Desigo system compatibility basics

The BACnet client ensures the backwards compatibility. Desigo CC should thus have a BACnet revision
that is at least the same as all of its connected BACnet servers.
Usually, BACnet devices of a specific BACnet protocol revision fully support earlier revision functions.
However, since this is not true in all cases, we recommend that you verify the compatibility in each case.
For an overview of the BACnet functions supported in Desigo, see
BACnet Protocol Implementation
Conformance Statement (PICS)
(CM110665).
Create and delete BACnet objects
The function can be used on Desigo PXC automation stations. Desigo room automation stations PXC3 are
not supported.
Third-party devices can be processed using the same functionality as long as they support creating and
deleting BACnet objects. PXM20 operating units do not display dynamic objects.
Backup and restore BACnet devices
With the BACnet backup and restore function you can upload saved program data (application program)
from a BACnet device to Desigo CC and restore it to the same or a new BACnet device.
The backup and restore function can only be run if the third-party BACnet devices support it.
