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
integrate 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
computational 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
intelligence to the Desigo CC™ Connect node, the software can decentralize functionalities
such as: data collection, event collection, calendar functions, time scheduling, time-based
functions, mathematical/logic calculations, reactions, logics and data interactions.
Desigo CC™ Connect software gateway is flexible and able to manage complex
requirements 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 level via the Restful API or via the OPC Interface.
System Architecture
Desigo CC™ Connect is a gateway server designed to augment existing building
infrastructure and integrate with standard IT hardware, software, and networks. The open,
adaptable architecture can support virtual IT environments and advanced networks.
