (LONMARK over LON bus).
Seamless integration into the DESIGO building automation and control system makes
available the additional functions of building management.

The DESIGO RXC software

Each device is loaded with application software (referred to elsewhere in this section
simply as the "application") which contains the control program for the associated room
or area.
Siemens Building Automation maintains a comprehensive library of applications
covering a wide range of HVAC and electrical applications.

The room controllers

RXC10.1, the controller in a room-style housing:
This controller is a cost-effective combination of a room unit and an HVAC controller.

Compact-series room controllers, RXC20.1, RXC21.1, RXC22.1 and RXC32.1

The input/output configuration and mounting options of these controllers make them
ideal for fan coil applications. The RXC32.1 controller is particularly suitable for
standard single-duct VAV systems. It comes with a built-in volume sensor.

Modular-series room controllers, RXC30/31

The basic units provide flexible control solutions which can be further enhanced with
extension modules (RXC40/41) for lighting and blinds.

34
 The room unit: the key to individual comfort
The DESIGO RXC range of room units covers the widely differing needs of room
occupants. The designers of these stylish room units also took account of ergonomic
factors.

The HVAC system, lighting and blinds can be operated in various ways:
• In the conventional manner, with standard room units for HVAC and electric switches
to control lighting and blinds

Examples from the QAX3… range ... and the QAX50 range

• The integrated room unit combines the operation of HVAC, lighting and blinds in a
single device. The keypad can be configured with the combination of buttons and
switches best suited to the application.

Applications
A range of predefined, downloadable applications makes DESIGO RXC highly
versatile. The standard applications are available in a library covering various fields of
application such as fan-coil units, radiators, chilled ceilings and integrated applications
incorporating lighting and blinds.

Due to the fact that these applications are largely pre-defined, engineering is reduced
to the definition of a small number of parameters.

Example of integrated applications

The HVAC applications covered by the basic controllers RXC30.1 and RXC31.1 can be
combined with control of lighting and blinds.

Stand-alone operation at field level

The room automation system can operate as a stand-alone system. All the required
functions are achieved through LONMARK communications between the RXC devices.

Integration into the automation level

DESIGO RXC can be integrated into the automation level via the PXR system
controller, making possible a whole range of additional functions. The PXR converts
LONMARK objects into BACnet objects and provides a comprehensive range of grouping
functions.

The PXR system controller makes the following functions possible:

• Concentration of data at room level, and easy manipulation of this data
• Simple definition of groups
• Implementation of system functions (time schedules, trends, alarm generation etc.)
• Coordination with the primary plant
• Using PX-WEB, the automation level can be operated from a Web client

Integration into the management level

Because it is integrated into the automation level, the room level can also be displayed
and operated at the management level.

The control and operation of the RXC devices with DESIGO INSIGHT opens the way to
a range of additional functions including the following:
• Monitoring and operation of rooms, plus trend logging
• Time schedules for building use and room occupancy
• Integration of controller data into plant graphics
• Central control of setpoints, operating modes, lighting, blinds etc.

36
 Integration using DESIGO OPEN
DESIGO allows simple and cost-effective integration of third-party systems and
equipment at the management level, automation level and field level.

The modular and open system strategy enables integration to be based on functional
requirements and the economy of the solution.
The internationally recognized levels within the building automation and control system
model also provide an important basis for the integration of third-party systems and
equipment.
The division into the three levels is based on the automation tasks and the associated
communication requirements

The management level: DESIGO INSIGHT OPEN
The management level is responsible for monitoring the processes in the building and
for providing a simple means of operation and fine-tuning designed to optimize
operation.

With integration at this level, the third-party system is connected directly to the
management station and its database systems. In terms of functions, the emphasis is
on alarm handling, reporting, long-term data acquisition, operation and monitoring of
the system concerned. Integration into the management level primarily involves stand-
alone subsystems or island systems with large volumes of data.

As a native BACnet management station, DESIGO INSIGHT integrates third-party

devices and systems in compliance with BACnet 135-2001 directly and without
additional interface conversion.
The functional scope of the overall system is based on the overlapping function of
DESIGO INSIGHT, operating here as a BACnet client and the connected third-party
system (operating as a BACnet server). It can be determined by comparing the PICS.

