Compound
The most sophisticated solution for new projects is provided with Desigo V6.2 Update because it supports
the complete workflow including the new Compound {IngtVlv1} for the Desigo PX Primary controllers. This
compound offers a pre-engineered solution representing the most important datapoints, a trending of
selected datapoints and an evaluation of the Intelligent Valve error indication used for alarming.
See
Compound Library Reference Manual
(A6V11625777).
3.5 Desigo Open
Desigo Open lets you integrate devices and systems from different manufacturers into the Desigo system.
Desigo Open supports various protocols, e.g., OPC, Modbus, KNX/EIB, LonWorks, M-Bus, KNX, DALI, etc.
for integrating energy monitoring, fire security, access control and security, power distribution, refrigeration
machines, pumps, meters, variable speed drives, ligthing and blinds, etc.
Regional companies can use Software Development Kits (SDKs) to develop their own solutions.
Integration on the management level
Desigo CC uses BACnet, Modbus, OPC, SNMP, and RESTful web services to exchange data with third-
party systems.
Integration on the automation level
PX Open system controllers let you integrate third-party devices on Modbus, M-Bus, KNX and other
protocols, by converting all data into standard BACnet objects.
Integration on the field level
TXIx.OPEN lets you integrate third-party systems, such as M-Bus meters, pumps (Grundfos, Wilo) and
variable speed drives (Siemens G120P), and connect intelligent aggregates, e.g., chillers, via the Modbus
protocol.
3.6 Workflow and tools
The Desigo tools cover parts of the technical process and parts of the Desigo system:
● Desigo Configuration Module (DCM) lets you plan the system and determine the quantity during the
sales phase.
● Xworks Plus (XWP) lets you engineer, commission and service Desigo PX system components.
● ABT Pro and ABT Site (Automation Building Tool) let you engineer, commission and service Desigo
(BACnet) system components.
● PX KNX-Tool lets you commission and service PX KNX.
● Desigo CC Graphics Generator lets you automatically generate Desigo CC plant graphics using
information from the System Definition Unit (SDU) and XWP.
● System Definition Unit (SDU) lets you define application texts in different languages.
