The <strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>system</strong> topology<br />
The <strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>system</strong> can be divided into two levels:<br />
• Management level<br />
• Automation level<br />
The <strong>automation</strong> level forms the interface to the field level and includes room<br />
<strong>automation</strong> as well. By virtue of distributed intelligence, each of these levels<br />
operates both autonomously and in a network.<br />
Primary <strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>system</strong> components:<br />
• <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT management station for<br />
higher-level operation and monitoring,<br />
graphics-based display of the process,<br />
automatic alarm distribution and a wide<br />
range of different data analysis options using<br />
standardized protocols.<br />
• <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX <strong>automation</strong> <strong>system</strong> for control<br />
and for operation and monitoring of primary<br />
plants. By use of PX-WEB, the <strong>automation</strong><br />
<strong>system</strong> can be operated via a Web client.<br />
• <strong>DESIGO</strong> TX-I/O modules, which provide the<br />
interface to the devices at the field level, the<br />
sensors and actuators.<br />
• <strong>DESIGO</strong> RX room <strong>automation</strong> <strong>system</strong> for<br />
control of comfort conditions in individual<br />
rooms, and for operation of lighting and<br />
blinds.<br />
• <strong>DESIGO</strong> OPEN for the integration of a<br />
wide variety of plants and protocols at all<br />
levels of the <strong>system</strong>.<br />
• <strong>DESIGO</strong> S7 expands the <strong>DESIGO</strong> product<br />
portfolio using SIMATIC S7 <strong>automation</strong><br />
stations for industrial and infrastructurerelated<br />
applications through the consistent<br />
use of BACnet/IP communications<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>system</strong> topology<br />
One of the key benefits of <strong>DESIGO</strong> is its scope for gradual expansion, from the<br />
smallest <strong>system</strong>s to large, geographically distributed <strong>system</strong>s. Scalability is<br />
illustrated using example topologies in the appendix.<br />

System functions<br />
Operators of the <strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong> have a versatile<br />
range of equipment at their disposal, offering convenient access to the <strong>system</strong> and<br />
the plant.<br />
Operation and monitoring<br />
Operator station<br />
• The <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT management station is a powerful and user-friendly<br />
interface for monitoring of the overall <strong>system</strong>. Access and alarm management<br />
can be modified to the operator’s supervisory chain. For example, alarms can<br />
be separated based on the user. <strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB and <strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Service<br />
allows access to the management level using Web technology.<br />

Trend/History<br />
Fully integrated trend data processing allows effortless evaluation and analysis of<br />
real-time (online) data and (offline) historical data. The trend feature facilitates the<br />
monitoring and fine-tuning of the plant. In the <strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>system</strong> this feature is<br />
implemented in the form of trend log objects, in compliance with BACnet standard.<br />
Trend logging options:<br />
• Continuous logging<br />
• Single run<br />
• Logging over a specified period<br />
Sampling options:<br />
• Polling<br />
• COV polling (Change of Value)<br />
• Event-driven polling<br />
Trend graphs can be displayed both on the PXM20 operator unit and on the<br />
management station. The management station also allows displays in color and in<br />
2D or 3D.<br />
Trend Viewer on the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT management station and on the PXM20 operator unit<br />
Online trend features:<br />
• Real-time display of process data<br />
• Based on changes in the value of a<br />
data point (COVs) or on periodic<br />
sampling by Trend Viewer (times can<br />
be configured)<br />
Offline trend features:<br />
• Offline data display – no permanent connection<br />
required<br />
• Longer periods of time (days,months)<br />
• Data acquisition in the <strong>automation</strong> <strong>system</strong><br />
• The data is uploaded to the management level at<br />
regular intervals or as needed<br />
Alarm management<br />
One of the most important functions of a <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong><br />
are the automatic alarms for faults in the <strong>building</strong> services plants. The management<br />
of alarms (generation, display and handling) must be simple, efficient and<br />
consistent at all levels of the <strong>system</strong>. <strong>DESIGO</strong> uses the BACnet alarm functions,<br />
and supports the following three types of alarms with up to 256 alarm priority<br />
levels:<br />
• Basic alarm (for alarms not requiring user interaction)<br />
• Simple alarms (for alarms requiring acknowledgment)<br />
• Extended Alarms (alarms requiring acknowledgement and reset)<br />
Alarm messages<br />
When an alarm occurs, it is automatically detected, registered and transferred to<br />
operator units such as PXM20 or PX-WEB, or to the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT<br />
management station. Informative alarm messages are also transmitted to remote<br />
8 / 64<br />
Siemens <strong>DESIGO</strong> Building <strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong> CM110660en_03<br />
Building Technologies<br />
System description
devices such as mobile phones, fax machines, printers or PCs and Web browsers,<br />
via SMS and e-mail. <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT further separates alarms in a customized<br />
manner so that each user receives only those alarms corresponding to the area of<br />
responsibility.<br />
Alarm lists provide a view of all pending and time-stamped alarms at a glance, and<br />
permit straightforward processing. Operators are alerted to incoming and pending<br />
alarms with pop-up windows and audible and visual signals.<br />
Alarm routing<br />
Alarms are transferred on the basis of time, priority and/or plant type, using a truly<br />
powerful alarm routing <strong>system</strong> at the management station. This ensures the<br />
uninterrupted routing of alarms, irrespective of whether or not there is an operator<br />
sitting at the management station. Users are supported in their work by various<br />
overview options which help ensure a fast and correct response even in critical<br />
alarm situations.<br />

