DESIGO building automation system

The management level - DESIGO INSIGHT
Applications in DESIGO INSIGHT
The clearly structured, modular, object-oriented software of the DESIGO INSIGHT
management station is based on the latest standard Windows 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 introduced below:
• Plant Viewer: Realistic plant graphics allowing fast,
targeted monitoring and operation of the system.
• Time Scheduler: Central programming of all timecontrolled
building services functions.
• Alarm Viewer: Detailed overview of alarms to quickly
localize and eliminate errors.
• Alarm Router: Flexible routing of alarms to printers, fax
machines, mobile phones and e-mail.
• Trend Viewer: Comfortable analysis of trend data to
optimize operations and increase energy efficiency.
• Report Viewer: Snapshot queries to meet customers’
needs and their display in reports. Reports provide
information on plant operation analysis as well as
evaluation and documentation purposes.
• Object Viewer: An efficient tool for navigation through the
hierarchical tree-structure to all the data points in the
system. These points can then be read or manipulated,
depending on the access rights of the user concerned.
• Log Viewer: Alarms, errors and user activities are logged in
chronological order, and can be displayed for further evaluation,
as needed.
• Database Audit Viewer: Log unauthorized changes in
databases (audit trail) guaranteeing the highest possible data
integrity.
• Reaction Processor: System-wide monitoring of plants and
processes based on certain criteria (events). The Reaction
Process triggers predefined (re) actions when one (or a
combination) of the criteria are met. Allows for centralized time
control of plants without scheduler programs / calendar
functions.
• System Configurator: Used to configure the general setup of
the DESIGO INSIGHT management station and associated
applications.
• Graphics Builder: Efficient creation of customized plant
graphics.
• Open Drivers such as BACnet, OPC, KNX S-Mode (EIB),
LONWORKS: For direct integration of various interfaces into the
management station.
• Online operator tools for existing systems.
