Desigo Insight Management station What is Desigo Insight? Desigo Insight is the BACnet management station of the Desigo building automation and control system that works with the automation stations Desigo PX, Desigo TRA (Total Room Automation) and BACnet third-party. What is the aim of "Getting Started"? The aim of this booklet is to introduce you quickly to your new Desigo Insight management station. We intend that you should use this booklet together with a real Desigo system.
Starting your management station Switch on your management station (PC). If the Desigo Insight taskbar is not already visible (see picture below) start Desigo Insight by selecting: Start > Programs > Desigo Insight Vx.x > Desigo Insight Desigo Insight software is now running, and, even though no-one is logged- in, the management station is able to receive alarms and log data from your plant.
Logging in Click any button in the taskbar to log in. The following dialog box is displayed: Administrator logs in Enter the user name and password supplied by your representative. Note that the password is case-sensitive! The taskbar now changes, showing the logged-in user. Note that if you leave your management station unattended it goes to a “locked” status, requiring you to log in again. 6 / 34 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Management station, V6.
The taskbar and Desigo Insight programs The taskbar is always displayed when Desigo Insight is running, allowing you to command your building automation and control system immediately, even if you are operating an equally interesting Windows program. The buttons that are visible depend upon which user is logged-in and the type of Desigo Insight license installed.
What is a "site"? A site is an autonomous, logical unit of a building automation and control system that generally comprises a specific local, functionally and organizationally autonomous space (e.g.: a building or group of buildings). A site comprises one or multiple Desigo PX, BACnet devices (BACnet IP, BACnet LON, or MSTP).
After connecting, the dialog box should change as shown below: Connected taskbar Your “real” site may automate the connection steps above, for example by automatically connecting to your site as soon as you log in. Note: BACnet Sites are always connected. 9 / 34 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Management station, V6.
Starting Plant Viewer Plant Viewer is a graphical visualization of your system. It can only run if you are connected to site. Start it by clicking the button identified in the table above. At the top of the Plant Viewer window, a navigation bar is displayed specific to the Plant Viewer interface. The buttons work as shown below.
Moving around Plant Viewer Plant Viewer pages are usually arranged in a logical sequence. This allows you to follow a predetermined path using the navigation bar “forward” and “backward” page buttons. In addition, the standard “System” (your controls topology) and “Top” pages can be displayed at any time via their respective buttons.
Layers of information If you require more information about the fan, or wish to override the fan state, for example, click the fan's center to display the corresponding super genie. A super genie is a representation of a number of plant details in a single, small dialog box, usually pertaining to a single plant element. For example, switch on the thermoelectric trip of a fan in your plant: an alarm symbol appears by the fan symbol.
To get more information about this alarm, click the alarm bell symbol. More alarm information Since there may be more than one source of an alarm, we have arranged a series of alarm buttons at the top of the alarm super genie. When an alarm button is visible, the corresponding alarm input is active, and you can click the button to display the corresponding information in the alarm super genie. This concept is used in all alarm super genies in your Plant Viewer graphics.
Adjusting plant operation in Plant Viewer Plant Viewer can be used to · · · · · Override plant states Adjust setpoints Acknowledge and reset alarms Set the alarm limits of a plant item Set a manual value for a physical input or output All these options are made available according to the privileges of the logged-in user. For example, click the supply air temperature sensor in the graphic.
Example: Overriding a fan You can override most items of plant, provided you have sufficient privileges. In the graphics, click the fan symbol to display the fan genie, and override the fan state as shown below. Remember to release the fan to automatic later, so that it operates normally. The fan operates safely, i.e. safety interlocks are still checked, but it does not respond, for example, to time control signals. 15 / 34 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Management station, V6.
What do “Automatic” and “Manual” mean? The automatic state means that the displayed value is under full control of the associated automation station. If not in the automatic state then the plant element has been overridden for some reason. Desigo systems have in fact a number of ways that the normal automatic control state may be overridden. These are generally indicated by the yellow “Hand” symbol over a plant item. 16 / 34 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Management station, V6.
Alarms Alarms indicate a plant condition that is other than normal; they have a set priority or degree of severity (for example “critical”), a set format (see below) and are routed to any combination of receiving devices such as the management station screen or printer. Alarm Acknowledge and Reset We saw earlier how the sources of alarms appear in Plant Viewer.
From there, click the alarm bell symbol. The following diagram shows how you can interact with the alarm from there. 1 Acknowledge here 2 3 Alarm condition cleared 4 Some alarms also require a reset 18 / 34 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Management station, V6.