Scheduler/Calendar<br />
One of the basic functions of a <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong> is time<br />
control of procedures and processes and ensuring energy efficient operation.<br />
Scheduler programs ensure that the heating and lighting are switched off<br />
automatically at the end of the workday, that the temperature in the <strong>building</strong> is<br />
reduced at night, and that the plant is not kept running for longer than necessary.<br />
They can also be used to switch off the air conditioning in certain rooms during<br />
holidays.<br />
Saving energy /<br />
increasing the service<br />
life of plant<br />
The ideal scheduler programs help save energy and increase the service life of the<br />
plant. This is another area where <strong>DESIGO</strong> excels with its straightforward and<br />
exceptionally user-friendly operation.<br />
Time-switching operations in the <strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong><br />
are implemented per the BACnet standard, using the BACnet objects "Schedule"<br />
and "Calendar". The function allows for flexible operation of the <strong>building</strong>. From<br />
simple 7-day schedules to recurring exceptions, these powerful functions make<br />
programming easy.<br />

By use of standard BACnet functions, the BACnet scheduler programs can be<br />
operated <strong>system</strong>-wide from the user-friendly operator units PXM20 and PX-WEB<br />
and from the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT management station.<br />
Scheduler program on the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT management station and on the PXM20 operator unit<br />
For safety reasons, schedules and calendars are stored in the <strong>automation</strong> station,<br />
so that in the event of a network or PC failure, the <strong>automation</strong> level can continue to<br />
operate autonomously.<br />
Access rights<br />
Access rights can be used to filter information from the plant and <strong>system</strong> based on<br />
the individual requirements of a user. The resident engineer or the service<br />
engineers, for example, only have access to this important information. A distinction<br />
can also be made between read access and write access. Certain users may be<br />
able to read a value but not modify it, while other users may have extended access<br />
rights, enabling them both to read and to modify values (edit).<br />
Freely-definable access<br />
rights<br />
Only authorized personnel are granted access to the <strong>system</strong> via the operator units.<br />
When a user enters a user name and password, the <strong>system</strong> verifies the associated<br />
access rights and enables access to the relevant plant. Read and write access<br />
rights can be defined in detail, right down to individual information points.<br />
The following access classes are supported in the <strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>system</strong>:<br />
• Internal<br />
• Extended service<br />
• Basic service<br />
• Administration<br />
• Extended operation<br />
• Standard operation<br />
• Basic operation<br />
Information flow under<br />
control<br />
Moreover, the Scopes function allows you to freely adapt the amount of information<br />
on the management station to meet the needs and competencies of individual<br />
users with regard to <strong>building</strong> area. Customizing the environment to each user<br />
ensures clear areas of responsibility, so simplifying cooperation between the<br />
various user groups.<br />

