Graphics Pages in the Project

The graphical user interface is the most important interface for operating plants. In Desigo CC, graphic operation takes place in System Browser. The graphics page opens by clicking an object in System Browser (to open the graphics pages, see Navigation Concept). The corresponding graphics page opens based on the selected object:

Start Page
System Topology
Plant Overview
Plants
Floor Plan
Viewport of a Graphics Page
Graphic Template

Start Page

The Start Page (also referred to as Home page or Top page) displays one or more buildings of the corresponding plant. Typical information on the Start page includes:

Weather information

Outside temperature
Outside humidity
Wind speed
Solar radiation

Overview information in the Logical View

System Topology

The System Topology displays the network of the plant in question. Typical information on the System Topology page includes:

Server state
Information on project backup
Information on database backup (history database)
Driver states
Network state
Automation station state

Plant Overview

The Plant Overview displays the state on multiple plants. The layout of Overview pages depends on the particular project. The plant states are structured, depending on project size, by building > floor > electrical/mechanical installation. On a smaller project, all plant states from various mechanical and electrical installations can also be created on a single Overview page.

Typical information on an Overview page includes:

Plant state
Hours of operation
Meter values

Plants

The Plant page displays a plant with the corresponding devices. Typical information on the Plant page includes:

Plant state
Aggregate

Fan
Pumps
Boilers
Burners

Components

Sensors
Thermostats
Counter

Static objects

Channels
Piping
Texts

Floor Plan

The Floor Plan is the reproduction of a space (for example, a floor). Typical information on the Floor Plan includes:

State from room:

Operating Mode
Temperature
Lighting
Fire detector
Blinds

Video cameras
Access Control

Viewport

The graphics page viewport is used for the following:

Displays an extract of an existing graphics page (see Viewport of a coffee machine).
Is a copy of an existing graphics page. Always used wherever objects must be linked without a data point reference (for example, Overview pages).

Graphic Template

A Graphic Template displays, in graphic form, data points associated with a standardized Desigo building automation and control function. Typical information in a Graphic Template includes:

PID Controller
Cascade controller
Heating curve
Room application

These Graphic Templates do not require engineering. They are automatically recognized and displayed by Desigo CC when selecting the object data in System Browser. The Desigo building automation and control function name forms the basis for automatic recognition.

Plant Operator Tableau

The plant operator tableau is a custom compilation of the most important information for the user to operate plants. A maximum of 15 pieces of information, including title and spaces, can be configured on a graphic page.

A standard template, configured per the plant information, is used to engineer the plant operator tableau. A specific graphic page must be created for each plant operator tableau. The plant operator tableau is opened at Related items > Graphics.

For related procedures or workflows, see the step-by-step section Create a Plant Operator Tableau.

Configuration properties

Configuration properties for the plant operator tableau
Parameter	Description
Alternative Title	Text field for the group title
Reference	Data point reference
Type	0	Defines an analog value
	1	Defines a multistate value
	2	Defines an empty line
	3	Defines a title line

Command	Write	Default entry without priority array.
Command	WritePrio08	The value is dependent upon the entry in the object model of the applicable subsystem.
CommandRelease	ReleasePrio08	The value is dependent upon the entry in the object model of the applicable subsystem.
DisplayRelease	1	0 = The Release button is not visible. 1 = The Release button is visible.
Parameter	Value	Value entered in Expander Command configurator in column Command under Parameter.

Check the Spelling of the Write Command

The write command is dependent upon the applicable subsystem. Check the write command by selecting the the object model (for example binary output) in the library:

Blue: Write and release.

Red: Parameter.
