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 scaleable 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.

Distinguishing features of the DESIGO system
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:
the BACnet standard, both for communication between the management and
automation stations, and for communication from one automation station to another,
and LONMARK for room automation. DESIGO also supports components and systems
with interfaces such as OPC, Ethernet, LON, EIB, Modbus and M-bus.
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.
6
DESIGO system topologies
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.
Within the network, the DESIGO building automation and control system uses
manufacturer-neutral standard protocols for communications, specifically BACnet for
the management level and automation level, and LONMARK for the field level.

One of the key benefits of DESIGO is its scope for gradual expansion, from the
smallest system through to large distributed systems. Some examples are shown on
the next few pages.

System design for small buildings
A small automation system can even be implemented with just a small number of
individual PX modular or compact automation stations. As an option, this system can
be expanded by adding one or more type QAX34 or PXM20 operator units.

System design for medium-sized to large
building complexes
The DESIGO INSIGHT management station lets you get the most out of your plant.
Even in systems with a hundred data points or fewer, it proves its worth. The plant is
operated using highly informative, animated graphics. Optimum building operation is
ensured with scheduler programs that can be centrally operated, a clear, consolidated
alarm handling system and a wide range of other options. The DESIGO system can be
embedded without difficulty in existing IT Ethernet/LAN infrastructures.
Naturally, DESIGO can be expanded into a multi-user system. Remote operation via
the Web should also be mentioned here: this is an option which can be implemented
with DESIGO WEB and the PX-WEB solution for Web operation.

Distributed buildings
Up to 1,000 remote sites can be operated and monitored by telephone from a
DESIGO INSIGHT management station. In the event of a fault, the automation stations
automatically call the higher-level management station, which displays the fault to the
user in a "pop-up" window. The user simply clicks a button to navigate to the
associated graphics. In the case of the "life-safety" feature, the modem connections are
checked at regular intervals.
For remote access, connections can be established not only by modem, but also via
Ethernet/LAN. The management station can be connected anywhere on the in-house
LAN, from where it has access to the automation system via the router.

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. This means that nothing now stands
in the way of displaying BACnet data from other manufacturers.
Data for trend analysis can be logged in a variety of different ways:

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, in order
to observe transient response patterns, for example.
Offline trend Offline Trend by contrast, does not depend on a permanent connection between the
automation station and operator unit, because the values in the automation station can
be stored temporarily for retrieval on the operator unit as needed.
11/48
Features of Offline Trend:
Graphs can be displayed on both the PXM20 operator unit and the management
station, in the latter case as 2d or 3d graphs and in color.
Alarm management
One of the most important features of a building automation and control system is the
ability to generate alarms automatically in the event of faults; these faults may occur in
the HVAC and other systems 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. In this context, DESIGO makes full use of the BACnet standard as
a basis, and supports the following three types of alarm:
• Simple Alarms (for alarms not requiring user interaction)
• Basic Alarms (for alarms requiring acknowledgement)
• Extended Alarms (for alarms requiring acknowledgement and reset)
DESIGO also supports the 256 alarm priority levels of the BACnet standard, which can,
for example, be consolidated at the management station into ten priority levels.
Alarm messages When an alarm occurs, it is automatically detected, registered and transferred to
operator units such as the PXM20, to PX Web for Web operation or to the DESIGO
INSIGHT management station. Informative alarm messages are also transmitted to
remote devices such as mobile phones, fax machines, printers, 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. Pop-up windows
and audible and visual signals alert operators to incoming and pending alarms.
Alarm routing Alarms are transferred on the basis of time, priority and/or plant type with an
outstandingly powerful alarm routing system at the management station. In this way,
important messages reach their destination 24 hours a day throughout the year,
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.