BACnet certification<br />
Connection of legacy<br />
<strong>system</strong>s<br />
Compliant devices can be interconnected at low cost using the BACnet (Building<br />
Automation and Control network) open communications protocol. The worldwide<br />
BACnet standard was developed specifically for the needs of <strong>building</strong> services,<br />
under the auspices of ASHRAE (the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating<br />
and Air-Conditioning Engineers). BACnet networks provide all subscribers with<br />
access to all the data and functions of the connected devices.<br />
For the exchange of information among its own <strong>system</strong> components, <strong>DESIGO</strong> uses<br />
three standard protocols, recognized worldwide: BACnet, LONWORKS and Konnex<br />
(KNX) S-mode (EIB). The BACnet communication protocol is used for the<br />
exchange of information between one <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX <strong>automation</strong> station and another,<br />
and between <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX and PXM20 BACnet operator units and <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT.<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong>/IP uses LonTalk or PTP (point-to-point, modem or null-modem) as the<br />
transport medium. At the room <strong>automation</strong>, <strong>DESIGO</strong> RX communicates per<br />
LONWORKS standard or KNX S-mode (EIB).<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Server and <strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB make optimum use of the advantages<br />
of modern IT technology for the benefit of <strong>building</strong> services. Properly selected and<br />
used, they have a significant influence on the ability to fine-tune the running of the<br />
<strong>building</strong> and on the comfort and satisfaction of <strong>building</strong> users. This reduces<br />
maintenance and upkeep costs.<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Server provides all the functions of the management <strong>system</strong> in<br />
the form of terminal services over the network. These services can be accessed<br />
simultaneously by different users in independent sessions. In addition to operation<br />
and monitoring programs for the day-to-day operation of the plant, engineering<br />
tools are also provided, allowing modification and expansion of the <strong>system</strong> while it<br />
is running. This makes the <strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Server the optimum solution for<br />
professional <strong>building</strong> operators who need unrestricted access to <strong>building</strong> data via<br />
their intranet or extranet, from any location.<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB is a genuine Web solution based on Microsoft IIS (Internet<br />
Information Server). The programs for operation of the management <strong>system</strong> are<br />
mapped to ASPs (Active Server Pages) in special interfaces optimized for Microsoft<br />
Internet Explorer.<br />
All <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX BACnet servers were submitted to the BACnet Interest Group<br />
Europe (BIG-EU) for compliance testing on the BACnet standard DIN EN ISO<br />
16484-5 and successfully certified. A well-known testing institution conduced the<br />
comprehensive testing.<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> PX devices comply with the B-BC profile (BACnet Building Controller) and<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT largely comply with the B-OWS profile (BACnet Operator<br />
The management and <strong>automation</strong> stations are all implemented as full BACnet nodes.<br />
BACnet is integrated directly without the need for any special conversion of data.<br />
Workstation).<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> is compatible with the legacy <strong>automation</strong> <strong>system</strong>s UNIGYR, VISONIK,<br />
INTEGRAL and SIMATIC S7 and allows their seamless integration. Changes in<br />
use, <strong>system</strong> expansion and retrofit projects can all be handled in gradual stages.<br />

Plant Viewer<br />
Plant Viewer displays the areas of a <strong>building</strong> and the associated plants in graphical<br />
form. The user works interactively with these views to monitor and control the data<br />
points throughout the <strong>building</strong>. Values can be modified and alarms can be<br />
acknowledged by clicking on the corresponding concerned.<br />
Process display<br />
The Plant Viewer is based on SCADA technology.<br />
Numerous windows of different sizes can be displayed simultaneously (overlapping<br />
or tiled). Even large graphics, such as floor plans etc. can be accommodated, and<br />
the freely definable page size makes them easy to view.<br />
Process display<br />
Real-time display<br />
Measured values, setpoints, operating modes and alarms are displayed on the<br />
screen in real-time, and updated continuously. The display form is determined<br />
during engineering. Changes are indicated either by the object symbol, e.g.<br />
through animation or a change in shape or color, or by the movement of, or a<br />
change in the color, shape, or text of the values affected.<br />

helpful information as to the type of action required by the <strong>system</strong>. With its<br />
extensive filter and search functions, Alarm Viewer facilitates fast and well-targeted<br />
access to the required information.<br />
In larger <strong>system</strong>s with more than one management station, all management<br />
stations access the same alarm database. An alarm for any given management<br />
station is entered in this database and automatically displayed on all other<br />
management stations.<br />
Functions in Alarm Viewer:<br />
• View, acknowledge and reset single or<br />
multiple alarms.<br />
• Display the associated alarm property<br />
sheet with detailed data point<br />
information.<br />
• Read associated alarm help text with operating<br />
instructions or additional information in text<br />

such as Plant Viewer and Log Viewer.<br />
Alarm Viewer<br />
Pop-up windows<br />
The pop-up window is an important means of attracting the attention of the user in<br />
the event of an alarm. Incoming alarms are displayed in a pop-up window that<br />
opens on the Windows desktop and appears in the foreground of all other<br />
applications-including third-party applications.<br />
If several alarms occur, they are displayed one after the other. An audio file (.wav)<br />
can be added to each alarm window defined to further alert the user to the alarm<br />
with an audible signal.<br />
The appearance of the pop-up window can be varied for each alarm category.<br />
From this window, the user can invoke helpful instructions about the required<br />
response to the alarm, or jump directly to other applications such as Plant Viewer<br />
or Alarm Viewer.<br />

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

database and can be viewed whenever required.<br />
Event Handler<br />
The data logging <strong>system</strong> is a background service performed by the Event Handler<br />
in <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT, which continuously logs reported events as follows:<br />
Events in Log Viewer:<br />
• Alarm events from the process level, such as<br />
plant alarms and high priority warnings. The<br />
alarm is logged when it occurs, and thereafter<br />
upon acknowledgment, reset and return to<br />
normal.<br />
• System events from <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT<br />
management stations and PX <strong>automation</strong><br />
stations. Examples include communication<br />
failures, selection procedures, start-up, shutdown,<br />
hard-disk monitoring, battery checks etc.<br />
• User events for reporting user activities<br />
on the management station. These<br />
include authorized and unauthorized user<br />
log-in procedures and the modification of<br />
values, parameters and setpoints etc.<br />
• Status events from the process level,<br />
such as plant ON/OFF etc.<br />
The user interface of Log Viewer has the same look and feel as the Alarm Viewer<br />

