3 Chapter overview System overview This chapter provides an overview of general, user-relevant aspects of Desigo Insight. 3.1 Features of the system philosophy The Desigo Insight management station software is object-oriented and has a modular structure. It is based on a wide range of standard technologies including: · · · · · · · · Operating systems: Windows 7, Windows Server 2012.
3.3 Architecture Software architecture The following images provide an overview of the internal structure of the Desigo Insight management station software. 3.4 SQL database (password guidelines) Desigo Insight an SQL database to store data. Siemens requires you to changes the Desigo Insight default password for the SQL database to prevent Desigo Insight from becoming a target of hacker attacks (refer CM110591 Installation and configuration chapter 6.7.17 SQL System Administrator Password Management).
Alarm Router Alarm Router dispatches the alarm messages to the selected receivers (e.g. printers, e-mail, fax, pagers or mobile phones). Time Scheduler Time Scheduler allows central programming of all time-controlled building services functions, including individual room control. Trend Viewer Historical and real-time processing of data, for convenient analysis of off-line and on-line trend data. Used to optimize plant operation.
3.6 Philosophy User access philosophy The management station software offers a highly flexible means of defining an environment ideally suited to each user. It is possible to specify which user(s) should be allowed access to which sites and buildings, and which Desigo Insight applications each operator may use. Users in a building can be grouped logically according to their tasks (e.g. caretaker, building manager, maintenance engineer), each of these “user groups” having a dedicated set of privileges.
Scopes Freely definable scopes (e.g. range scope, discipline scope) allow for customizing project data views (e.g. lighting control visible only to electricians, not heating engineers). Automation system access The system can be set up to allow a variety of media (Ethernet, LON, PTP) access to the automation system. 17 / 146 Siemens Building Technologies Desigo Insight, Operating the management station, V6.
General 4 General operation 4.1 Conventions and style Desigo Insight is operated with the mouse. As a consequence, we do not make special reference to key commands.

Taskbar information after connection to a site After a site connection is established, your user name appears on the taskbar to confirm your login. Further, the following changes are visible on the Desigo Insight taskbar: Buttons Details Measures A red clock in the time display indicates that the site time and the management station time are not synchronized, and that the time difference is greater than the predefined maximum.
5.6 Overview System time "System time" refers to the time clock in your building automation and control system. This includes the time at the PX automation stations and the time on the management station. Your system has several so-called "Real Time Clocks". As a rule, there is one per management station and one per PX automation station.
Check / Change If the system time is incorrect, and the site time is synchronized automatically to the management station time, then check the management station time. This is displayed in the lower right hand corner in the Windows taskbar. Double-click this time display to adjust it using the normal Windows interface. It is then usually sufficient to connect to site. In cases where the site time is not synchronized to the management station, you can adjust the site time as follows: Note 1. 2.
UTC UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) is a worldwide reference time, equivalent to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). UTC may be used in the Desigo PX automation stations, one advantage being that daylight saving time changes are no longer necessary and hence the trend data and historical data does not suffer from gaps or compressions in clock time. The disadvantage is that human operators of the system prefer to work in “local time”.
Note You only see buttons for Desigo Insight applications to which you have authorized access. Tip You can use ToolTips to check which icon is associated with which program (point the cursor at a button to display its function). 5.8 Create and delete user Why create a user?

8 Chapter overview This section describes how the Desigo Insight alarm system works, and how you may use it. 8.1 What the alarm system does Alarm handling Principles of alarm handling Your Desigo system controls your building automation and control system plants. Sometimes events occur (e.g. a fault) that is important for the operator to know and requiring user intervention. The alarm system processes and issues the appropriate reports (e.g. to a printer or pager) for such events.
Alarms and events Alarms are actually a specific type of Desigo Insight event. There are four event types: 1. 2. 3. 4. Alarm events. System events. User events. Status events. Events are all things that happen within your Desigo system. They are subdivided into the categories above on the basis of their character. All events are capable of being transmitted to one or more “receivers”. They are all assigned a “priority”, i.e. . a level of importance.
Simple alarm Simple alarms (or alarm objects) do not require you to acknowledge or reset, they simply return to the normal state when the monitored condition (e.g. a dirty filter) returns to normal. Basic alarm More important alarms (e.g. lack of water) must be acknowledged. After the alarm state is eliminated, the plant is once again released after acknowledgement. Extended alarm For an extended alarm (e.g. velocity monitor), the reset returns the plant to normal.
Event priority Like alarms, the other 3 event types also have a priority: the same priority text description (e.g. “High”, “Low” etc.) is used for all four. Also like alarms, "Category" is not used with the other events. Alarm applications A number of applications are employed on the Desigo Insight management station for alarm handling: · Taskbar (Desigo Insight Shell) Shows a summary of all site alarms · Alarm Viewer Shows the state of all alarm objects not in a normal state.
Navigate between alarm applications You can jump between various Desigo Insight applications using principally Send to... as follows: Note that a filter is applied if you use the taskbar to jump to Alarm Viewer. When using the Send to... function, select the object of concern before right clicking to display the option list. 8.
The meanings of the various icons is as follows: Symbol Description Alarm cause User intervention Alarm Acknowledged alarm Acknowledged alarm, not reset. Unacknowledged alarm, not reset. Alarm cause exists. Alarm cause exists. None Acknowledged alarm Alarm cause no longer exists. Acknowledged alarm Alarm cause no longer exists. None No more display Alarm cause no longer Alarm reset. exists.
Manual switch. The Reliability icon means that the signal source has become unreliable, perhaps being open circuit. Operating mode warns if an override has been applied. Taskbar - alarm summary icons These are displayed at the top right hand side of the Desigo Insight taskbar. As described in the section on navigation, you can click one of the three symbols at any time to display the Alarm Viewer. The display for the selected symbol is filtered by alarm priority.
Note When using scopes, the popup window only shows alarms assigned to you. Alarm Router The Desigo Insight Alarm Router forwards all event messages including alarm messages to receiver devices, so-called receivers. The following receivers may be configured for Desigo Insight: · · · · · · Printers. Fax machine. E-mail receiver. Pager receiver. File. Management station pop-up. The routing of event messages can be finely tuned, according to: · Alarm priority.
Pop-up window 1. Alarm Viewer 1. Right-click alarm entry in the Alarm Viewer and Send to > Plant Viewer in the context menu. Log Viewer 1. Check if other alarms have been triggered This is most conveniently done via Alarm Viewer. Start Alarm Viewer and order the “time of alarm” column, so that the most recent alarms are visible. You can jump directly to Plant Viewer by right-clicking the alarm and using Send to.... Alternatively you may display Log Viewer, Alarm tab.
If you make a multiple selection then the interaction symbols are displayed according to states that are common to that selection. If both buttons are grayed out, then there is no common interaction available to your selection. Select alarms that all have the same state to enable a multiple acknowledge or reset. The alarm states are displayed with symbols and text. The symbols are described in the section on Plant Viewer.
8.3.1 Alarm suppression Alarms can temporarily suppressed for commissioning and service work. Such suppressed alarms do not sent alarm messages to the recipients. No messages or only after the fact, for pending alarm, may be sent depending on the suppressed alarms.
8.4 Alarm Viewer: General operation Alarm Viewer displays a list of the states of all alarm objects that are in an abnormal state. You can acknowledge and reset alarms from here. The layout of Alarm Viewer is as follows: The display table can be influenced in the Alarm Viewer. These operations include: · Ordering of columns · Filtering the display · Select which columns are shown in the table These operations are described in detail in the general handling section of this User guide.

