Desigo – the innovative system for highest efficiency and safety in the building
Desigo
TM
is a modern building management system for a full breadth of application support ensuring that facilities remain comfortable,
productive, and achieve optimal energy and equipment performance. On top Desigo offers full integration of fire safety, and security
systems.
With system functions such as event management (events and alarms), time scheduling and trend logging, combined with advanced
control functions, Desigo is a highly versatile asset in a building. Innovative Web technology, powerful databases and open communica-
tion make Desigo a financially wise investment in the future. It is scalable from small to large buildings and optimized for single as well as
multiple disciplines.
Desigo is consistent in its support of open communication, making it easy to connect a wide variety of building services systems on the
basis of standard open data interfaces:
• BACnet
TM
from room automation to the management level
• Modbus, OPC client & server, MS/TP, M-bus and other interfaces for universal connection of third-party devices and systems
• Ethernet TCP/IP network protocol including IP device monitoring via SNMP
• ONVIF standard for network camera (IP video camera) systems
One system for every requirement
As an integration platform, Desigo CC™ is designed for a simultaneous connection to multiple systems and
use by multiple operators, each with their unique focus. With Desigo you can be assured of optimal system
performance of building automation and fire life safety applications. All building functions – including lighting,
power, video, and danger and energy management – can be integrated.
The workflow-oriented user interface of Desigo CC provides the same look, feel and operation to all connected
subsystems from small single-user systems to large multi-user installations. This brings integration to the next
level, a unification where tasks are not differentiated by the subsystem. Desigo CC unifies workflows and user
interfaces for supervisory tasks such as commanding, event handling, reporting, and scheduling.
A unique, extensible object modeling approach allows Desigo CC to normalize information brought in through any interface, and to pro-
vide the same look, feel and operation through a common set of applications, without concern for the source of the data.
Investment protection over the building’s entire life-cycle
With its flexible range of automation stations and operator units, Desigo is ideally suited for projects of all sizes and for all types of buil-
dings. Consistent compatibility protects investment over decades and throughout the entire building life-cycle. Desigo integrates existing
automation systems Visonik, Unigyr, Integral or Simatic seamlessly and carries them forward into the future. Changes in use, system
extension and retrofit projects can all be handled in gradual stages.
Existing installations and Desigo components such as the management station Desigo Insight are fully supported and can be supplemen-
ted with products and features of the latest generation.
Highest degree of energy efficiency
For building automation, the tested Desigo plant applications comply with European standard EN 15232
in the highest energy performance classes. Their use, for example, can reduce energy costs for volume
flow control of ventilation plants up to 30% compared to constant air volume control. In addition, a num-
ber of Desigo room applications are already eu.bac-certified.
The high level of overall Desigo system functionality is the prerequisite for eu.bac system certification.
Also, a number of Desigo room automation products have eu.bac product certification. The combination
of both certifications ensures the highest level of energy efficiency in the building.
Desigo offers monitoring functions by means of comprehensive indication of the efficiency status in
a building. The Green Leaf symbol indicates unnecessary energy consumption in the building to room
users. The room users can ensure interactively the highest possible building efficiency.
