Schedules are automatically associated to the systems they control, so users can
quickly navigate to the schedules related to any selected object.
The Timeline Viewer in the scheduler application allows users to show the details
of multiple workstation schedules or field panel schedules simultaneously,
spanning a range of time.
Macros
Macros are predefined lists of commands that enable a user to send out a group of
commands to specified devices with a single action. Some macros can be started
manually while others may be part of schedules defined for time-based functions or
automatic reactions.
Macros are also used by the system to perform multiple command actions. These
predefined system macros are applied to specific control actions, such as block
commands to fire control panels and system backup functions.
Reaction Processor
The Reaction Processor allows the user to configure Desigo CC to automatically
execute given actions when some conditions are verified. Conditions can be based
on time (for example, every Monday at 7:00 AM), on events (for example, when
technical equipment is in fault), on change of values (for example, when the
temperature of a room is higher than a predefined value), or on a combination of
some or all the above. When conditions are met, the Reaction Processor executes
a pre-configured list of commands (for example, switch on the lights).
Scripting
Desigo CC provides a Script Editor to create sophisticated and powerful script
programs based on JavaScript language. Scripts can be executed on demand or
automatically by the system based on trigger conditions.
Reports
The Desigo CC reporting tool includes standard reporting templates (for example
Status, Event or Configuration templates) and allows a user to create fully
configurable reports with custom logos, headers, footers, and layouts that include
tabular and graphical system information. Reports can be scheduled and saved in
CSV or PDF formats for future use and/or programmed to be sent via email to pre-
configured recipients (for example, every Monday morning at 8.00 AM, a report
with all alarms occurred over the previous seven days is created and sent to the
Facility Manager).
Journaling
Desigo CC can be configured to print out an ongoing record of the system’s
operation using Journaling.
Journaling uses a dedicated Server printer, called as journaling printer, to
automatically print out a record when specified alarms, operator/system actions, or
field conditions occur. The journaling printer can be a line printer or a page printer.
Journaling templates offer a range of formats for printing.
Typical use cases for Journaling are:
● Printing the event details when the event is generated
● Tracking when a user logs into and out of the system
● Tracking the values of a specific system objects such as Kilowatt (KW) meters
for energy auditing purposes
● A secure non-digital copy of system history to be used in the event of a
database corruption
Document Viewer
The Document Viewer displays object-related data sheets, operating manuals or
other information contained in a document file (for example: a data sheet for a
detector or sensor) or web page.
