General Description
Desigo CC™ Connect is a gateway between systems with different protocols. Desigo CC™
Connect as a software platform, incorporates the industry’s latest software technology to in-
tegrate BACnet, Modbus, KNX, M-bus, SNMP, S7 and various disciplines (for example,
Danger Management), into a common object model and is supported by a powerful compu-
tational engine.
The Desigo CC™ Connect with its own intelligence, has less need to send information back
to a central server because of the embedded interpretation capability. By moving more intel-
ligence to the Desigo CC™ Connect node, the software can decentralize functionalities such
as: data collection, event collection, calendar functions, time scheduling, time-based func-
tions, mathematical/logic calculations, reactions, logics and data interactions.
Desigo CC™ Connect software gateway is flexible and able to manage complex require-
ments in small or large scaled projects, where distribution of computational effort is required.
The software is enabling seamless integration at the IP level and provides a full engineering
environment. In addition Desigo CC™ Connect is able to expose information to a higher lev-
el via the Restful API, the BACnet or via the OPC Northbound Interface.
System Architecture
Desigo CC™ Connect is a gateway server designed to augment existing building infrastruc-
ture and integrate with standard IT hardware, software, and networks. The open, adaptable
architecture can support virtual IT environments and advanced networks.
