9 Trend About this section This section contains all the information required to operate the Trend Viewer. What is trend? Plant data recording is referred to as Trend in Desigo Insight and takes place in the Trend Viewer application. 9.1 What is online trend? Online/offline trend: Definitions Online trend is a means of plotting and recording any changes in the value or state of selected data points, live over a period of time.
Summary of offline trend data Type of data Description Trend log object data uploaded from the automation system Offline trend data can be gathered and stored by trend log objects within the automation system even when the Desigo Insight management station is not connected. The collected data can then be uploaded into the offline trend database. The offline trend data can then be viewed in Trend Viewer. Online trend Data gathered by online trending and saved to the offline database (e.g.

Arranges the open windows horizontally. Arrange icons to the lower window frame. Activates this window (window). Trend Viewer System Browser The System Browser is implemented as a split window within Trend Viewer, and is located to the left of the trend view pane.
Trend view elements The trend view consists of a chart area on which data series are viewed and manipulated. All the main elements such as the axes, scaling, titles and colors can be configured, either by setting a default or by modifying the current trend view.
Quality attributes The trend view is able to display a number of state attributes, referred to as "quality attributes", along with the trend data. These enable to user to identify problems with the data point being trended, and assist with the diagnosis of plant conditions. The meaning of the various attributes is explained in the table below: Symbol State Description Into overridden Indicates that the data point is overridden. Alarm Indicates that the data point for the alarm is skipped.
9.3.2 Setup trend view Access and format trend views There are two ways to format trend views: ∂ By formatting a user-default trend view. This is then be the basis for all new trend views ∂ By modifying the properties of a trend view when it is currently active, and then saving this as the new user default. Tip The advantage of formatting a user-default trend view is that all new trend views initially have the same look and feel.
9.3.3 Define default Format trend view properties To set up the default trend view chart property sheet: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. In the Trend Viewer: Select Tools > User Defaults…. Define in the Properties tab. Click Apply. Click OK. All data is saved. To save the data as the default, click File > Save as user default. Note The trend view is customized. Trend View Whenever you modify an element in the property sheet, the change is displayed in the trend view.

There is also an “auto-start” option for minimized online trend views. 1.
Creating an online trend 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Select File > New or New to open a new trend view in the Trend Viewer. Select the System tab in the System Browser and open the Browser View by clicking +. Click the desired data point object. Holding down the left mouse button, drag the object onto the trend view chart area and release the mouse button. A data legend now appears at the bottom of the chart, showing the properties of this data point, and trending commences immediately.
Exit trend view 1. 2. 3. 4. Note More on saving is described in the section below. Click Save to save the file. Define a file name and click Save. Click to exit trend view. Click Yes to close the trend view window. Trend view exits. 9.4.3 General overview Create offline trend views The main difference between online and offline trend views is that data saved to either the offline or archived trend databases can only be accessed via the Extended System Browser in Trend Viewer.
The diagram illustrates this scenario: Trend Viewer (client) PX data upload Normal data request Trend Log Object t PX controller As can be seen, it is possible to mix the data from the two sources in one trend view. The curves are treated as separate series, however. The same situation can arise if there are several users operating Trend Viewer.
4. 5. 6. Upload note Click Upload. If the checkbox is not selected, only the new data is uploaded (normal scenario). Click OK after the trend data has been uploaded successfully. Select the next Trend Log object or click Close. ∂ All data in memory is uploaded if Upload all data is checked. The result is the previously archived data is uploaded again and then immediately archived. So that the data is archived twice in Desigo Insight and available in different archives.
The “time window” can be moved and resized with the mouse. If the time range is greater than 24 hours, the central field of the time-range scroll bar shows the number of days, e.g. “366 days 12:00”. Note To bypass the rounding mechanism for the time span, hold the Ctrl key while sliding the time-range scroll bar. Scroll the stat and end times Reference Caution Link different trend views: To scroll through past data of a currently selected online trend: 1. 2.
Note Only the time ranges of the trend views is synchronized to the currently selected view. It is therefore important to ensure that you select the correct initial view from which to link all other views. Zoom The zoom function allows you to select a time range area in the currently selected trend view by effectively “zooming” in on the “X” and “Y” axis. To “zoom in” on a time range: 1. 2. 3. Click Toggle Zoom on the toolbar. Position the magnifying glass on the chart range for the desired position.
