Characteristics
BACnet Standard Revision
Desigo CC supports BACnet protocol Revision 1.13, certified by BACnet Testing
Laboratory as BACnet Advanced Workstation Software (BTL B-AWS).
In Addition, on sites with Desigo Automation Systems, EDE Import capabilities
have been extended to support hierarchical Views and Alias names. BACnet auto
discovery provides support for complete acquisition of engineering data for all
BACnet devices, including semantic aggregations and views.
IEC 61850
Desigo CC supports native IEC61850 communication for electrical substation
automation systems, such as power meters, power quality meters and circuit
breakers
Benefits
Desigo CC is an open platform supporting standard protocols such as BACnet,
Modbus, IEC 61850 and OPC, all of which make it possible to connect and
integrate 3rd party subsystems in a single management and control system. In
addition, Desigo CC can exchange data with external hosts over the Web Service
interface based on REST software architecture.
Customer Value
Desigo CC can easily interoperate with subsystems such as 3rd party fire panels
(where allowed by code), security panels, automation controllers, meters and so
on, equipped with a standard protocol.
This enables customers to preserve their existing investments over a long time,
and to expand/update their system by adding new devices and subsystems.
