DESIGO building automation 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 the form of trend log objects, in compliance with BACnet standard.
Trend logging options:
• Continuous logging
• Single run
• Logging over a specified period
Sampling options:
• Polling
• COV polling (Change of Value)
• 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 features:
• Real-time display of process data
• Based on changes in the value of a
data point (COVs) or on periodic
sampling by Trend Viewer (times can
be configured)
Offline trend features:
• Offline data display – no permanent connection
required
• Longer periods of time (days,months)
• Data acquisition in the automation system
• The data is uploaded to the management level at
regular intervals or as needed
Alarm management
One of the most important functions of a building automation and control system
are the automatic alarms for faults in the building services plants. 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 alarms with up to 256 alarm priority
levels:
• Basic alarm (for alarms not requiring user interaction)
• Simple 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 PXM20 or PX-WEB, or to the DESIGO INSIGHT
management station. Informative alarm messages are also transmitted to remote
