Function Concept

The Function concept impacts the following main elements:

Platform Data Type

It forms the basis for the Object Model set up on Desigo CC (no longer described in detail). Platform tools are required in individual cases for driver development of additional subsystems.

Object Model

All Desigo CC basic data types are designated Object Models. The corresponding default value is defined per subsystem for each Object Model.

Function

Function includes the semantic description (for example, fire detector or temperature sensor) for one or more specific data points.

Instances

Imported project data can be modified specifically to the instance using the Object Configurator.

Project Data

The project data (SiB-X) contains the specific information on a data point or data point amount by the system and is responsible for Desigo CC response. The Function or Object Model supplements missing information on a project data point to ensure uniform functioning of Desigo CC. Instance-specific modifications are possible using the Object Configurator.

The tree structure ensures a consistent operating, commanding and alarming philosophy for the various integrated subsystems. The benefits of this concept include:

  • Discipline-specific project data from fire, HVAC, intrusion, and so on can be configured using the same mechanism.
  • Additional or new systems can be easily added. It can be accomplished at Vendor’s HQ or the appropriate regional companies as well as for customized integrations.
