4.10 Desigo Configuration Module (DCM)
Desigo Configuration Module (DCM) lets users, who work in sales or project execution, design the building
automation and control system.
See
Desigo Configuration Module (CM110752).
DCM is automatically updated with the latest data if installed correctly by using the provided setup
program, keeping the suggested installation path, and if an online/network connection is available. The
updated data can also be updated regionally or dependent on a user to reflect relevant requirements.
Field of application
DCM calculates the required materials for an installation from raw system data, such as data points,
panels, and building and plant structures.
You can use DCM to conduct analysis of variants after defining and completing the installation structure by
generating copies and then subsequently changing the hardware specifications. If prices are stored in
DCM, you can also compare prices to find the best possible device for the money. You can copy the devices
calculated in DCM from the price lists or export them as an Excel file to calculate a bid.
Flexibility
You can enter the data directly into DCM or import it as an Excel file for the automation and Desigo room
automation level.
The structure in DCM is hierarchical, but you can customize the structure according to your requirements.
Management level
The required software licenses for the selected functions, devices, integrations and data points are
calculated on the management level. The licenses are listed and the required software units are calculated.
Calculations can be made for new installations and for upgrades and migration. To calculate upgrades and
migration, you can import existing license keys. The import provides the exact installed basis and explicitly
allows additional, required licenses and software units.
Devices for the Desigo Web Interface are also determined on the management level. The calculation is
based on the number of data points to be integrated in the web interface and by the number of desired
touch panels.
Desigo room automation level
The Desigo room automation level lets you create highly complex building structures with the sublevels
building, floor, zone, room, and room segment for Desigo room automation.
The required hardware is calculated from the specified functions and/or data points and/or KNX PL-Link
and KNX devices. The specification follows a model function set that is then assigned to the structure
within the Desigo room automation level. In addition, multiple model function sets can be created in a
project and each of them assigned as needed. A structure at the Desigo room automation level may have
multiple, assigned model function sets, and a model function set can be assigned to different structures. As