Scheduler / Calendar
One of the basic functions of a building automation and control system is time control of
procedures and processes.
Ventilation, heating, air conditioning, lighting, door locks etc, are controlled on the basis
of opening times and working hours in buildings such as offices, banks, restaurants,
department stores and schools.
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.
Saving energy The ideal scheduler programs help save energy and increase the service life of the
plant.
Increasing the service life of Research has shown that scheduler programs are rarely used to best effect to save
plant energy and extend the service life of plant, because the programming operations
required are too complex. This is another area where DESIGO excels with its
straightforward and exceptionally user-friendly operation.
Standard BACnet functions DESIGO is based on the worldwide BACnet standard, in which even complex functions
such as scheduler programs are standardized. Time-switching operations in the
DESIGO building automation and control system are implemented in accordance with
this standard, using the BACnet objects "Schedule" and "Calendar". These powerful
functions can be operated flexibly, from simple 7-day programs for standard operation
from Monday to Sunday, to more sophisticated, recurring exceptions, such as business
opening times every second and fourth Saturday in the month.
With the standard BACnet functions, even BACnet schedules from third-party
manufacturers can now be monitored for the first time via the easy-to-use PXM20
operator unit, the PX Web controller and 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.
13/48
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.
Freely-definable access rights Only authorized personnel are granted access to the system via the operator units and
the management station. When a user enters a user name and password, the system
verifies the associated access rights and enables access to the relevant plant and
programs. Read and write access rights can be defined in detail, down to individual
information points.
These are assigned to one of the seven following access classes.
14
Communication – Networks
Technical designation
Unique addressing of all elements is essential for the identification of the plant and the
associated elements. In this area DESIGO has introduced an innovation, the "Technical
View", which is based on the user's viewpoint. This standardized hierarchically
structured view is based on the needs of the users of the plant. Addressing is thus not
based on the device-focused viewpoint of the automation stations (e.g.
"Controller08/DigitalOutput02"), but on the user's viewpoint, e.g.:
Clear-text designation "Location Kingston/Ventilation, Building 6/Air handling, 3rd floor/Supply air fan/Fan
switch".

Fast location of alarms The hierarchical structure is ideally suited to various types of plant, such as primary
plant, room systems and integrated systems, for example. Naturally, clear-text
designations are used throughout the system, appearing for example in alarm
messages, facilitating fast location of faults.
BACnet and 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 PX
automation station and another, and between DESIGO PX and DESIGO INSIGHT.
DESIGO uses Ethernet/IP, LON or PTP (point-to-point) as the transport medium. At the
field level, DESIGO RXC uses LONMARK, the standard ideally suited to the
requirements at this level.
15/48
Features of BACnet
The open BACnet communications protocol, a worldwide standard, has the following
special features:
• BACnet supports modern networks such as Ethernet, ARCnet, LONTALK, RS485 and
point-to-point connections.
• BACnet provides 23 predefined standard objects, including special objects for
applications such as trend logging, averaging, alarm distribution, time scheduling
and the connection of fire and safety systems, including fire detection systems etc.
• BACnet systems offer maximum interoperability with minimum engineering.
• BACnet supports decentralized systems with distributed intelligence.
• There are no user fees associated with BACnet – anyone can develop and use
BACnet solutions.

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 the
time required to become familiar with the system, while at the same time increasing
operational reliability. The DESIGO INSIGHT applications are available in a basic
"Start-feature" package, with other applications available as options:

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. The user can modify
a value or acknowledge an alarm simply by clicking on the relevant object.
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.

Alarm management
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.
19/48
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.
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
Criteria for the transfer of Alarms can be grouped according to various criteria. A routing table defines the
alarms 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 night 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 resident engineer by pager in the case of high
priority alarms)
20
Time Scheduler
The Time Scheduler application in DESIGO INSIGHT can be used for central
programming of all time-controlled functions in the building services plant, including the
individual room control system.
Graphics-based operation The facilities for graphics-based operation of the weekly schedules and exception
programs, the user can modify and optimize scheduler programs at any time and
without difficulty.
Principle functions:
• Graphics-based overview and manipulation • Direct entry of various operating modes
of all scheduler programs in the system (e.g. Comfort, Standby, Energy Hold-Off)
• Easy graphics-based programming of • Storage and processing are independent

Trend logging
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.
21/48
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 (and even data from the archive) can be displayed
simultaneously in separate windows, enabling the user to compare past and current
situations.
Drag
Drop
Objects can be dragged from the System Browser and dropped directly into Trend Viewer
The trend views can be saved and invoked at a later date. Online trend data is
continuously logged and stored in the trend database.
22
Log Viewer
The Log Viewer provides a view of the events and user activities archived in
chronological order in the log database. Users thus have access whenever required to
all past events.
Event Handler The data logging system is a background service performed by the Event Handler in
DESIGO INSIGHT V2, which continuously logs reported events as follows:
• Alarm events from the process level such as plant alarms, high priority warnings,
frost alarms etc. The alarm is logged when it occurs, and thereafter upon
acknowledgement, reset and return to normal.
• System events from DESIGO INSIGHT management stations and PX automation
stations. Examples are communication problems, selection procedures, 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 two user interfaces of Log Viewer and Alarm Viewer use tables with the same "look
and feel" and with a versatile range of options for sorting and filtering.
23/48
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.
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.

