Data Integrity
The TALON Automation System data integrity is verified through system validation. This ensures that the TALON Automation System meets the User Requirement specifications.
Protection of Records
1.10 (b), 11.10 (c)
Password security and physical
security must be enabled at the field
panels. It is recommended that a
binary door monitoring switch be
added to each field panel used to
collect information and that local
access capability be disabled.
It is recommended that power be
sourced from an uninterrupted power
supply (UPS) and the UPS is
sourced from emergency power grid.
This practice eliminates loss of data
due to power blackouts, brownouts,
surges, or dips.
Desigo CC software retains complete copies of system records in both
human readable and electronic form, available for inspection, review
and copying.

This practice eliminates loss of data due to power blackouts,
brownouts, surges, or dips.
Install robust server designs with built-in redundancy to protect data
stored on the server hard disk. Execute adequate SOPs that regularly
back up critical electronic records.
Access to the system is controlled using Windows integrated security.
Users do not have to manage a unique set of usernames and
passwords. Using each individual’s domain account name and
password, the system can detect user access and can grant them
access to only those functions they are authorized to use. This access
control is used to determine what functions a user can use, what they
can view, print or otherwise have access.
Datamate Advanced software retains complete copies of system records
in both human readable and electronic form, available for inspection,
review and copying.
Access to the system is controlled using Windows integrated security. It is
recommended that access capability be limited to selected individuals and
their supervisor.
Desigo CC and Datamate
Advanced Servers are
synchronized with Network Time.
All components with time functions
in the Automation System are
automatically synchronized to the
system server daily.
Redundancy of network
components is recommended to
ensure protection of records.
Trend
It is necessary to collect Trend Data
from field panels
as often as possible
to mitigate and/or significantly reduce
possible loss of data stored in panel
RAM. This design consideration must
be considered in detail in
specifications and validated.
The ability to change Trend Definitions is restricted by Desigo CC
Access and Privileges. It is recommended that access capability be
limited to a single individual and their supervisor.
The ability to change Trend Definitions is restricted by Datamate
Advanced Access and Privileges. It is recommended that access

Alarms
Alarm configuration is part of the
Point Definition database
.
System alarm transaction records are automatically managed by the
Desigo CC application. The ability to change Alarm parameters in
Point Definitions is restricted by Access and Privileges. It is
recommended that access capability be limited to a single individual
and their supervisor.

System Activity
At the field panel, local system
access is not recommended. All
system changes should be made
using Desigo CC software to ensure
a complete audit trail of all changes.
Desigo CC software will acquire records as they are created, lock
them down in a secure database, provide the ability to retain them for
a user definable and/or indefinite time and provide modern
reporting functionality to visualize the data.
Records of changes made using Datamate Advanced software must be
printed periodically for secure, long-term storage. Records can be printed
to paper or saved as PDF files.