9.4.5 General Saving Trend data When online trend views are created, the associated change-of-value data series are stored in the memory. If you require this data for retrieval via a trend view at a later date, you must save it in the offline trend database.
Save snapshot If you are interested in the information associated with the currently displayed trend view, you can create a “Snapshot Save”. This saves trend view settings along with the displayed trend data. To save a snapshot of the current trend view: 1. 2. 3. 4. Select Data > Snapshot… or Snapshot on the toolbar. Since this is a “one-shot" operation: clicking the button starts the process only. A Snapshot Save As dialog box appears, with the default name Snapshot_[Trend View Name] and the extension .
Desigo Insight project folder saves as online trend views trend view folder Note Trend Viewer must be running to open a trend view directly from the Windows Explorer. You can double-click files directly from Windows Explorers or drag to a trend view.
Closing trend views automatically saves the configuration settings. To modify an existing trend view and save the new settings, overwriting the old settings: 1. 2. 3. Select File > Save. OR Click Save on the toolbar. The file is save as soon as the file name differs from “Trend View 1.tvw” etc. If the file name is the same as a default name, i.e. “TndView1.tvw”, you are prompted in the Save As… dialog box to change the name.
9.4.7 View archived trend data Archive overview Current data from the trend database is moved during the archival process to the archive database without deleting the data. Why archive? Main reasons for archiving data from the offline database: – To limit the size of the offline database. Thus increasing the speed of the find function and extended browser function. Display of newly selected data series is also accelerated in a trend view. – To reduce offline trend view to a reasonable time period, e.g.
Selecting an archive 1. Select File > Open Archive…. A dialog box is then displayed showing the available archives: 2. The archive files are identified by the time and date stamp of the first and the last entries. The small icons have the following meaning: This “filling tank” icon means the archive file is not full. More data may be added when the next archive operation is performed. This “full tank” icon means the archive file is full (according to the archive criteria selected).
Checksum symbols Symbol Description The archive's data contents are verified and ok. The calculated checksum matches the archive file. Why do I have to open an archive? What happens if I mount all my archives? The archive's data contents are not ok. The calculated checksum does not match the archive file. Possible cause: Data contents may have been changed. When a database is archived, it is converted into a compressed format which cannot be viewed directly.
Note From the above table it can be seen that the “Data Label” and “Browser” options do not copy graphic images to the clipboard. Copy data To copy data and graphics to the clipboard from a trend view: 1. 2. Right-click anywhere on the chart area to display a context menu. Select Edit > Copy. The graphic is copied to the clipboard. Note You cannot export bitmaps or data direct to file from Trend Viewer: You must do so via the clipboard.

10 About this section This section is designed to help you program time switching functions (Desigo PX automation station) on the Desigo Insight management station. 10.1 Principle Time scheduler Introduction to time scheduling You can program switch times for time control of your plant using either the management station or any PXM10 / PXM20 operator unit. Both methods access the same data, which is stored in the PX automation station itself.
Local device exception Controls, above all, holiday programs that cannot be executed via the global site exception program. ∂ Local device exceptions are always limited to one PX automation station. ∂ Normally engineered for one plant. Functions concept priority The functional concept for scheduling is based on the elements (weekly schedule, global site exception, local device exception) as well as a priority added to each element. Control occurs based on the lower priority if multiple entries are valid.
Multiple management stations Within Desigo Insight only one instance of Time Scheduler can run on any one management station. In the case of multiple management stations, Time Scheduler can run on each individual station. If they access the same weekly schedule or exception one after the other, then the last change made takes effect. Add new weekly schedule It is not possible to create new weekly schedules via the management station with this version.

11.5 Enter user log entries manually Purpose The system does not automatically capture all relevant user actions (e.g. maintenance work in a plant). It might be important to be able to track these activities at a later stage, and it is therefore useful to enter them in the log database.
11.7 View archived log data Archive overview The archiving of log, audit and/or trend data in your Desigo Insight system normally have been set up by the commissioning engineer. The archiving may be configured to take place on the basis of elapsed time, or number of database entries. Once the archives have been created, the database can be opened and the data series can then be viewed and manipulated in the Log Viewer. Note Checksum calculation ensures data integrity of archive data.
Status display archive Database symbols: The following information is displayed in the status bar when a trend archive is opened: Symbol Description Contents displayed in the Trend book are supplied from the Trend database. Contents displayed in the Trend book are supplied from the Trend archive. Checksum symbols Symbol Description The archive's data contents are verified and ok. The calculated checksum matches the archive file. The archive's data contents are not ok.