Web Access
Web Access is an interface to the building, based on a browser and using integrated
Web technology. Web Access can be used for roaming, and for remote access to and
control of important building-related information managed by DESIGO INSIGHT.
Home page
Given the now widespread familiarity with Web browsers, even occasional users can
access the required data quickly. This cost-effective solution reduces the cost of
training, software installation and maintenance. The Web Access software facilitates
and encourages the simple distribution of building information to those who need it, and
at the point where they need it.
Given the modular structure of DESIGO INSIGHT, new and existing DESIGO INSIGHT
systems can be upgraded with Web Access at any time. The principles of Web Access
can be applied in a building network, over the company intranet and on the Internet.
Using technology based on Microsoft Active Server Pages, Web pages work together
with DESIGO INSIGHT to exchange data between the browser and the system. There
are two methods of data exchange:
• Via the Citect interface, for the exchange of dynamic data and for alarm handling
• Via ODBC queries to the SQL databases
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 dowloading of
Active-X or similar scripts.
26
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.
Web Access provides access to the system via a browser. This maintains the familiar
format based on the successful operability guidelines of DESIGO INSIGHT.
• Index Page is the equivalent of the familiar "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. "Sort" and
"Filter" procedures can be predefined or carried out 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.

DESIGO PX: the scaleable
automation and control system
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.

Automation stations: the compact series
The compact series of automation stations is ideal for all control and monitoring
activities in distributed HVAC systems. The compact-series automation stations have
built-in I/O terminals and can be used in packaged-unit (e.g. AHU) control panels and
standard installations, even where space is very limited.
All compact automation stations are freely programmable and incorporate the full range
of system functions.
The operator units are easily connected using standard cables. In addition, up to five
QAX… room units can be linked via a two-wire connection directly to the PPS2
interface.
The PXC36-S automation station also incorporates a manual switch and further LED
indicators. Manual operation via the switch positions Auto/Stop/Manual can be used for
direct switch control of spring-return actuators, and for control of switch functions which
are logically interconnected via the program structure.
The PXC10-TL, PXC12-T and PXC22-T automation stations also have an integral
remote management feature, allowing remote alarm transmission and remote operation
via the public telephone network in conjunction with DESIGO INSIGHT.
Further, the PXC10-TL automation station is optimized for wall mounting and has a
built-in 230 V supply.
30
Automation stations: the modular series
The modular series of automation stations is particularly suitable for all control and
monitoring tasks in large and sophisticated systems for HVAC and other building
services. With their graded range of functions, the modular automation stations offer a
high degree of flexibility. A wide range of I/O modules makes it possible to adapt the
data points individually to the field devices.
Types
PXC64-U Basic types for 64 load units, LON connection, PPS interface, P-bus
connection and snap-mounting for PXM20 operator unit
PXC128-U Basic types for 128 load units, LON connection, PPS interface, P-bus
connection and snap-mounting for PXM20 operator unit
PXA30-T Extension module for remote management
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 bar and can be
interconnected in application-specific configurations.
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.
Third-party systems and components can be integrated via the "intelligent" PTM…
I/O modules. 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.
Up to 128 modules can be connected to the modular automation stations, depending
on the basic type selected and the total number of load units.

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.

System Design (with Project Management and Solution Browser)
System Design 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.
System Design is used to structure and specify plant and partial plant. From the library
of pre-programmed and tested solutions, the engineer can use the Solution Browser to
select and configure the solution best suited to customer requirements. System Design
is also used to define the network topology, and to design any room management
solutions and the integration of third-party systems. The number of automation stations
required for the partial plant is calculated automatically. This is followed by the
addressing of the data points.
PX Design
PX Design is the graphics programming and configuration tool for DESIGO PX.
PX Design supports the downloading of the application programs and the
commissioning of the system.
The compounds, which themselves contain function blocks, represent tested solutions,
selected via the Solution Browser. Where objects have been added or removed in
System Design, it may be necessary to use PX Design to modify the compounds
accordingly.
Router Design
Router Design is used to configure the routers in the system.

Application blocks
The application libraries contain preconfigured and tested programs which can be used
as the basis for individual customer solutions. The HVAC application architecture offers
an overall view of typical heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems with
distributed applications. It is structured in accordance with the "supply chains" (the flow
of energy and media) in building services systems.
The HVAC application architecture comprises application-specific functional units
(software blocks) specifically designed to provide the user with the same "look and
feel":
• in a wide range of different types of building
• for widely differing building services systems
in conjunction with automation systems from different manufacturers
