App Client runs in its own pane, without the overhead of the internet browser
application and menus.
To use the Desigo CC Web and Windows App Clients, you must install the web
server. To install the web server, you must first install Microsoft IIS on the web
server computer. Usually the web server is on the Desigo CC server. It might be
located on a separate computer, if the customer's IT department requires the
web server to be installed in a separate controlled environment, or if it is
preferred not to use the resources of the system server for the Microsoft IIS
tasks.
The web server lets you to access the system using the intranet and a web
browser. You can add only one web server. It lets you download all files
required for the Web Client and Windows App Client environments. It provides a
system web page to access the Web Client, the Windows App Client, and the
system documentation in the Internet Explorer browser. It also represents the
endpoint of the communication with the system server.
A Front End Processor (FEP) is a computer that provides additional
connections between building level devices (such as field panels) and Desigo
CC. By providing additional connections to the building level network, an FEP
enables load balancing for the network-based processing for a Desigo CC
system.
Desigo CC covers a wide variety of solutions so that it is impossible to define
simple rules for determining the size. Therefore, a system dimensioning tool is
available that estimates the system size and disk storage space on the basis of
information available at the time of the offer, e.g., the number and type of
physical points and the expected history data base contents.

The Graphics application allows you to view the configured graphics
representing your facility or equipment. You can change the current state of an
object's properties from a graphic, filter your view of a graphic by discipline and
section and you can zoom in and out for greater detail or for a birds-eye
overview.
All available process data of a system can be recorded and applied to
operational optimization. This lets you record information on plant states,
temperature curves, switching states, and counter values in a form that is
suitable for your purposes. The measured value data can be displayed and
evaluated graphically.
Online trend records real-time values from your plant and displays them
graphically in a Trend View. If a value changes, the data values are sent to the
trend application. Offline trend data is used for the longer-term storage and
retrieval of historical data for the analysis of entire plants or single processes.
With offline trend, data is recorded directly in the automation station.
Trend and system activity data is stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Microsoft SQL Server Express is included with the Desigo CC software, and can
be upgraded as required. The Trend Comparison View lets you time-shift the
trend view to compare data at different times for quick analysis of changing
conditions.
