Glossary
Term Description
Project data Desigo engineering and project data required to create runtime systems, but that are no
longer needed for operation (offline data).
Runtime system Firmware (loaded) installed on the hardware of the customer plant or software with compiled
project data including libraries (online data).
New New Desigo customer project with no Desigo runtime system and project data.
Extension Existing plant or installation (existing Desigo runtime system with project data) that is being
expanded or extended (e.g., additional buildings).
Migration Replacement of existing plant or installation (existing Desigo / Visonik / Unigyr / Integral
runtime system with project data) by new technology with a change of software and/or
hardware.
Upgrade Functional improvement to existing plant or installation (existing Desigo runtime system with
project data) by deploying developments for a new Desigo system version.
Update Existing plant or installation (existing Desigo runtime system with project data) is updated
within the same version (e.g., to eliminate errors with a service pack).
Project data conversion Online Desigo project data from earlier Desigo versions are migrated to the current ABT/XWP
version when opened in ABT/XWP.
During conversion, the existing database structure and/or associated tool landscape is
migrated to the latest version. A conversion always impacts all project data of a tool project.
The project data and libraries remain unchanged. The runtime system (online project data)
does not change, that is, the original version status remains as is.
23.1 Desigo version compatibility definition
General definition
The Desigo version compatibility describes the compatibility of Desigo products:
● Within a Desigo Xworks Plus (XWP) project (incl. ABT/SSA)
● With the same tool project data
● On a Desigo runtime system
The compatibility also comprises Desigo project data at both the management level and room automation
linked to the same Desigo Xworks Plus (XWP) project.
Desigo system versions
