A modern building management

system with computer-based operation

is vital for the efficient management of

your premises, and the means of display

and operation is especially important.

This is the system used for continuous

monitoring, energy optimisation and

adaptation to the changing needs of

users over the entire lifetime of a buil-

ding. Convenience for the operator is a

key factor in all these processes.

Users need fast and direct access to a

large amount of technical information,

displayed in an easy-to-read form in a

small space.They also need a firm

grasp of all the equipment on site: so it

must be possible to learn to use the

system quickly, and be guided simply

through the various programs.The on-

line help system provides this kind of

assistance at all times.The presentation

and operation of all electrical and

mechanical plant and DDC equipment

must be uniform and easy to under-

stand. But however impressive the

functions, they are of little value if it

takes a specialist to operate them.

That’s why we paid such close attention

to making DESIGO™ INSIGHT easy to

operate.The operating philosophy is the

outcome of an analysis of numerous

customer surveys, the collaboration of

experts in various European countries

and intensive consultation with mem-

bers of the respected “Ergonomics and

Technology” group at ETH (the Technical

University of Zurich).

All aspects of the operation of DESIGO™

INSIGHT are, of course, based on the

Microsoft guidelines and recommen-

dations for Microsoft Windows NT and

Office 97 compatible applications.

Powerful graphics systemThe plant graphics are created with the

standard CITECT® graphics editor from

CiTechnologies.This gives the user ac-

cess to an extensive library of graphics

templates, basic symbols and HVAC

symbols to DIN 19277, animated sym-

bol configurations, and masks for opera-

tion. Project-specific solutions to meet

individual requirements are created

using the basic modules. Plant graphics

are created and animated in the “live”

system.

Some key features:• Unlimited number of graphics in the

project

• Central access to file server if requi-

red

• Fast graphics “refresh” feature

• Integration of any number of illustra-

tions in various electronic formats

• Integration of CAD drawings

• Graphics may be any size, e.g. from

a detail to a large-scale illustration

with up to 4000 x 4000 pixels

• Outstanding graphics properties

with options such as display/hide,

change of colour, animated text, ani-

mated symbols, command fields,

switches etc.

A reliable guide to operationTime is money – and neither should be

wasted.That’s why DESIGO™ offers a

range of special features to help buil-

ding operators, and guide them quickly

to their objective:

• Clear menu bars

• Frequently-used plant graphics can

be defined as “Favourites” (as in the

Internet Explorer) and selected

quickly and directly via the menu bar

Clear plant graphics, putting you in thepicture quicklyThe fully graphics-based operation of

your plant is one of the key aspects of

DESIGO INSIGHT. The informative,

well-designed plant graphics were

developed in accordance with clear

guidelines, with the following benefits

for you:

DESIGO™ is a registered trademark ofSiemens Building Technologies Ltd.

All symbols are used consistently again and again in the various DESIGO™ INSIGHTapplications.This methodical and uniform strategy helpsyou identify any problems with the plant.

Benefit from electronic design docu-mentsExisting CAD drawings, photos, maps

etc. can be imported directly into the

plant graphics.They provide the ideal

basis for the representation of indivi-

dual room management, fire and secu-

rity and remote management systems.

Save timeThe optically restful dark-green back-

ground with its subtle grey DIN sym-

bols and bright signal colours for spe-

cial states offers a quick overall view

of your system.This is supported by

realistic animated graphics and reliable

user guidance. All graphical elements

are harmonised in size, colour and sha-

pe.The comprehensive copyright libr-

ary helps with efficient engineering.

Increase your building’s safetyFaults, alarms, manual intervention and

control signals in the various signal

colours can be identified quickly and

reliably, displayed without confusion,

and operated directly without time-con-

suming navigation. By integrating your

fire & security systems, you can also

increase building safety and reduce

potential risks to building users and

equipment.

Reduce personnel and operating costsUniform, user-centred operation of all

plant in the building increases transpa-

rency, reduces maintenance costs and

makes it possible to employ staff with

only basic qualifications. Even unskilled

staff will know what is required of them.

Increase the motivation of your staffA well-designed display makes routine

work easier for the user sitting at the

screen, and reduces stress.This has a

direct effect on staff motivation.

Reduce training and familiarisationperiodsThe uniform display and operation of all

systems in a building is easy to learn.

MS Windows and MS Office users are

in the picture right away. Even sophisti-

cated HVAC applications in the building

are transparent.