Note that you can also acknowledge and reset alarms from any other Desigo Insight management station or operator unit: they all operate in the same way on the same point. Alarms are also given a number representing their degree of severity or “priority”, where '0' is the highest and '9' the lowest. Alarms produce pop-up windows at the management station in accordance with the system configuration. For example, the system can be configured so that only priority levels 0 and 1 produce a pop-up window.
· To alter the column order: Click and hold on the column header button, and drag and drop the column to a new position. · To specify what data is to be displayed: Note All these methods of altering the display format can be used in all the Desigo Insight tabular displays. 20 / 34 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Management station, V6.
Alarm interactions from Alarm Viewer You can also acknowledge or reset alarms from Alarm Viewer as shown below: Note You cannot reset an alarm if the condition causing the alarm is still active. For example, if an air filter is blocked, the alarm cannot be reset until the filter is replaced. In the Alarm Viewer table, you can select multiple alarms by the usual Windows method (hold down the key and left click, or hold down the key and left click).
Using Log Viewer For Desigo Insight, alarms are actually just one type of “event”: Status Events User Events Alarms System Events Log Database User User events: Everything you do at the management station Status events: Nominated plant events System events: Management station software events such as site connections, system start-up etc. All events are logged to a single database; you can view the contents of this database using Log Viewer.
Creating graphs with Trend Viewer To create a graph in Trend Viewer you can start by selecting data from in any convenient Desigo Insight application: · Plant Viewer · Object Viewer · Log Viewer · Alarm Viewer Right-click the desired plant element (for example, a temperature sensor in Plant Viewer): Send to... Some icons in Plant Viewer present more than one parameter after a right-click (i.e. automation station PX). In such cases use the “primary value”, i.e. the parameter ending in “PrV”.
Trend highlights Try this on your plant: start a graph of outside air temperature and humidity, and adjust the values (if possible in your plant). Points are added to the display whenever there is a change of value of the data point: if you would prefer points to be added at fixed intervals of time use the pull-down option in the top right of the Trend Viewer dialog box.
Time control of your plant Time Scheduler allows you to configure start, stop and other operating modes for your plant according to a basic plan. The plan can then be amended to include holidays and other “exceptions” to the norm. The time program is stored in the automation station and so once configured does not depend on the management station. Open Time Scheduler using the Desigo Insight taskbar button.
To modify the times, double-click a period: Adjusting a time period You can use the spin buttons adjacent to the input fields to modify the times (and the associated operating mode). In this way, you can define the time schedule for plant operation. Report Viewer You can use Report Viewer to create reports about the states of the plant manually or automatically (with the Reaction Processor). For example, you can interrogate the data in the system at regular intervals, e.g.
Reaction Processor The Reaction Processor lets you create automatic reports based on a specific time or a data point threshold. The "Write value" function also allows you to influence the plant, e.g. by modifying setpoints. BACnet-integrated third-party products without their own time scheduling function can be controlled with the Reaction Processor time function. 27 / 34 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Management station, V6.
Eco Viewer The innovative energy monitoring functions in Desigo Insight provide real-time displays (online, real-time) and evaluate energy consumption of plants as well as the quality of operations. After the plant is delivered, there is a risk that parts of the plant will be operated in an unfavorable manner, without negatively affecting required Comfort, but in terms of energy consumption and wear and tear of components.
Standardization Current and future international standards (e.g. EN 15232:2007(E), chapter 7) require the system recording (logging), online monitoring or a step or process; always with the goal in mind of managing a building in an optimum manner. Desigo Insight: Object-oriented system Up to now, we have looked at Desigo Insight from the point of view of specific actions, such as altering a time schedule or dealing with an alarm.
Object Viewer: the technical view of your system You will probably use the applications previously described for most of the operation of your plant. For a comprehensive, text-based list of all the objects in your Desigo Insight system you can use Object Viewer. There are three different views in Object Viewer: Technical View Based on a naming convention used for all control objects User View Based on any organizational structure you wish e.g. the layout of your building, the departmental structure etc.
System information The Desigo Insight taskbar always shows a “System Information” icon (see earlier). This is a check on the general health of the Desigo Insight management station, including relevant computer parameters such as hard disk status. If you click this, the details are displayed as follows: If a red cross or yellow exclamation mark is displayed, you can identify the exact source using the System Information browser.
Logging out of Desigo Insight If you leave Desigo Insight unattended for a short time, then it assumes the “Locked” state: This prevents unauthorized access. If you wish to leave the management station in a safe condition immediately, then you can opt to Log Off: In the “Locked” state (after selecting Lock) and the “Logged out” state, the management station continues to accept alarm messages and log Trend data.