Log and trend data<br />
archiving<br />
The archiving function serves to remove data from the runtime databases. This is<br />
necessary to first create space for new data in cases where storage capacity is<br />
normally limited, and second, to store the data in a suitable form for retrieval at a<br />
later date. The removed data is archived in a safe location for later retrieval and<br />
display if required. Data is archived in <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT automatically on the<br />
basis of time or quantity of data accumulated, or manually by the user.<br />
Report Viewer<br />
The Report Viewer allows the user to select existing report templates to manually<br />
start momentary value data acquisition. A report is then generated with the values for<br />
the plant data defined in the template at the time the data is recorded (snapshot<br />
function).<br />
Pre-selected reports can even be automatically executed together with the<br />
Reaction Processor.<br />
The reports displayed on-screen can be printed or stored as PDFs for<br />
documentation purposes. An export to CSV file format allows for additional<br />
evaluation of recorded data values in other programs (Microsoft Excel, Microsoft<br />
Access)<br />
Filters<br />
Filter criteria for searches may be entered to display only the data the user desires<br />
in the reports (address masks wildcards, by plant, data point type, time, date, etc.).<br />
Standard report templates<br />
The following standard report templates available with <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT:<br />
• Reports to record alarm and fault states (active, unconfirmed, etc.)<br />
• Reports to record logbook entries (alarm, <strong>system</strong> and user events)<br />
• Reports to record plant states (manual override, maintenance requirement, room<br />
measured values, actual values, setpoint settings, etc.)<br />
Customized report templates<br />
The Report Builder tool creates customized templates for customers requiring their<br />
own template reports. The report function with standard report templates is<br />
included as part of the basic license; the Report Builder, however, requires a<br />
separate license.<br />

Create and query reports via Web<br />
With the appropriate access rights, a <strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB client PC user may select<br />
existing report templates on the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT computer via the Web Report<br />
Viewer and start momentary value recording. The generated report is displayed in<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB and can be saved or printed as a PDF file and downloaded from the<br />
Web Server to the client computer.<br />
Reaction Processor<br />
The Reaction Processor is an event program capable of <strong>system</strong>-wide monitoring of<br />
plants and processes for the occurance of certain criteria (events) such as time,<br />
date, changes of values or exceeding limit values. The Reaction Process triggers<br />
preconfigured (re) actions when one (or a combination) of the criteria are met. The<br />
user can define the entries in the Reaction Processor.<br />
Global time scheduler with calendar function<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT has a global time scheduler with calendar functions on the<br />
<strong>system</strong> management level to execute reactions at predefined times of the day (time<br />
schedule) or on certain days (calendar / date). You can even control plants and<br />
devices on the <strong>automation</strong> level accordingly without time and calendar functions!<br />
Primary application for the Reaction Processor<br />
• Reaction Processor automates a user's routine work.<br />
• The Reaction Processor includes a global scheduler / calendar program at the<br />
management level for plants integrated at the <strong>automation</strong> level without a<br />
timeswitch.<br />
• Automated control and switching of plants based on events occurring and<br />
monitored during operation.<br />
• Automated start up and routing of reports.<br />
<br />
Operation and monitoring with Web technology<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB and <strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Server make optimum use of the advantages<br />
of modern IT technology for the benefit of <strong>building</strong> services. Properly selected and<br />
used, they have a significant influence on the ability to fine-tune the running of the<br />
<strong>building</strong> and on the comfort and satisfaction of <strong>building</strong> users.<br />
They distribute <strong>building</strong> information to the person who needs it, and in the exact<br />
location where it is needed. In addition to flexibility of operation, both solutions<br />
contribute substantially to a reduction in the day-to-day costs of modifications,<br />
expansion, maintenance and data backup.<br />
Both solutions are based on software standards and are therefore compatible with<br />
today's IT security strategies (firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPN) etc.).<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Server<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Server provides all the functions of the management <strong>system</strong> in<br />
the form of terminal services over the network. These services can be accessed<br />
simultaneously by different users in independent sessions. In addition to the<br />

