The paragraphs below describe the most important applications offered by Desigo
CC for System Management.
Event Management
Event Management (also called event or alarm handling) refers to the various
actions and steps that users take to respond to an event (e.g. smoke alarm) that
occurs. Such actions may include, acknowledging the alarm, investigating its
cause, resetting the alarm once the problem has been resolved, and filling out a
report form.
The main applications provided for Event Management are the Summary bar (1)
and Event List (2):
Summary Bar
The Summary bar is the anchor for Desigo CC event management. It highlights
current conditions with a clear indication of current event priorities and allows the
user to quickly open the Event List. Depending on the client profile in use, the
Summary bar can be docked on the desktop or freely opened and closed as
needed. In some configurations, the one or two most important alarms are also
displayed in an Event Detail bar underneath the Summary bar.
Event List
The Event List application provides a complete and easily filtered list of events
under control of the management station. When expanded, the Event List provides
a clear indication of each event source, severity, and current status, as well as
custom messages and suggested steps using text, color, and icon representations.
Events can be acknowledged, silenced, and reset from the Event List.
To handle an event, Desigo CC offers the following alarm-handling options:
Fast Treatment
From the Event List or Event bar, operators can quickly select an event and
perform all the commands (for example, Acknowledge, Reset, Close, or Suspend)
from the Event Detail bar and Event List, without following any advanced guided
procedure (such as, viewing live and recorded video streams or a map of the
alarmed area, and so on). A brief description of the next action to take (which
command to select) is also contained in the event descriptor (the event descriptor
is visible when the Event List is expanded).
When event handling is in progress, the user can send the available commands to
the source object causing the event or even suspend event handling.