Technical features;
• Connection in accordance with ENV 1805-1 (BACnet management level) to
BACnet/IP, BACnet PTP or BACnet/LonTalk
• European character set ISO 8859-1
• Data objects supported: Analog Input and Output; Binary Input and Output; Analog
and Binary Value; Multistate Input, Output, Value; Schedule and Calendar; Trend
log; Device; Notification Class
• Follows the B-OWS device profile (BACnet Operator Workstation)
• Read and write access in accordance with BACnet rules of priority
• Data points from third-party systems loaded with an EDE data point list and set up in
DESIGO

In addition to the above, DESIGO INSIGHT, with its integrated SCADA (Supervisory
Control And Data Acquisition) functions, incorporates powerful mechanisms for the
connection of any third-party systems required, and offers the following functions for
this purpose:

• Graphical operation of the plant and the process

• Alarm display and operation
• Dynamic trend curves and long-term data logging
• Operation via data point topology in the Explorer
• Log book and message archiving
• Alarm routing to message receivers

38
The automation level: PX-OPEN
The integration of third-party or field-bus systems at the automation level permits
flexible re-processing of the third-party system data and enables functions to be linked
quickly, directly and reliably to the distributed automation processes in the building
(peer-to-peer communication). Third-party systems are fully integrated into the higher-
level control strategies while retaining complete autonomy.
Integration into the automation level is an economical solution, and is used primarily for
control systems and open field-bus networks with up to 2000 data points.
The integration platform, PX-OPEN, is a fully valid stand-alone automation station for
the connection of third-party devices, systems and field-bus networks to the BACnet
automation bus. As a freely programmable BACnet controller, it processes the third-
party system data, maps it to BACnet and provides peer-to-peer communication with
other automation stations.
The bi-directional exchange of data for up to 2000 information points is event-driven,
i.e. the systems only exchange information if the data point changes.

Vendor-neutral protocols:
• LON
• Modbus
• EIB
• M-bus

39
The field level: I/O-OPEN
A small number of distributed third-party devices can be connected quickly and
economically at the field level and further processed in the automation system.
The devices are integrated either via digital/analog inputs and outputs, or with a
microprocessor-based interface module.
The microprocessor-based I/O modules (I/O-OPEN) connect selected third-party
devices via RS232 or RS485 to the distributed input/output field bus of the automation
station.
The I/O-OPEN module maps the third-party data points on the module bus (P-bus) to a
number of virtual standard modules. The automation station communicates with these
virtual modules as if they were actually present. Various types of I/O-OPEN modules
are used, depending on the communication protocol utilized by the field devices and
compact systems.

Manufacturer-specific protocols
• Pumps: GRUNDFOS, WILO
• Packaged air conditioning units: MENERGA
• Variable speed drives: SED2, VECTRON
• Market management: EUCON

DESIGO XWORKS and function blocks
Professional software tools and a wide range of proven function blocks are available for
engineering and processing the automation stations. The programming language,
D-MAP, is optimized for building services applications.

The DESIGO XWORKS

The DESIGO XWORKS incorporates the following components:
Tool Used for
XWORKS Manager Management of project data, selection and adaptation of
solutions, creation of system topology
PX Design Programming and commissioning
Router Design Commissioning of the BACnet routers

XWORKS Manager
XWORKS Manager includes project management functions such as the setting up and
archiving of projects and the storage and relocation of project data for the
commissioning phase.
It is also used to structure and specify plant and partial plant and define the network
topology.

PX Design
PX Design is the graphics-based programming and configuration tool for DESIGO PX.

The function blocks are the basic building blocks for individual solutions.

Router Design
Router Design is used to configure the BACnet routers in the system.

41
Programming with D-MAP
The D-MAP programming language (= DESIGO Modular Application Programming) for
DESIGO PX ensures efficient programming and parameter setting for building services
plant. The programming language, D-MAP, is optimized for building services
applications. The control strategies required for and best suited to efficient operation
are implemented using graphics-based data flow programming.

Efficient engineering with blocks and compounds

The project-specific HVAC applications are configured, programmed, commissioned
and maintained using the CFC Editor in PX Design. The CFC Editor is a graphics editor
based on blocks and data flow techniques. Predefined and tested application programs
are assembled to create compound structures (referred to simply as “compounds”), and
these are then made available in the libraries.

Creating the CFC chart with the CFC Editor

Features of D-MAP programming:

• The elements of D-MAP programming are blocks and "compounds" (compound
functional units). These are stored in libraries.
• To create a D-MAP program, the blocks and compounds which provide the required
functions are combined in the CFC Editor. This process involves creating instances
(of blocks) or copies (of compounds) from the libraries.
• The flow of data between blocks is programmed by interconnecting the "pins"
(inputs and outputs) of various blocks.

Libraries
PX Design incorporates comprehensive libraries in which the functions, function blocks
and compounds are stored. The libraries contain images of actual plant, aggregates
and components in a structure which can be used equally for design engineering,
control, operation and monitoring and display.