Building Technologies<br />
System description
operation and monitoring programs for day-to-day operation of the plant,<br />
engineering tools are also provided, allowing modification and expansion of the<br />
<strong>system</strong> while it is running.<br />
This makes the <strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Server the optimum solution for professional property<br />
managers who need unrestricted access to <strong>building</strong> data via their intranet or extranet,<br />
from any location. All the user requires is a simple, standard network-compatible<br />
terminal device such as a PC, Net PC or Web pad with a Microsoft operating <strong>system</strong>,<br />
without other installed software components (Thin Client).<br />
Safety is a top priority: Remote access from client devices is via Microsoft Remote<br />
Desktop Web Connection with the highly encrypted Remote Desktop Protocol<br />
(RDP) 5.0 which uses RSA Security's RC4 cipher with the option of 40, 56 or 128-<br />
bit encryption.<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> Terminal Server is based on the Windows Server operating <strong>system</strong> with<br />
the Terminal Server component, and runs on standard server hardware. The<br />
hardware and software specification depends on how intensively it is used, with the<br />
number of users requiring simultaneous access being a decisive factor.<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB is a genuine Web solution based on Microsoft IIS (Internet<br />
Information Server). The programs for operation of the management <strong>system</strong> are<br />
mapped to ASPs (Active Server Pages) in special interfaces optimized for Microsoft<br />
Internet Explorer.<br />
Functions in <strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB:<br />
• Operation of graphics (Plant Viewer)<br />
• Operation of data points (Object Viewer)<br />
• Alarms and log (Alarm Viewer, Log Viewer)<br />
• Trend data (Trend Viewer)<br />
• Time schedules (Scheduler)<br />
• Report Viewer<br />
This makes <strong>DESIGO</strong> WEB the optimum solution for those responsible for technical<br />
services (such as the house engineer, <strong>building</strong> operator or security staff) who track<br />
the day-to-day operation of the <strong>building</strong> and need easy access to all the key<br />
functions. In addition, it makes new options available, enabling selected <strong>building</strong><br />
data and user access to be allocated relevantly to tenants and users of the <strong>building</strong><br />
(e.g. room operation, time schedules and display of room conditions).<br />

The <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX <strong>automation</strong> level<br />
The most striking features of <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX are the consistent openness of the <strong>system</strong><br />
and the scalability of the <strong>system</strong> with its freely programmable <strong>automation</strong> stations and<br />
operator units. <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX reliably meets all expectations associated with the control<br />
and monitoring of <strong>building</strong> services.<br />
With its modular <strong>system</strong> design, <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX can be ideally adapted to specific<br />
requirements and needs, making cost-effective DDC technology a possibility even in<br />
smaller HVAC <strong>system</strong>s. Whether for new <strong>building</strong>s or modernization projects,<br />
investment costs are limited to the <strong>system</strong> components that are actually needed. This<br />
innovative <strong>system</strong> strategy allows phased expansion of <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX into a <strong>building</strong><br />
<strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong> as and when required.<br />
A range of graded operator units<br />
Room users and <strong>building</strong> operators benefit from a comprehensive range of<br />
operator units which can be used for targeted modification of room conditions or of<br />
the whole plant.<br />
Operator units<br />
The touch panel ensures convenient operation and display of complex <strong>building</strong><br />
services plant.<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> touch panel operation<br />
• Maximum flexibility, and optimum assistance for<br />
users of the technology.<br />
• Easy to add new operator controls and<br />
functions.<br />
• Versatile guidance of users in the event<br />
of alarms.<br />
The right operator unit in the right place:<br />
• Monitor and operate via PX-WEB: In the event of<br />
faults in the plant, <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX transmits SMS<br />
messages and allows remote diagnostics via<br />
Web client.<br />
• For the house engineer: With optimized operator<br />
units, it is easy to check the functioning of the<br />
<strong>building</strong> services plant or to take account of<br />
changes in occupancy by modifying the<br />
comprehensive time schedules.<br />
• For <strong>building</strong> users: Room units optimized<br />
for <strong>building</strong> occupants can be used for<br />
simple and direct local operation of the<br />
plant. So, for example, the room<br />
temperature in a meeting room can be<br />
adapted to individual requirements,<br />
simply and without fuss.<br />

<strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT OPEN<br />
SCADA technology<br />
INSIGHT OPEN is a modern integration platform for direct connection to the<br />
management level which uses vendor-neutral visualization <strong>system</strong>s based on<br />
SCADA technology. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) <strong>system</strong>s<br />
are software products from the field of industrial <strong>automation</strong>, and can be used to<br />
connect various <strong>automation</strong> <strong>system</strong>s using a variety of device drivers.<br />
SCADA technology is ideal for connecting stand-alone third-party <strong>system</strong>s or open<br />
<strong>automation</strong> and field buses, where the emphasis is on operation and monitoring<br />
and reliable cross-disciplinary interconnection is not required. Vertical connections<br />
are implemented with communication cards or <strong>system</strong>-specific interfaces plugged<br />
directly into a management <strong>system</strong> PC. INSIGHT OPEN makes use of the<br />
technological potential of Citect, a leading SCADA <strong>system</strong> supplied by<br />
CiTechnologies Pty. Ltd., Australia.<br />
INSIGHT OPEN is an adjunct to the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT management station and<br />
provides the following functions for the integrated third-party <strong>system</strong> or device:<br />
Functions in INSIGHT OPEN<br />
• Graphical operation of the plant and the<br />
process.<br />
• Alarm display and operation.<br />
• Dynamic trend curves and long-term data<br />
storage.<br />
• Topological data point operation in Object<br />
Viewer.<br />
• Log book and message archiving.<br />
• Alarm routing to message receivers.<br />
• Access protection.<br />
INSIGHT OPEN runs on Windows XP or Windows Vista on networks.<br />
INSIGHT OPEN provides an OPC client (OLE for process control) for the<br />
connection of third-party <strong>system</strong>s. This supports the specifications of Data Access<br />
Version 1.0a and Version 2.0.<br />
As a consequence, INSIGHT OPEN is an integral component of the process<br />
control <strong>system</strong> and subject to the same high expectations in respect of reliability<br />
and minimum downtime.<br />
The process values transferred from third-party <strong>system</strong>s to the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT<br />
management station are mapped as SCADA process variables, or "variable tags".<br />
Special tags are used for alarm and trend variables:<br />
• Alarm tag, alarm process variable.<br />
• Trend tag, trend process variable.<br />
Unlike the data points in the <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong>, the process<br />
variables (tags) each contain one item of information only. Alarms and trend logs<br />
are SCADA objects which are generated by and calculated in the I/O server.<br />
Vendor-neutral protocols<br />
• BACnet.<br />
• LONWORKS.<br />
• KNX S-mode (EIB).<br />
Vendor-specific protocols, e.g.<br />
• SIPORT NT (access control).<br />
• AlgoRex (fire detection <strong>system</strong>).<br />

<strong>DESIGO</strong> SX OPEN<br />
SX OPEN is an innovative integration platform used to connect OPC-based thirdparty<br />
<strong>system</strong>s to an open BACnet network. <strong>DESIGO</strong> SX OPEN forms a powerful<br />
bridge between OPC, and BACnet by replicating an OPC client in OPC, and a<br />
BACnet server on BACnet.<br />
The functions extend far beyond the simple mapping and transfer of OPC items to<br />
BACnet. For example, the freely programmable level of SX OPEN, at which<br />
functions can be interconnected, allows the following:<br />
• Direct mapping of OPC items to BACnet objects, for display and operation by<br />
BACnet clients.<br />
• Grouping of OPC items to create standard integrated BACnet objects.<br />
• Event-driven transfer of alarms in the BACnet network.<br />
• Trend server with its own data maintenance for trendlog objects.<br />
• Peer-to-peer communication with other BACnet servers.<br />
SX OPEN is especially suitable for the integration of OPC-based third-party<br />
<strong>system</strong>s where there is a need to interconnect functions locally (peer-to-peer<br />
communication).<br />
It fully compensates for the disadvantages of simple SCADA technology.<br />
The modular software package can be run on standard PC <strong>system</strong>s with Windows<br />
operating <strong>system</strong>s. Industrial control-panel PCs with no rotating parts (e.g.<br />
Siemens micro box) offer reliability, easy maintenance and minimal down time.<br />
Features<br />
• BACnet server to ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004<br />
with BACnet/IP.<br />
• Supported data objects: Analog Input and<br />
Output, Binary Input and Output, Analog and<br />
Binary Value, Multistate Input, Output and<br />
Value, Device, Notification Class.<br />
• Read and write access in accordance with<br />
BACnet rules of priority.<br />
• OPC Client Data Access 2.05a.<br />
Vendor-neutral protocols<br />
• OPC server with data access for:<br />
– LONWORKS<br />
– KNX S-mode (EIB)<br />
– M-bus<br />
– Modbus<br />
– PROFIBUS<br />
Vendor-specific protocols, e.g.<br />
• OPC server with data access for third-party<br />

