11 Macros
Macros are predefined lists of instructions that enable you to send out a sequence
of commands to specified devices with a single action. Some macros can be
started manually by the operator, while others may be run automatically by the
system as part of preconfigured schedules (for time-based functions) or automatic
reactions.
Macros are also used to issue multiple command actions. The system includes
some predefined macros that are automatically created at configuration time and
appear in a list visible to high security level users. The exact number of these
macros is configuration-dependent. System macros are stored in dedicated
subfolders and used to perform certain control actions, such as sending block
commands to fire control panels, or activate system backup functions.
This section describes how work with Desigo CC Macros.
