Integration on the automation level
PX Open system controllers let you integrate third-party devices on Modbus,
M-Bus, KNX and other protocols, by converting all data into standard BACnet
objects.
Integration on the field level
TXIx.OPEN lets you integrate third-party systems, such as M-Bus meters,
pumps (Grundfos, Wilo) and variable speed drives (Siemens G120P), and
connect intelligent aggregates, e.g., chillers, via the Modbus protocol.
3.6 Workflow and tools
The Desigo tools cover parts of the technical process and parts of the Desigo
system:
● Desigo Configuration Module (DCM) lets you plan the system and
determine the quantity during the sales phase.
● Xworks Plus (XWP) lets you engineer, commission and service Desigo PX
system components.
● ABT Pro and ABT Site (Automation Building Tool) let you engineer,
commission and service Desigo (BACnet) system components.
● PX KNX-Tool lets you commission and service PX KNX.
● Desigo CC Graphics Generator lets you automatically generate Desigo CC
plant graphics using information from the System Definition Unit (SDU) and
XWP.
● System Definition Unit (SDU) lets you define application texts in different
languages.
● PX Open MONITOR lets you debug PX Open programs.
● TX Open tool lets you configure and commission TX Open modules.
● BIM tool lets you:
– Commission TX-I/O modules and the Bus Interface Modules (BIM)
– Simulate programs without I/O modules on the test rack
– Configure the colors of the I/O status LED on the TX-I/O modules
● Desigo Automation Level Migration Tool lets you copy engineering
parameters, such as I/O addresses, texts, data point parameters, PID
controller parameters and trend objects, of a Visonik controller to a PX
automation station.
● Desigo Point Test (DPT) lets you test data points for field devices and PX
automation stations during commissioning.
Preloaded applications
Some automation stations contain preloaded applications, but are also freely
programmable. A comprehensive library of proven, standardized applications is
available and can be used instead of the preloaded applications.
XWP to PXC communication
XWP communicates with the PX automation station via BACnet/IP or
BACnet/LonTalk. The CFC or Parameter Editor can communicate online with
the PX automation stations. This is a useful aid both for commissioning and
testing the automation stations, and for operation and monitoring. The pin
values and some attributes of the compounds and blocks can be modified
online.
To commission a Lon-based PX automation station, XWP must be connected to
the same LonWorks network as the automation station. The program or
program changes can be downloaded via BACnet router or PTP connection,
which can also be used for monitoring and operation. The functionality to
configure and commission the BACnet router is integrated in the XWP Network
Configurator.
