About this Document

Purpose
This manual describes the features of the Desigo CC Compact management
platform. It provides casual users with in-depth reference information for the
different system features, including workflows, and is designed to support users in
their daily site-related monitoring and controlling activities.
Scope
This document applies to Desigo CC Version 3.0.
Target Audience
End-Users are the primary users of the system. Depending on the specific
application, end users can be a building services engineer, a security guard, a
member of the fire brigade, the facility manager, and so on. They are responsible
for monitoring and managing the facility and any related events. They have the
appropriate training for operating the management station.

Liability Disclaimer
We have checked the contents of this manual for agreement with the hardware and
software described. Since deviations cannot be precluded entirely, we cannot
guarantee full agreement. However, the data in this manual are reviewed regularly

Product Security Disclaimer

Siemens products and solutions provide IT-specific security functions to ensure the
secure operation of building comfort, fire safety, security management and physical
security systems. The security functions on these products and solutions are
important components of a comprehensive security concept.
However, it is necessary to implement and maintain a comprehensive, state-of-the-
art security concept that is customized to individual security needs. Such a security
concept may result in additional site-specific preventive action to ensure that the
building comfort, fire safety, security management or physical security systems for
your site are operated in a secure manner. These measures may include, but are
not limited to, separating networks, physically protecting system components, user
awareness programs, in-depth security, and so on.
For additional information on building technology security and our offerings, contact
your Siemens sales or project department. We strongly recommend signing up for
our security advisories, which provide information on the latest security threats,
patches and other mitigation measures.

4 Event Summary bar The events that occur in the building automation and control
system are grouped into categories, which are color-coded by
severity. Each alarm category typically corresponds to an event
lamp.

1.1 Summary Bar

The Summary bar is located along the top of the system screen, and is the main
point of entry to all the functions of the management station.
By default, it displays collapsed to a slim bar, and it has a series of indicators that
provide an overview of the alarms in the system, grouped by category followed by
the operator menu, a system integrity indicator, and the filter icon.
When the slim bar is expanded, on the left, the Summary bar displays the event
lamps grouped by category, while on the right, it has buttons for starting multiple
System Manager windows, opening/closing Event List, and controlling the audio
alert.
Depending on the profile, it displays a specific set of event lamps, the Event Detail
bar that highlights the most critical events in the system and allows you to open or
close the Event List and control the audio alert.

1.2 System Integrity Indicator

The system integrity indicator, located on the Summary bar, indicates the network
connection and system status. Its color and animation reflect the connection status,
as follows:
Green and animated Network connection with the server is active and the
system is healthy (that is, server running properly).
Red and animated Network connection with the server is active but at least
one system component is not active on the server (that
is, server not running properly).
NOTE: If a client disconnects form the server, this issue
is visually indicated on the Summary bar by pink
background, and Client Disconnected text in red.
An error message informs you that the connection to
the server has been lost and will be restored when
possible.
Red and not animated Network connection with the server is inactive.
A tooltip displays when you move your cursor over the indicator, and provides
network connection and system status information.
1.3 Event Lamps

The events that occur in the building automation and control system are grouped
into categories, which are color-coded by severity. Each alarm category typically
corresponds to an event lamp that displays in the Summary bar. The number of
lamps and their corresponding categories depends on profiles.
Each event lamp shows the total number of events for that category, and how
many of those are unprocessed (not yet acknowledged by the operator). An event
lamp will also flash if there are any unprocessed events in its category.
When the Summary bar is collapsed to a slim bar, event information appears in a
reduced format (event category abbreviation and the total number of alarms for
that category), including also icons for any event timers or applied filters.

Acknowledging Different Alarm Types

5 Acknowledging Different Alarm Types

Your Desigo system controls your building automation and system plants.
Sometimes events occur (for example, a fault) that the operator must know about
and that require user intervention. The alarm system processes and issues the
appropriate reports (for example, to a printer) for such events.
Your Desigo system reacts automatically to a fault (for example, the ventilation
plant is automatically locked during a fire alarm). An alarm is issued for a control
deviation (for example, a dirty filter only triggers a simple alarm).
In both cases, the system changes to the alarm status and a corresponding alarm
is issued. The system returns to normal after the cause of the alarm was eliminated
and the system was reset by the operator.
Simple Alarm
Simple alarms (or alarm objects) do not require you to acknowledge or reset.
Normal operations resume when the monitored condition (for example, a dirty filter)
returns to normal.
Figure 16: Simple Alarm Behavior
Basic Alarm
More important alarms (for example, lack of water) must be acknowledged. After
eliminating the cause of the alarm state and acknowledging it, the plant operations
return to normal.
Figure 17: Basic Alarm Behavior
Extended Alarm
In the case of an extended alarm (for example, frost alarm), once the monitored
state returns to the normal range, resetting will return the plant to normal. This is to
ensure that important alarms are not overlooked once the alarm condition clears.
