5.2 Access levels
Desigo assigns each data point / BACnet object one of the following object access levels:
# English Description
0 No access Special objects that are not displayed on the runtime system
1 Internal Special objects/pins for very special tasks
2 Extended service Not used in the HQ solution
3 Basic service Objects/pins that are important for commissioning
4 Administrator Not used in the HQ solution
5 Extended operation Objects/pins for operating & monitoring by trained personnel
6 Standard operation Objects/pins for day-to-day operating & monitoring on the management station
7 Basic operation The most important information for room users
Primary plants: Rarely used
The access level is application specific. It is set to allow each user to display the appropriate data points. The
access level of a data point can be viewed and edited in CFC.
Primary plant
Each pin for a data point has its own access level. The data points receive the access level for pin PrVal during
learning in Desigo Control Point.
Room automation
Each data point has only one access level.
Third-party devices and systems
Third-party devices and systems do not know the access levels for the data points. The function "Data point
integration" integrates all data points.
User role
Each user role has a defined access level applicable to the user. The user can filter the displayed data points
within the assigned access level to improve the overview.
Graphics-based operation
The access levels are also used to limit the number of integrated data points.
We recommend the following access levels for integration if each integrated data point is fully graphically
operated:
● Extended operation for Desigo primary automation stations
● Standard operation for Desigo room automation stations
● No access levels are available for BACnet third-party automation stations. As a consequence, all data points
are always selected by default.
The data points can be integrated at the lowest access level if no graphical operation is required.
The selection of integrated data points can be optimized and individually customized in the data point integration
function using Advanced Tools. The tool can individually select or exclude data points.
The alarm view is NOT based on the integrated data points. For assigned devices, all objects in an alarm state
are always displayed regardless of whether or not the corresponding object was integrated.
