SDKs
If a solution is not supported by HQ and RCs need a specific solution, HQ offers Software Development Kits
(SDKs) for experts. The regional companies can develop their own solutions using Software Development
Kits (SDKs).
The following SDKs are available:
● PX Open platform SDK
● TX Open platform SDK
21.1 Integration on management level
The integration of third-party devices and systems on the management level is appropriate:
● For monitoring and operating plants that are not time-critical
● When process communication with other automation stations is not needed

BACnet
BACnet is a widely used communication protocol for building automation and control networks. It defines a
number of objects, services and data link layers. It is an essential part of Desigo CC's openness for
integrating any third-party devices, using the BACnet/IP protocol. An online auto-discovery and
alternatively an offline EDE import are available for integrating third-party devices.
See
BACnet 3rd party Integration Guide (A6V10446271).
BTL
For more information about compliance and interoperability of Desigo products, go to
http://www.bacnetinternational.net/btl and search for Desigo.
Modbus-TCP
A native Modbus-TCP driver lets you integrate a Modbus TCP server and subsequent Modbus RTU devices
via a protocol converter. An offline importer supports the engineering workflow for integrating Modbus data
points.
See Modbus Integration Guide (A6V10438039).
OPC
OLE for Process Control (OPC) is a communication standard for exchanging data between windows based
software applications and process control hardware without any proprietary restrictions. It is a client/server
technology, where one application acts as the server providing data, and another acts as a client using
data. The most common specification
Data Access (DA) defines a set of objects, interfaces and method to
facilitate the interoperability. OPC has been extended to become a cross-platform communication
standard, named OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA).
For more information about OPC, see the documentation by the OPC Foundation (www.opcfoundation.org)
and the OPC Training Institute (www.opcti.com).
OPC DA client
An OPC client interface lets you integrate any OPC server, using the Data Access specification. An offline
Importer supports the engineering workflow to integrate OPC items.
See
OPC Server Integration Guide (A6V10415483).
