16.5 Installation, setup and engineering
The installation program installs the Siemens License Management Utility
(LMU) on every management platform in a Desigo CC network. The LMU
enables and manages licenses and holds the installed licenses for Desigo CC.
The operating state of Desigo CC, the number of seats, the point count, and all
functions are controlled through the LMU. Each Desigo CC management
platform must be licensed locally. Licenses can be activated, repaired, returned
and renewed through the LMU.
After you install the LMU, you must activate the Desigo CC licenses using the
following licensing methods:
● Online: Licensing carried out via the internet or intranet on the back office
license server.
● Certificate/Dongle (including remote dongle engineering): Licensing carried
out via certificate files representing the license.
– For Dongle-bound licenses, dongles and licenses can be obtained
individually and subsequently tied to each other and loaded onto the PC.
– Engineering licenses are always dongle-bound. Where a physical
connection of the dongle to the PC is not possible, e.g., during a remote
support session, the engineering license can still be used for a limited
time.
● Manual: Manually returning a license based on XML request/response files.
See
Desigo CC Installation Manual (A6V10376166).
The Desigo CC server hosts the System Management Console (SMC), a stand-
alone tool which is installed on the main server only, and can only be launched
locally. Once Desigo CC is installed successfully, the field engineers must first
perform the typical system administration operations, such as configuring
system users, projects, and history database in the SMC, before being able to
launch a Desigo CC client.
Client profiles define the appearance and behavior of the system functions
involved in event management, such as Summary Bar, Event List, Event Detail
Bar, event filters, and event treatment. Every project template has a matching
client profile, and every client profile has a matching event schema. To a ensure
a consistent configuration, the project template, the client profile and the event
schema must match.
Representative data points in Desigo CC can be created manually, imported
through data exchange files, or uploaded through a selective auto-discovery
mechanism depending on the type of system being connected. A unique,
extensible object modeling approach allows Desigo CC to normalize information
brought in through any interface, and to provide the same look, feel, and
operation through a common set of applications, without concern for the source
of the data.
Desigo CC lets you configure connected subsystems directly and perform
typical automation station functions, such as scheduling and event generation,
at the management platform for connected systems that do not support those
functions directly.
Desigo CC supports the following subsystems:
● Desigo building automation system
● Desigo room automation system
● Siclimat-X
● Sinteso Fire Safety System
● Sinteso Fire Safety System
● Intrunet Intrusion System
