Workspace Room Management

This section includes background information on the Room Management workspace in Desigo CC. You can edit the following configurations in the Room Management workspace:

  • Assign an existing segment to another room
  • Reconfigure lighting in a room with multiple switches
  • Reconfigure shading control in a room with multiple switches

Information on procedures is available in the step-by-step section.

Distributed System:
The central room function editor is only available to the group master and group members via the driver for the current Desigo CC BACnet network. In an environment with multiple Desigo CC servers accessing the same BACnet subnetwork, only the group master and group members using the current driver are visible.
Additional limitations on distributed systems is available in section: Known Limitations if Splitting a BACnet Network to Multiple Servers (Distributed Systems).
