Configuration Editors

We need the following to integrate a system in Desigo CC: Interrelated Object Model, Function, and Instance. All created objects are saved as data points in the platform data base.

Configuring Object Models

Object Models must be created and changed in the Models & Function Editor; Function data mapping in the related Object Model. An Object Model is required for each data type for the corresponding system. This is required since not all object types for a given system have the same information characteristics.

Function Configuration

Function is the abstract functionality of an object and must be created or edited using the Models & Function Editor. The type and number of mapping rules for a Function can be freely selected. Temperature is, for example, a Function. It covers the object functions of a group for supply, extract and room air, and so on. It does not make sense to create a Function, for example, for each individual object, for instance, supply air temperature. This would only result in a large number of specialized Functions that provide few to no additional benefits.

Object Configuration

Instances are customized and may be modified using the Object Configurator. They reflect the number of integrated objects from the project. The operator can modify these instances as needed (for example, record history data or set up management platform alarm).

Information

NOTE:
The open design requires a corresponding Object Model for each data point integrated into Desigo CC. The number of Object Models depends each time on the system to be integrated.

The Models & Functions Editor defines the information relevant to engineering for system objects, for example, detectors or fans. It typically defines the symbol to select during engineering or the operating information to be displayed as per the corresponding user rights. The operator can also define and configure management platform alarms using the Object Configurator.

Object Model Editor

The Object Configurator is used to define the Object Model for each data type on your system, for example, Analog Input.

	Function/Dialog	Description
1	Models & Functions	Switches between the Object Model and the Functions Editor. The editor depends on the selected type (Object Model or Function).
2	Mode	Shows the corresponding Object Model Editor mode.
3	Object Configurator	Object Configurator tab to process project instances.
4	Main expander	Basic settings for the corresponding Object Model.
5	Toolbar	Toolbar for Object Models, Functions, and the Object Configurator.
6	Properties expander	Lists all properties for the corresponding object.
7	Function Mapper	Define mapping for Function properties for the Object Model properties.
8	Symbols expander	Symbols for the object, whereby a symbol may be defined as the default symbol.
9	Details expander	Detailed configuration of Value Attributes, Display as well as Status. The display of Value Attributes depends on the properties.
10	Alarm Configuration expander	Alarm configuration of individual object properties.
11	Command Configuration expander	Command configuration of individual object properties.

Main

In the Main expander, you can:

Define the default property
Assign presets for electrical and mechanical installation
Define the response when creating new objects

	Name	Description
1	Object Name	Object Model designation.
2	Default Property	Defines the default property when none is assigned. This property displays in the Textual Viewer.

10	Default name	The default name is assumed when creating a child.
11	Limit of children	Limit release for the number of possible children. Defines the maximum number of child objects.

Object Name

Describes the name of the selected Object Model. It is derived from the platform type and must be unique within the system. Object Model names are not localized.

Object Model

Default Property

The defined default property is inherited from the corresponding applications or the Desigo CC Viewer.

Managed Type

Managed type defines navigation from System Browser to the corresponding application. For example, the Data Point Type scheduler can directly open the Scheduler application from System Browser.

Presets

Discipline, Subdiscipline, Type, Subtype

The selected information helps specify the Function for which an Object Model is used in the building.

Presets
Discipline	Subdiscipline	Type	Subtype
Building Automation	Air Handling	Sensor	Frost
Building Infrastructure	Elevators	Detector	Door
Energy Management	Power Distribution	Switch	Binary
Security	Door Control	Detector	Door

Information

NOTE:
Entries for Discipline, Subdiscipline, Type and Subtype have a direct influence on search criteria in Desigo CC.

Object Creation

Parent

One Desigo CC child object may possess multiple parents and may be recursive. Recursivity of an Object Model means that the same Object Model type may be added at one hierarchy level lower.

Example of Object Models
Network	Device	Analog Input
Field network	Network	Device
	Aggregator	Aggregator
	Device

Object Models may be added to this Object Model. The number of parents is unlimited.

Remove

The selected parent element is deleted.

Limit number of children

Defines the maximum number of child objects. For example, setting a child element (for example printer) to a maximum of 2 allows you to define a server printer and an SNMP printer.

Generic create

When selected, a child object for the associated Object Model can be edited in the Object Configurator.

Generic delete

When selected, a child object for the associated Object Model can be deleted in the Object Configurator.

View Type Used for Mapping

Information

NOTE:
Always use the same mapping view within a system. Otherwise, Desigo CC may not be able to trigger the objects.

Mapping Types

For detailed information on individual options, see Data Model.

Simple
The direct mapping of a Function property to the current Object Model.

Example: The Temperature_Sensor Function maps the Value property to the Object Model property Present_Value.

Functional
The mapping algorithm starts at the current object and looks for an object with this Function assigned in all child objects in the view selected in View type used for mapping. Mapping to a specific property of such a Function is possible after such an object is found. Then, the property of this Function is mapped to the associated object using the Function Mapper.

Example: The Temperature_Sensor Function maps the Value property to the Temperature_Sensor_1 Function.

Extended
The path is used to navigate to a child object in the related view as well as to map the configured property of such an object.
Mixed
This type of mapping is similar to the Functional mapping type. It allows users to add a path to the child object; the path is then used to start the selected Functional mapping algorithm. This type can be used to resolve issues, for example, two pumps in a pre-heater with the Function Pump assigned to both. In this case, the pump name can be reference to ensure unique mapping.

Information

NOTE:
The Functional, Extendend and Mixed mapping types are used to map child objects. These mapping types serve no purpose if there is no hierarchy.
