Dear Ashok, Desigo is the family name for the main Building Automation System from Siemens BT. Desigo is for Building Automation what Simatic is for Industry Automation. The Desigo system consist of various type of system controllers, like e.g. Desigo PX for primary control, Desigo TRA for room automation, of Management Stations, Engineering Tools and I/O modules. Desigo TX-I/O modules can also be used for Simatic S7. For more information about Desigo, see: https://www.buildingtechnologies.siemens.com/bt/global/en/buildingautomation-hvac/building-automation/building-automation-and-control-system-europe-desigo/Pages/desigo.aspx You most probably speak of Desigo PX or the Desigo Automation Level. The Desigo PX system controllers are based on the BACnet communication protocol. You either need a BACnet OPC-Server to use the Win CC OPC client, or you need a BACnet driver for the Winn CC integration. You cannot directly migrate Desigo PX project into a Win CC project. The WinCC does not provide a BACnet driver. The best possible solution is to use a BACnet OPC server. The Win CC Open Architecture has a build in BACnet driver. Please see: http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/human-machine-interface/de/visualisierungssoftware/simatic-wincc-open-architecture/wincc-oa-optionen/wincc-oa-bacnet/Seiten/Default.aspx Please note that I do not know if the Win CC Open Architecture BACnet driver has been tested with the Desigo PX controllers yet. Please note that there are may be other options for a system integration, depending on the exact customer needs. Please note that it is also possible to integrate the Simatic S7 into the Desigo Management Stations, either via the Profinet driver, OPC server or BACnet CP. Best regards, Albis |