The communications processor CP 343-1 BACnet for the SIMATIC S7 300<br />
<strong>automation</strong> station allows a cross-electrical and mechanical installation for <strong>building</strong><br />
<strong>automation</strong> and control as well as process <strong>automation</strong>.<br />
For example, you can use SIMATIC S7 <strong>automation</strong> stations and <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX<br />
<strong>automation</strong> stations at the same time in plants and <strong>building</strong>s. The communications<br />
processor communicates with <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT via BACnet/IP. It can also directly<br />
exchange data peer-to-peer between <strong>DESIGO</strong> PX and SIMATIC S7.<br />
The field level - SIMATIC ET 200 S<br />
In conjunction with SIMATIC S7, digital and analog inputs and outputs can be<br />
linked to the central control <strong>system</strong> via the PROFINET or PROFIBUS DP field bus<br />
<strong>system</strong>.<br />
The peripheral devices can perform central control sub-functions independently.<br />
Sections of the plant can be tested and commissioned in advance. In the event of<br />
an error, standalone elements can continue to operate autonomously .<br />
The distributed peripheral devices in the SIMATIC range come in different sizes,<br />
with different forms and protection classes, and optionally, even with a freely<br />
programmable CPU. ET 200S is particularly suitable for <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> and<br />
control tasks.<br />
Bottom line: Less wiring is required, and the plant is significantly more flexible and<br />
reliable.<br />
The extensive range of modules and the uniform approach, throughout the <strong>system</strong>,<br />
to engineering, mounting and programming mean that ET 200S can be used as a<br />
universal peripheral device <strong>system</strong>. The peripheral-device modules can be<br />
combined as required.<br />
Local operation and monitoring<br />
The SIMATIC TP177B touch panel operator unit is used for local operation and<br />
monitoring of the SIMATIC S7 <strong>automation</strong> stations. It provides access to all data<br />
points and the associated parameters (e.g. messages and switch commands) in all<br />
plants. Normally the unit is built into the control panel door.<br />
The SIMATIC TP177B operator unit enables the user to locate faults, operate and<br />
optimize the operation of plant and equipment such as heating coils and fans, and<br />
modify switch times.<br />

Energy management<br />
Software package for energy efficient <strong>building</strong><br />
operation<br />
Facilities management today places prime emphasis on user comfort and the<br />
minimization of operating costs. To meet demands in both these areas<br />
satisfactorily, additional analysis software packages are required, which build upon<br />
the existing <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong>.<br />
For efficient and economical facilities management, we offer our the right solutions:<br />
CC (Consumption Control) for energy management and ADP (Advanced Data<br />
Processing) for financial management of the plant. Our applications will fit<br />
seamlessly into your <strong>system</strong> topology and assist you in the running of your<br />
<strong>building</strong>(s) in an energy efficient manner.<br />
Supplementing these two packages, EMC (Energy Monitoring and Controlling), an<br />
innovative Web-based software solution, is also available.<br />
Technical plant control – ADP<br />
The ADP software application analyses the plant data from your <strong>building</strong><br />
(measured values, control variables, messages etc.) and collates this data to<br />
produce meaningful reports. Any relevant data point from the <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong><br />
and control <strong>system</strong> can be logged for analysis purposes. Based on this data,<br />
further measures for optimization of the plant can be undertaken and monitored.<br />
Analysis of plant data from the <strong>building</strong>:<br />
• Analysis of ambient conditions.<br />
• Identification of scope for optimization.<br />
• Analysis of processes within the <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> and control <strong>system</strong>.<br />
• Verification of the <strong>building</strong> <strong>automation</strong> process.<br />
Plant data report<br />
Example: Identify<br />
optimization potential<br />
A number of quite simple optimization measures can be undertaken, with a consequent<br />
reduction in costs, provided that the potential for optimization is recognized. For<br />
example, if ADP is used to check the load patterns of particular groups of energy<br />
consumers over a certain period of time, it will become very clear where savings could<br />
be made through re-organization.<br />

Pharma Solution<br />
Integrated regulatory compliance for<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT<br />
The <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT Pharma Solution meets the heightened requirements found<br />
within the tightly regulated Life Science Industry.<br />
The application offers advance technical solutions for customers with high<br />
requirements for IT integration, availability and long-term data security.<br />
Pharma Solution Benefits and Features<br />
• An audit trail at the database level for GxP<br />
critical data prevents unauthorized attempts<br />
to make changes to data in the audit trail,<br />
log, trend and <strong>system</strong> databases.<br />
• The Viewer application is used to search for<br />
data within the audit trail, to create reports<br />
from the data or backup archive files.<br />
• During a disaster, the hourly backup copies<br />
of all database transaction logs and daily<br />
comprehensive database backups<br />
significantly reduces the potential for data<br />
loss.<br />
• User actions must be justified with a reason<br />
(or comment), before the action is carried out.<br />
• A complex MD5 checksum for each archived<br />
file ensure the integrity of all archived data.<br />
The option to secure the readability of<br />
archived files throughout the entire data lock<br />
out period is guaranteed through the use of<br />
XML as a storage format.<br />
• User administration is simplified through the<br />
use of integrated Windows confirmation<br />
(linking the Windows user to the <strong>DESIGO</strong><br />
INSIGHT user).<br />

Database Audit Viewer<br />
The Audit Viewer application data makes it possible to scan, search or filter the<br />
audit trail database or any other XML archive file (produced by an existing Pharma<br />
Solution. The application can also be used to generate printable audit reports. The<br />
MD5 checksum is verified when view the archived data and the reports are<br />
included in the report.<br />