Save present filters Filter Connected Sites Turn off filter Display, whether filter is active List of available filters Actively save filters (if available) The filter effect is also applied if you jump from the Desigo Insight taskbar alarm summary icons.
8.5 General Adjust the alarm handling system You can individually configure alarm response based on your operational requirements with Desigo Insight. For example, you can determine which alarms are sent where, e.g., SMS to the janitor from Friday, 5:00 pm through Monday, 8:00 am.
Router configuration Alarm Routing is engineered using System Configurator and Alarm Router . System Configurator is used in this instance for: · Creating, modifying and deleting Alarm Routing groups · Adding, modifying and deleting Alarm receivers · Configuring which management stations log event messages and which event types Alarm Router is used for: · Enabling and disabling alarm routing to an Alarm receiver · Applying time control to the routing of alarms. · Configuring the alarm pop-up.
8.7 Create an event routing group Alarm configuration with System Configurator Event message groups (including alarm routing groups) are created via System Configurator. You create the group according to: · The event type (Alarm, System, User or Status) · Event priority · Site Start System Configurator , and proceed as shown. 1. 2. Right-click "Router Groups" folder. Select Add. OR Right-click an existing group and select Copy. Right-click and Add OR right-click and Copy General 1. 2. 3. 4.
Route by designation Route by designation groups or classifies alarms by using a portion of the designation chain as a routing criteria. Set up routing after designation After enabling Route after Designation, two decisions must be made. Wildcards (global characters) – Designation type: Select the view (technical view, user view, system view) to complete the designation chain for alarm routing. – User syntax: (wildcards or regular expression). These options determine how the chain criteria are applied.
Global characters allow the user to route all objects belonging to the designation portion Ahu’FanEx. User syntax "regular expression More complex chain comparisons can be created with Regular Expression syntax. Valid syntax is as follows: . x|y [xyz] [^xyz] [a-z] [^a-z] \ ^ $ * + ? {n} {n,} {n,m} \d \D \s \S \w \W corresponds to any individual character. Corresponds to either x or y Character set. Corresponds to any characters listed in the brackets. Negative character set.
In the case of SCADA systems then there are entries, which you may use as criteria for your routing group. Remove You can delete categories with << Remove from the Routed Sites drop-down box. Priorities 1. 2. Select Priorities tab. Select priorities for routing this router group. Events 1. 2. Select the Events tab. Select the events and click Add >>. The selected events are displayed in the Routed categories box. 3. (See Chapter 15, Appendix) Click OK to save the data.
5. Note Example: Click OK. When forming router subgroups (e.g.: Intrusion, intrusion in vault, intrusion ground floor), routing only works when you select the router texts. Routing does not support wildcards. Thus, when you select e.g. Intrusion, only this router group is routed to one receiver. Router text Intrusion Intrusion in vault Intrusion ground floor Selected Yes No No Routing Yes No No Definition in the Object Viewer: , and proceed as shown. Start Object Viewer 1. 2. 3. 4.
The used column displays the number of times the text is assigned to data points. Important: Text routing is accomplished via the Routed Texts list box in the System Configurator and the Text table in the Object Viewer. The routing occurs between the Text table in the Object Viewer to the description for the data point. As a consequence, check that each routing text functions to the outside at least once! Note You can only delete text, when Used = 0. Delete router group 1. 2.
