DESIGO building automation system

DESIGO – the flexible building automation
and control system
The DESIGO TM system is a forward-looking family of freely programmable
management and automation stations for the full spectrum of building services
applications in today's world. With system functions such as alarm management,
time scheduling, and trend logging, combined with sophisticated control functions,
DESIGO is a highly versatile asset in a building. Innovative Web technology,
powerful databases and open communications make DESIGO a financially wise
investment in the future. Scalable from small to large projects with the highest
degree of energy efficiency, transparency and optimum operations as well as
applications for infrastructure and industry.
DESIGO is consistent in its support of open communications, making it easy to
connect a wide variety of building services equipment on the basis of standard
open data interfaces:
• BACnet TM for the automation level and management level network
• LONWORKS ® and Konnex (KNX) S-Mode (instabus EIB) to network room
automation and decentralized secondary processes
• M-bus, Modbus, OPC and other interfaces for universal connection of third-party
devices and systems
• TCP/IP network protocol
Highest degree of energy efficiency
The tested DESIGO plant applications comply with European standard
EN 15232 in the highest energy efficiency classes. You can save, for example, up
to 30% percent on energy in offices compared to standard systems through the use
of proven and predefined energy savings functions. A number of DESIGO room
applications are already eu.bac certified.
The DESIGO INSIGHT management station uses life-like graphics to portray
complex issues in an easy-to-read way. Trend curves are easily evaluated and
analyzed on both the PXM20 operator units as well as the management station.
Plant operations are simple to optimize in this manner and allow operators to
operate the entire building services plants in an energy efficient manner.
Protect investment over the entire life-cycle of the
building
With its flexible range of automation stations, room controllers and operator units,
DESIGO is ideally suited to projects of all sizes and for all types of building. A flat
system topology permits low-cost entry with small systems which can be extended
and expanded as required.
Consistent compatibility protects investment over decades and throughout the entire
building life-cycle. DESIGO integrates existing automation systems VISONIK,
UNIGYR, INTEGRAL and SIMATIC S7 seamlessly and carries them forward into the
future. Changes in use, system expansion and retrofit projects can all be handled in
gradual stages.
