OLE for Process Control (OPC) is a widely accepted industrial communication standard that enables the
exchange of data between multi-vendor devices and control applications without any proprietary
restrictions. OPC is a client-server technology and Desigo CC can acts as the server providing data to third
party clients.
Web services

to supervision management platforms or other third-party external applications.

Project and HDB backup
Backing up Desigo CC requires saving independent parts on different servers or PCs. We recommend that
you save the backups of your project data to a different machine from where they originally reside.
Two parts must be backed up:
● The entire customer project data, including all libraries, configurations, object data (project backup).
● The historic data collected in the history databases (HDB backup).
Backups can be done either manually or by applying a macro in combination with a management platform
scheduler.

Graphic Library Browser shows all the available symbols and graphic template objects in your project

Symbols
A graphics symbol is a reusable graphic image that represents a piece of equipment, floor, or any
component or entity. Symbols are stored in a library and are used to display system object values. Symbols
can be associated with one or more object types in the Models & Functions application and bound to
object type properties to create substitutions in your graphics that provide a dynamic, visual representation
of changing values from Desigo CC.
In its simplest form, a symbol is a graphic made up of drawing elements on the graphic canvas in the
Graphics Editor. Each drawing element has a series of associated properties. These properties can be used
to create substitutions. Symbols can be associated with an object type