Database Audit Viewer<br />
Planned audit trail reports<br />
Standard report templates are available allowing the user to created ad hoc of<br />
planned reports based on the audit trail of <strong>system</strong> activity (log) data in PDF<br />
format, for example. Reports may also be generated from the archived data.<br />
Mandatory comments for user actions<br />
For projects in a critical environment, the user must enter a comment (reason) for<br />
each change made on the management station, before the change is executed.<br />
Multiple comments are possible for the same actions (or log entry), and comments<br />
can no longer be changed once they are entered.<br />
Archived data integrity using checksum verification<br />
The <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT archive server generates a complex MD5 checksum for<br />
each produced archive file. All viewers that want to display the data from archives<br />
are asked to verify the checksum as soon as the archive files are opened. The<br />
verification results are displayed to the user.<br />
All GxP critical data from the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT log, trend and audit trail<br />
databases can either be archived in non-proprietary readable XML format or<br />
secured using the MD5 checksum. The data archived in XML format can than be<br />
viewed as a standard in <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT applications such as the Trend Viewer,<br />
Log Viewer or Database Audit Trail Viewer.<br />

InfoCenter<br />
InfoCenter prepares documented evidence of room conditions for the Life Science<br />
Industry and retains this information over decades.<br />
GxP compliant monitoring and reporting<br />
The InfoCenter integrated report manager allows users to generate individual<br />
report templates quickly and simply. In addition to data from the subordinate<br />
<strong>automation</strong> <strong>system</strong>, statistical analyses, <strong>system</strong> messages and deviations from<br />
limits can be displayed in graphs and tables. A detailed "Out of Specification<br />
Report" can be created at the touch of a button, a report which reflects only the<br />
deviations from the specified limits. The extensive calculating features ensure that<br />
even complex calculations can be performed, ranging from averaging to calculating<br />
the mean kinetic temperature (MKT).<br />
The reports created by InfoCenter can be signed with an electronic authentication,<br />
which makes them a fully valid substitute for conventional paper documents.<br />
Protected Web access to the InfoCenter server ensures that individual users obtain<br />
the exact information that they need. Reports can be launched remotely and, for<br />
example, analyzed by the audit-trail software.<br />
Data security<br />
InfoCenter was designed specifically for large volumes of data, and is based on the<br />
strength and flexibility of the Microsoft SQL Server. Access to the data is protected<br />
by a wide range of security measures, and all changes are reliably recorded in the<br />
integrated Audit Trail software.<br />
Reliable data archival<br />
Sensitive data and reports are archived in InfoCenter automatically, safely and<br />
reliably. The retrieval of archives, e.g. for inspection purposes, is also automatic.<br />
The <strong>system</strong> independently recognizes periods distributed over several archiving<br />
disks in this process.<br />

System design for small to medium-sized <strong>building</strong>s<br />
A number of PX <strong>automation</strong> stations and RXC room controllers can be<br />
interconnected via BACnet/LonTalk or BACnet/IP and, depending on the size of the<br />
<strong>system</strong>, monitored and operated with one or more network-compatible PXM20<br />
operator units. The RXB or RXL room controller ranges can be used as an<br />
alternative to the RXC range. Local operation of an <strong>automation</strong> station is also<br />
possible, with the easy-to-use PXM10 operator unit. For remote operation, the<br />
<strong>system</strong> can be extended to include Web operation with PX-WEB. With the Web<br />
operating software, <strong>building</strong> operators have access to all the functions of the<br />
PXM20 from anywhere and at any time. In the event of a fault, alarms can be<br />
transmitted via SMS or e-mail for added reliability.<br />

<strong>building</strong> complexes<br />
The <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT management station lets you get the most out of your plant.<br />
The plant is operated using highly informative, animated graphics. Optimum<br />
<strong>building</strong> operation is ensured by use of scheduler programs that can be operated<br />
centrally, a clear alarm handling <strong>system</strong> and a wide range of other options. The<br />
<strong>DESIGO</strong> <strong>system</strong> can be embedded in existing IT Ethernet/LAN infrastructures.<br />
Remote plant can be monitored and operated by telephone. In the event of a fault,<br />
the <strong>automation</strong> stations establish a connection with the higher-level <strong>system</strong><br />
components or display units to alert the user to the problem. At the <strong>DESIGO</strong><br />
INSIGHT management station, the user can navigate to the associated graphics.<br />
In the case of PX-WEB the alarm is forwarded by SMS or e-mail. For remote<br />
access, connections can be established not only by modem, but also via<br />
Ethernet/LAN. For this purpose the <strong>DESIGO</strong> INSIGHT management station and<br />
PX-WEB can be connected to any point on the LAN in the <strong>building</strong>.<br />