12 Report Viewer Report Viewer documents plant states. It is helpful during operation as well as in the event of a fault. The report has the following advantages over a print out from the Alarm Viewer, Log Viewer or Object Viewer: ∂ The report can be prepared and created at anytime. ∂ Data can be filtered in a comprehensive manner: – By data point address – By data point states ∂ Data export possible (.xls, .csv, pdf). ∂ The report can be created automatically together with the reaction processor.
Terms in the Report Viewer Terms Report definition Standard report definition Batch definition Reaction Processor 12.1 The report definition contains the data acquisition settings for the report. Standard report definitions are delivered with Desigo Insight. The batch definition is created automatically by the reaction processor only. The Reaction Processor is a program in Desigo Insight, which automatically runs defined actions (e.g. run batch definition) based on events.
12.2.1 Alarm report Data from the alarm database The alarm report displays current alarms. The data is read from the Desigo Insight alarm database. Filter alarms An alarm report without filters displays all alarm entries from the alarm database. Filters define alarm reports for individual alarm states (example: standard report definitions). Standard report definition Filter All alarms No filter.
12.2.3 System report Data from the System database The System report displays project information. This data is read from the Desigo Insight System database. You can customize and configure the options in the System report using Report Definition dialog box. Report Definition Report Definition dialog box has 10 different tabs that allows you to choose the desired options which are displayed in the System report.
System Report System report is generated as per the configured options. Example: In User Groups Tab, you have selected specific previleges from the Insight Programs group in the Report Definition dialog box. The selected privileges are displayed in the report. 91 / 184 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Operating the management station, V6.
12.2.4 Point report Data from the system The point report displays certain states for the desired data points. In contrast to the alarm report and log report, data is read directly from the automation station.

Note: An action is assigned automatically when the Action Name field is blank. Action: Start Report Example: A report is created in this workflow as an action and saved as a file. 1. In the reaction editor, click the Action tab. 2. Click Add…. The Action dialog opens. 3. Select the action Start Report Batch. 4.
13.7 Define time range A time range is required for each time condition that has a time series as a trigger or a time range as a filter. Start date End date (1) M (2) T W M F S S (3) (4) (5) Start time End time The time range is compiled hierarchically: (1) Date range (2) Valid days of week (3) Exceptions (include, exclude) Thus defining all valid days. This is further limited by the time of day.
Notes An unlimited date range cannot be entered directly. It must be defined with a date in the long-term future (e.g. 31.12.2030). Previously defined calendars from the scheduler cannot be used. Tip A logical outline of the calendar entries makes it easier to maintain an overview. 13.7.2 Defined phased time range Prerequisites The fields for time range entry are enabled: – Open the desired reaction entry in the reaction editor. – The Condition tab (upper) is selected.
13.8.1 Trigger Data Point Trigger A trigger sets the condition that a data point value or a time was reached. The following triggers are available: The data point trigger continuously compares a certain data point value with the set conditions, e.g. value match (=) or change of value (COV). It immediately triggers the action when the condition is met. Value match Time trigger (one-time) Value match The time trigger (one-time) immediately triggers the action at the defined time.
13.8.2 Filter A filter sets the condition requiring a certain data point value or that a certain period has started. The following filters are available: Data Point Filter The data point filter blocks all triggers until the defined data point value meets the condition. Condition OK Time Filter Condition OK The time filters all triggers until the defined time range commences.
The action is only triggered when the filter condition is already met upon fulfillment of the trigger condition. 13.9 Fundamentals on write value / release value The Reaction Processor can write certain values to BACnet objects with the action Write Values. The action Release Values serves to delete values in the priority array (e.g. I/O objects). You cannot write to wired pins for BACnet objects.Values may also be written to other subsystems (e.g. VISONIK). This is not described here. Note 13.9.
OpModMan OpModMan (manual intervention) The object OpModMan.PrVal is often used to manually switch an entire plant (On/Off from the Plant Viewer). This makes it easy to implement a manual intervention by the reaction processor. CmdVal CmdVal (Command Value) When no suitable OpModMan object exists in the plant, a corresponding CmdVal object can be overridden. It is important that it is located in the uppermost program hierarchy.
