6.2.3 Desigo PL-Link / Desigo PXC3.. engineering
Engineering in Desigo PL-Link environments is accomplished with the Desigo XWP
component ABT (Automated Building Tool). The webserver-based tool SSA (Setup
and Service Assistant) is used for datapoint tests during commissioning.
To enable “plug&play” commissioning with Desigo PL-Link, the recommended
engineering workflow has to be followed. At the core of this workflow is the
preparation of the supervisory VAV-enabled automation station (e.g. PCX3..).
The following (idealized) workflow is a recommendation to benefit from the features
of the VAV compact controllers.
1. The
design engineer (DE)
plans the system using the engineering tool
Desigo XWP (ABT)
. Design data for an entire project is stored on an
Engineering Data Server.
2. According to the plan, orders are released to OEMs and suppliers.
VAV box
OEMs
order VAV compact controllers from the distribution center. The OEM
manufactures the VAV boxes and adjusts the VAV compact controllers mainly
by setting the parameter V
n
(cf. section
2.6
). The preconfigured VAV boxes are
then delivered to the construction or renovation site.
3. The
electrical installer (EI)
mounts the VAV boxes and removes the
address
labels
. He attaches them to a building plan (or something comparable). This
building plan is then forwarded to the DE.
4. The
DE
can now preconfigure the
automation station
(e.g. PXC3..) offline in
Desigo XWP (ABT)
as follows: After adding the required number of VAV
compact controllers to an automation station, he can access the configuration
panel of each VAV compact controller and enter the ID either by typing the
alphanumeric code or – if supported – by scanning the barcode
representation. This configuration is then compiled to a
pack&go file
for
download into the physical automation station.
5. This pack&go file is forwarded to the
EI
who downloads it into the automation
station. The EI or the
commissioning engineer (CE)
can do a first testing
with the
SSA
tool.
6. The
CE
can use the design data and
Desigo XWP (ABT)
to complete the
commissioning.
