3.1.2.2 How the semantic tags create structure in the system
Semantic tags are used to open a graphic in the context of a
target
, which is a specific
equip (for example, an AHU plant) or site (for example, a building). Therefore, the
target is the equip or site where the components bind to display values and states.
The following figure provides more information on how the semantic tags help create
structure in the system.
①
Root of the database
This is the top-most level of the building structure for all Desigo Control Point devices that are being
monitored. You cannot access or modify the tags at this level of the hierarchy.
②
Site level of the building structure
The site tag represents a building or other type of facility with a unique street address. In this
example, both Building and Default site have a site tag.
③
Equipment assets
The equip tag represents an equipment asset, which is often a physical asset, such as an AHU,
boiler, or chiller. An equip tag can also be used for a logical grouping, such as a chiller plant.
④
Nested equip tags
The equip tag can be used in multiple levels of the building structure. In this example, the Heating
coil and Supply air VAV also have equip tags. Additional tags are applied to these objects so that
they can be uniquely identified. For example, the Heating coil also has the cascade, coil, equip,
heating, hot and water tags.