14 Scopes What is a scope? A scope is a generic term for specific object access within Desigo Insight. As a result, only specific objects are visible to individual users (user scope), i.e. users only see objects assigned to them (e.g. as per the related task). Thus, only these objects can be acknowledged in case of error. Users then do not receive information (popup) from objects outside their user scope.
Area scope Discipline scope User The area and discipline scopes restrict object display as per the defined rules. Area scope Discipline scope The area and discipline scopes can be defined individually for each user and different from the user group. Individual scopes can be activated or deactivated. Thus, the user configuration overrides the user group configuration. User configuration principally follows the user group configuration. 14.
Navigation Top Page A1 Page H1 Page A2 Building 1 Area 1 Page A1 Building 2 Page A2 Area 1 Building 2 Page H1 Area 2 Explanation: ∂ The user can view the top page, but not the navigation on page H1. ∂ The user cannot view graphic phase and objects of Area 2 (defined in graphic engineering). ∂ The user can view all objects of Building 1, but cannot operate them (view not defined in scopes).
14.4 Define scopes Only few persons may define scopes in a project, to ensure that object display corresponds to project requirements and is consistent. 14.4.1 Scope rules syntax A scope rule comprises an object address and wildcard. A scope is formed from one or several scope rules. SiteA:#’#’FanEx?’* SiteA:#’#’TRRoom{A1..C3}’* Scope rule wildcard Description The asterisk acts as wildcard for one or several characters in the string including field delimiters.
14.4.2 Create scope Area scope Discipline scope The workflow to create an area or discipline scope is identical. The scopes differ by their application: ∂ If a scope is used as an OR link to another scope, it is defined as the same scope type. ∂ If a scope is used as an AND link with another scope, it is defined as another scope type. The scopes are stored in the corresponding folder. Notes ∂ The number of scopes for areas or discipline is not limited. ∂ A defined scope has max. 50 scope rules.
∂ 8. 9. ∂ Description ∂ Object not part of scope. ∂ ∂ Object not part of scope, but ∂ lower objects are part of scope. ∂ Object part of scope. ∂ Repeat Steps 6 and 7 to defined the scope rules. Click OK. The area scope is saved along with the rules. Symbol Edit scope rule Right-click the rule to edit, copy or delete the rule. Notes ∂ Note syntax when editing the scope rules. ∂ Note that too many objects are displayed when * and very short texts are used (e.g. *TR shows the objects: TR, TCtr).
14.5 Configure user scope Prerequisites – The user group is defined. Site and object access is configured. – Desired area and discipline scopes defined. Scope assignment is clear. – Max. 25 scopes can be assigned to a user group or user. User group The following workflow shows how to configure a user scope for a user group. 1. Click "System Configurator" on the Desigo Insight taskbar. 2. Select Desigo Insight BAC System > User Group. 3. Right-click User Group. Select Properties…. 4.

Weighting should be used if an object directly influences propagation is abnormal. OK state 3 KPS are engineered in the project with a weighting of 1. Propagation in the object tree (OK = 66%) is displayed as OK when an abnormality occurs for an object.
15.2 Work with Eco Viewer You must have the appropriate rights to start Eco Viewer. 1. Click "Eco Viewer" on the Desigo Insight toolbar. All objects are displayed. Start Eco Viewer OR 1. Click "Eco Viewer" objects. on the Desigo Insight taskbar. The view is filtered to the OR 1. Select Desigo Insight > Desigo Insight Programs... > Eco Viewer. The Eco Viewer starts and calculates all objects corresponding to your user scope.
2. Click Confirm. The corresponding KPIs are rest and once again displays the normal state . OR 3. Select the object, e.g. Vlv: Displays all KPIs for the object. 4. 5. Highlight the objects for confirmation. Right-click the object, e.g. Vlv, and select Confirm Limit Violation.... 6. Click Confirm. The corresponding KPIs are reset and once again display the normal state .
1. 2. 3. In the Eco browser, select the object. Associated trend log objects are displayed in the trend list. Select the corresponding trend log object. In the Trends column, click View. The trend viewer opens. Send to 1. 2. View in object viewer In the Eco browser, select the object. Right-click and select Send to > "desired application". The selected application opens. Eco Monitoring objects do not display dynamic changes in the object viewer.
15.2.2 Enable and disable objects Disable KPS objects You can disable individual objects during a fault. Disabled objects are no longer considered for the overall performance. 1. 2. 3. In the Eco browser, select the desired object hierarchy. All subordinate objects are displayed in the object list. Select the object to disable. Click link Disable. Note Object must be engineered accordingly to disable. Only one log database entry is made to disable.
