Large system
PX site
PX site is a means of structuring large PX projects. Desigo room automation stations are not part of a PX
site.
In a PX site one PX automation station is defined as the primary server and all other PX automation
stations are defined as backup servers. Every automation station can be defined as the primary server.
The primary server carries out system functions, such as time synchronization, life check and the
distribution of global data:
● Time synchronization: The primary server distributes the current time to the backup devices.
● Life check: The backup servers detect the failure of the primary server and the primary server detects
the failure of the backup servers. If a server fails, an alarm message is sent. If the primary server fails,
another automation station must be defined manually as the primary server.
● Distribution of global data: Global objects are available on all PX automation stations. The primary
server synchronizes changes, e.g., calendar object, notification class object, that are made on the
primary server to the backup servers.
Handling a PX Site in Desigo clients
When an operating device starts, it searches for all primary servers and offers a log in to the PX site.
A Desigo CC site can contain several PX sites and third-party devices. Desigo CC registers itself as a global
alarm recipient for the PX site on the primary server.
3.8 Communication principles
Desigo uses open communications to connect various technical building systems based on open and
standardized data interfaces:
● BACnet is used from room automation to the management level
● KNX®, DALI, EnOcean® and LonWorks® are used in room automation and decentralized secondary
processes
● M-bus, Modbus, OPC, MS/TP, and other interfaces are used for connecting third-party devices and
systems
