Desigo Automation Application Modeling

Application Modeling with ABT

  1. The ABT tool is used to create a modified headquarter application.
  1. Export the RC solution as a SiB-X file.
Application Modeling with the ABT-Tool

 

RC Equal to the HQ Application

RC Application is Equal to the HQ Application

The RC application cannot have any changes to the data points for display. Altered algorithms or controls are permitted. The graphic is not correctly displayed if the graphic depiction has fewer BACnet objects than exist in the HQ application.

RC Application = HQ Application

RC Application is Equal to the HQ Application with an Additional Data Point

The same requirements as for the previous application solution. Additional data points integrated in the system are only displayed in the System Browser.

RC Application = HQ Application and DP

Required Changes

The existing HQ application must be modified at two locations in order to display the corresponding RC application graphic template:

  1. Object model assignment
  1. Function assignment

 

Create a New RC Application with RC Object Model

Scenario: The RC (L2-Region) or project (L4-Project) creates its own application with a number of data points used that does not match the HQ application. An own object model must be created to use the application.

RC Application with Own Data Point List

NOTE: If, in ABT-Tool, an underscore is used in the name (for example: Rad_VlvPos) in the Base name column, the base name is displayed in Desigo CC with two underscores (for example:Rad__VlvPos_Present_Value).

Creating Meta data for Object Model

  • The modeling data application is available.
  1. In [Installation Drive]:\[Installation Folder]\GMSMainProject\bin\, start file TraApplications.exe.
  1. Click Select S1X File.
  1. Select the SiB-X file and click Open.
  • The list of available applications displays. Property Object_Identifier is extended using a supplemental ID number as the object type so that the subordinate properties can be uniquely identified.
  1. Select the RC application and select the check box.
    NOTE: You can use the tooltip to display detailed information if multiple information exists on the same type in the Name column.
  1. Click Create Meta Data.
  • The meta data is saved to the same folder as the import data.
    NOTE: Do not exit the Customize of Application Models Tool.

    d. In the Standard symbol drop-down list, select a symbol.
    e. Select all additional properties *_Present_Value_* and assign them a symbol.
  1. Click Save .
  • The configuration is created for the object model.
  1. Select Project > System Settings > Libraries > L2-Region > BA > Device > Desigo Automation > Import Rules,
    or
    Project > System Settings > Libraries > L4-Project > BA > Device > Desigo Automation > Import Rules.
  1. Select the Import Rules tab.
  1. Open the Objects and Properties expander.

    b. In column Use Default Value, clear the check boxes Object_Identifier and Object_Name.
    c. In column Use Default Value, select check boxes Group_Category and Group_Category_Text.
    NOTE: This information is needed for the Central Function Editor.
    d. Steps a to c must be performed for all newly created object models.
  1. Open the Instance Attributes Mapper expander.
    a. Click Add. A new row is added.
    b. In the Value of FunctionKey column, enter the RC function name (for example, RadHW11RC02).
    c. In the Function name column, enter the RC function name (for example, RadHW11RC02).
    d. In the other columns, enter the corresponding values for the existing HQ application.
  1. Click Save .
  • The configuration for the object model and function is created.
  1. Import the application modeling data.
  • The number of instances for import is displayed.

Comment on Position in List

The setting Position in List sets the sequence used by the system for assignments. Assignment occurs first via the segments (RSegm_) and then the room (R_).

Option First:

The search first occurs by the RC-specific name.

Option End:

The search first occurs by the HQ-specific name. The RC name is assigned if no HQ name is found.