The propagation formula has two parameters that are individual for each project. They impact all management stations as well as all sites: ∂ Limit_for_active: The virtual KPS is considered inactive if the value is not reach. ∂ Limit_for_ok: The KPS is once again considered OK if the virtual KPS is active and the limits reached; otherwise not ok.
15.4 General Edit KPS and KPI All KPIs must be assigned upper and lower limits in order to make a meaningful evaluation of your plant. A message is sent out for the KPI if this limit is exceeded. If multiple KPIs are available for a function, another message is sent to the KPS object based on the weighting of the faulty KPIs. KPI weighting can only be edited on automation stations with the appropriate tool. You can influence KPS weighting to propagate states in the Eco browser.
4. Edit additional objects and click OK. Note The edit symbols are no longer displayed if you close the edit pane with OK and then re-open it. KPI weighting Only XWORKS plus can edit weighting. Edit KPI limits The entered values for KPI limits trigger a log message when breached. The information is reported to the KPS as an abnormal state (depending in KPI weighting). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. In the Eco browser, select the desired object hierarchy. All underlying objects are displayed in the object list.
15.5 Print Print and export 1. 2. Select the object hierarchy for print. Select a filter as needed (All, not OK or inactive). 3. Click . The print preview opens. 4. Select output: ∂ Print ∂ Export ∂ Excel ∂ PDF ∂ Word 5. Print or save the print preview. 15.6 Display ECO information 1. 2. Eco display in plant viewer Right-click the plant viewer taskbar.

16 General Caution Backup project To retain the value of your plant, it is absolutely necessary to backup a project at regular intervals. The operator, and not Siemens Building Technologies, is responsible for backing up project. Siemens Building Technologies assume no liability for loss of data. Backup process Data is stored in data bases and are maintained and administered from one level of SQL server on a local or remote management station or Windows-Server.
Saving a project 1. 2. 3. Double-click the Project Utility icon on your desktop OR Start > Programs > Desigo Insight Vx.x > Project Utility. Select Open this catalog now and click OK. Select the project to be banked up in the Project Utility (generally the active project). 4. 5. On the toolbar, click or select Project > Backup.... Click the corresponding checkbox in the Project Backup Wizard and click Next >. 6. 7. 8. Enter the project backup description and click Next >.
16.1 Schedule automatic processes Overview Project Utility processes can be completed based on time/date together with the script files. Important Project Utility must be executed on the project data server where the SQL Server Express Manager is operating. SQL Server Express Manager have all rights to access backup target folders. Create script files 1. 2. Execute the desired process, e.g.
Setting up the Scheduled Tasks application Windows 7 has a scheduled task application to automate project backups. Requirements as of Desigo V5.0 A file WScript.exe.config must be created and copied to the System32 folder for JS script to run under Windows 7. Create task 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

17 FAQ 17.1 Alarm handling What if the management station is switched off? In the case of a stand-alone management station, all routing is suspended. Alarms are buffered in the PX automation stations, so that upon restart, they all are routed to receivers as usual. Their time stamps are the time of alarm event, not of reception at the management station or receiver. The PXM10 / PXM20 continue to provide an alarm interface irrespective of the management station status.
E-mail Once the mail has been transferred to the SMTP server, you have no chance to delete the message. The final recipient must delete them from their e-mail In-tray. What is “Priority” in the Alarm Routing Table? In the case that a large number of messages to a single receiver may be buffered by Alarm Router, that is they appear in the Pending Jobs table, then it is possible to assign a priority to the routing.
How do I modify the priority of an Alarm / Status event? You can’t. It is fixed during the engineering of the PX automation station and can only be changed there. Can I modify the colors of the alarm summary icons on the taskbar? This can be done via System Configurator > Insight Programs > Alarm Viewer Properties > Priority Groups. How can I modify the texts describing the alarm priority? This is done by System Configurator, in the Building Automation System properties, tab Priority text.
17.2 What happens when exceptions overlap Scheduler When a local and a global exception overlap in time, and give conflicting instructions, then the local exception has priority. You can tell if there are overlapping exceptions by close examination of the time periods via the Overview tab: Here two device exceptions are overlapping: this is indicated by the fact that there are four arrow heads within one apparently continuous red "exception" line.
