Example: Data Processing in System

During data processing, the data is taken over for display and evaluation, or supplemented to correspond to the mapping below. Missing information is taken over from the next lower information source if possible.

The illustration below outlines the flow of information from a project data point (for example, Outside and Supply) up to visualization in Desigo CC.

Explanation of Above Example

Project Data

Imported project data includes detailed information, in this case the Max/Min limitations for the given data point as well as the online value. These Max/Min values are taken over as limitations by Desigo CC operation.

Instances

The following project information is not included in the instances and needs to be added:

  • Which graphic symbol is required.
  • What object properties are listed on the Contextual pane.
  • What can be commanded.
  • Function, or if not defined, the Object Model, provides the missing information.

Object Configurator

The operator creates a Management Station alarm in the Object Configurator.

Function

Function provides a number of temperature symbols for the use of temperature. They are displayed during graphics engineering for the given data point.

The definition of the Contextual pane or commanding is defined in this case at Function.

Max/Min limitations are not relevant for the data points, since the information is specified in the project data.

Object Model

The basic information is defined in the Analog Input Object Model. An alpha numeric display symbol is defined for graphics engineering.

Corresponding presettings are defined for operation, commanding and Max/Min limitations. They are only used if no corresponding information is available in Function or the project data.

User Interface

Display information for a data point is comprised of:

  • Online and status values supplied by the process
  • Max/Min limitations supplied by project

Detailed information on the various application types is described below.
