Figure 9: Local Network

The Desigo CC server, database service and the first installed client are deployed on

the same hardware platform, which can be physical or virtual. If Windows App clients

are required, the web server can also be installed on the same platform.

Field networks are connected directly to the Desigo CC server.

FEP can be used to better balance the communication load or to better adapt to the

distribution of the field systems. A typical case for FEP usage would be a system with

multiple remote sites and one central control location.

Installed and Windows App clients are connected to the server by system LAN.

The size of the field system and the number of clients that can be supported by this

configuration depend on the server hardware configuration.

Client/Server

Each Desigo CC installation has only one server; but it can have multiple clients,

running on different computers. You can work with Desigo CC in configuration where a

Desigo CC server communicates with multiple Desigo CC clients installed on separate

computers. This allows multiple operators to manage and supervise the same site.

The communication between the client and the server must be set up using SMC.

First, you must set up the server and then the client station. The communication

should be secured using certificates (this might be simplified on dedicated and

protected networks, such as within a control room).

By default, the template project is created for a stand-alone configuration (with the

indication that no communication is possible). To set up a secured/unsecured

client/server system, you must edit the project.

Server Station

A dedicated workstation with the following features:

● Desigo CC server

● Own administration
