Multiscan Configuration (CSV) File

To integrate Multiscan++ or Galileo control panels into Desigo CC you must first prepare a textual configuration file in CSV (comma separated values) format that defines the data structure for the panel.

To do this, use Microsoft Excel or a text editor to edit the configuration file.
NOTE: Use a comma (,) as separator.

You can then use this file to import the configuration.

Weitere Informationen zur Modbus-Konfigurationsdatei (CSV) finden Sie unter CSV-Datei für den Import von Modbus-Geräten.

To obtain pre-configured CSV sample files to edit, contact the Technical Support team.

Pre-configured sample files can be used to create custom configuration files by removing unwanted gas detectors and relays according to the specific configuration.

Do not change the IDs already configured since they are fixed in the Modbus interface. Therefore, each detector or relay allocates its own fixed Modbus register.

To have the panel data imported and its diagnostic provided, the panel rows must not be deleted.

Also, pre-configured sample files provide examples for function mapping in the first four detector lines of each sample file. These can be useful when adding new points and starting from an example of an existing point type included in the CSV file with functions defined. The following functions are currently available:

CO Detection
CO2 Detection
O2 Detection
Temperature Detection

Multiscan++ function mapping samples

For the Multiscan++ control panel types, in addition to the first four detector lines which are for the internal detectors, pre-configured sample files provide four function mapping samples for the first four detectors connected to the loop.

Da die Gerätepunkte als flache Liste in die Managementsicht importiert werden, bieten die vorkonfigurierten Beispieldateien zudem eine vordefinierte technische Sicht, die für die vor Ort erforderliche Konfiguration verwendet werden kann.

As for the logical view, pre-configured sample files can be also modified to automatically create a user-defined view out of the import. This part is not provided in pre-configured CSV files because user views strictly depend on the customer’s requirements that can be easily added.

Der Abschnitt [Points] ist wie folgt zusammengesetzt:

Data	Description
[ParentDeviceName]	Name of the device to which the point is connected.
[Name]	Point name. Special characters are not allowed.
[Description]	Point description to display in System Browser.

[Offset]	Used in combination with the import rules table to achieve the correct value of the register. For more information about the rules that apply to the different Multiscan CSV configuration files, see below.
[SubIndex]	Not used.
[DataType]	Not used.
[Direction]	Defines the address/response mode used for accessing the value on the Modbus server: Input: Data must be read from the Modbus server. Output:. Data must be written to the Modbus server. To read back an output item, a Modbus InOut point must be created. In this specific case (Multiscan ++ and Galileo panels) this field is always set to “I” in the CSV files. Anyway, during the import it is automatically set by the system because this association is defined in the import rules of this extension.
[Object Model]	Name of the object model linked to this point.
