2.1.3 UL/ULC Listed Machines
The following table provides a mapping of the Desigo CC Hardware Categories to
the available UL/ULC listed computers. After determining the required hardware
category with the System Dimensioning Guide Calculator, the appropriate UL/ULC
listed computer model number(s) can be determined by locating the corresponding
Hardware Category in the table below.
The UL/ULC computers are sold as a Hardware/Software Server Packages or as
Hardware Only as defined below.

2.2 System Dimensioning Tool
Desigo CC covers a wide variety of deployments so that is impossible to set simple
rules for determining the system size. Therefore, a system dimensioning tool is
available that estimates system size and disk storage space based on the
information available at the time of the offer, for example, the number and type of
physical data points and the expected contents of the History Data Base.
When the required configuration and the number and type of clients have been
entered, the system dimensioning tool verifies the feasibility of the system,
calculates the number of system objects, suggests the appropriate hardware
category for the server, the required storage space for the project and the version
and the disk space required for the SQL server.
The above example refers to a system with 30,000 BACnet points and 12,000 Fire
detectors, with enough storage for 3 years of trends and activity logs online.
