5 is the recommended number. More clients can be connected, but performance deteriorates when the same operations are
performed simultaneously. Example: Simultaneous load of the same plant graphic to 10 clients.
2
Trend data management must be configured according as part of the online trend configuration.
10,000 trend entries can be recorded from:
● 1 trend entry daily over a minimum of 25 years
● 1 trend entry every hour over a minimum of 1 year
● 1 trend entry every 15 minutes over a minimum of 3 months
3
The time to read a BACnet trendlog object depends on the number of entries and the data link.
Desigo Control Point is optimized for BACnet/IP devices which are supporting COV communication. The objects
of an assigned device will automatically be polled if the device does not support COV. Polling causes a higher
network communication load. This can decrease the overall performance of the Desigo Control Point device,
depending on the BACnet device and on the type of communication (MS/TP). Such topologies must be tested
individually and project specifically.
