2 Introduction to migration
This section introduces the methodology associated with handling migration
projects.
The methods described cover:
 Evaluation of possible projects.
 Preparation of migration strategies.
 Plant analysis.
 Workflow optimization.
 Implementation of projects.
 Use of the Desigo Automation Level Migration tools (321-Workbench and DME).

The document is aimed at Service personnel in sales and engineering who


understand the migration business and have already acquired some experience in
this business segment. Ideally, they also have experience with modernization
projects. This allows them to make direct use of the Best Practice described here.
The profit situation in migration projects is increasingly under pressure, and it is
easy to understand why everything possible is done to counteract the erosion of
profits.
The Desigo Automation Level Migration tool is intended to help reduce engineering
time and to import as much know-how as possible from the old system into the new
one. In addition to the tool-based engineering, the available expertise should help
to ensure that the migration process from sales to final handover is organized as
efficiently as possible. Best Practice is the means by which this expertise is to be
transferred.
This document does not deal with the following:
 Strategic selling.
 Acquisition of maintenance contracts.
 Marketing aspects.

These subjects are described in the separate migration manuals. There is also no
detailed discussion of special solutions such as room automation or third-party
integration.
The workflow presented here is based on over 10 years' experience of the
migration business.

2.1 Recommendations and prerequisites

Certain recommendations apply to the implementation and introduction of Best


Practice and of the Desigo Automation Level Migration Tool. Successful
implementation requires an awareness that the migration business is highly
complex and time-consuming. This applies especially to the process of winning a
migration order, and in particular to implementation which is right for the customer.
In order to make a success of this business, migration training is absolutely
essential for both sales and engineering personnel. The training can be devised
independently in the Regional Companies and supplemented by specialists. In the
RCs, the tool specialists must familiarize themselves with the scope of the
migration tool.

2.2 Workflow description

The workflow for the migration business is highly complex and its effects are not
always immediately identifiable. For this reason, each step must be prepared and
checked with extreme care. The workflow always applies to an entire project. It
often requires extensive resources to correct migration errors. The next sections
describe the procedure step by step, with references to sources of additional
information.
The workflow is divided into 6 steps. Each one should be regarded as an
independent step and should be processed as such. Tasks are defined within each
step, which must be carried out by suitable staff in order to achieve the optimum
results. The more closely Sales, Engineering and the customer work together, the
more successful this will be.
This collaborative approach extends throughout the project processing period. In
the ideal situation, all parties bring their own knowledge and experience to the
support and development of the project.

2.2.1 Workflow overview

Building Technologies Introduction to migration 14.09.2011
2.2.2 Step 1: Driver – Migration

The first step is labeled Driver migration, because this is often the initial impetus
for a migration project. Opportunities of this kind must be picked up by the regional
sales organizations and handled accordingly.
The impulse may come from the customer, the engineer or the sales force.
Features:
– Customer enquiries with technical specifications.
– Extensions or building conversion plans.
– Support enquiries.
– Information from technical staff.
– Orders for repairs or spare parts.
– Sales activities, special promotions, customer visits etc.
– Contracting.
– Expositions.

Or, actively driven by sales:


– Analysis of the installed base.
– Follow-up visits to customer sites.
– In-house exhibitions, customer meetings.
Impetus from Product Marketing:
– Product withdrawals / life cycle.
– New developments.
– Special promotions, Migration Plus.
– Maintenance contracts etc.
– New business ideas.

In particular, the information from Product Marketing should be processed with an


appropriate evaluation for the customer and put into practice in suitable ways.
It is incomprehensible for customers when they only discover shortly before the
event, that a product range is to be discontinued. Customers always want the
whole picture in relation to the plans associated with their installed products.
Note
A lack of information makes the migration business extremely difficult, because
customers cannot make plans from one day to the next, and cannot alter their
budgets at short notice.

2.2.3 Step 2: Information on installed base (IB)

The second step is the maintenance of information about the installed base (IB) of
the systems at regional level. The checklist to acquire project data can be used as
a sample IB structure. IB is the heart of the migration business. It is impossible to
actively drive a business without access to all the relevant data.
This information also helps with the evaluation of market opportunities, the
implementation of special promotions, estimates of potential and the control of
sales.
In conjunction with step 1, the control of sales activities clearly involves potential
for the optimization of processes, as well as migration potential. In the IB, all
information from the sales and technical staff can be maintained and used as
required.

Building Technologies Introduction to migration 14.09.2011
2.2.4 Step 3: Project record

Step 3 is the most important step, because it is here that the foundation stone is
laid for the success or failure of the project.
The main purpose of the project record is:
1. Acquisition of all information, both technical and commercial.
2. Record of the requirements.
3. Record of the ACTUAL status.
4. Procurement of data backups.
The project record phase is an advance investment in the business of the future. At
the same time, it is extremely useful to have more than one iron in the fire,
because customers also take a relatively long time to make up their minds.
This project record applies to the complete project. The work involved only needs
to be done once, and it can be referred to later for further planning if necessary. For
maintenance customers, this record should be mandatory, and be written up during
the first maintenance session. The data recorded for this purpose is saved with the
IB.
The project record must cover the acquisition of all information and the clarification
of any questions. The effect of obtaining information retrospectively is always
negative. Checklists should always be used for analysis, firstly to avoid errors, and
secondly because they refer to important points which are otherwise very easy to
overlook. The lists ask about all points which might be important for migration. The
list can also be used for meeting minutes. The time spent on recording the data
always pays off. Ideally, this data can be recorded when visiting a customer, or
during a maintenance or service call. A digital camera is useful when recording the
plant. In this way, it is not usually necessary, for example, for the control panel
manufacturer to come to site again to prepare an offer.

Note This information is absolutely essential for use of the AL Migration tool.
The AL Migration tool (321-Workbench) also defines the bill of quantities for the
required hardware, thereby providing a fundamental basis for calculation.

2.2.5 Step 4: Establish strategy

The strategy should always be based on a "top down" approach. This assumes
that first the management level followed by the automation level are to be
modernized. This approach is essential to avoid impairing compatibility. It is equally
important always to evaluate and assess the system as a whole. The information
from the first four steps and the AL Migration tool can now be used to create the
migration strategy in collaboration with sales and engineering. In normal
circumstances, an increasing number of options will be available. These must be
matched with the customer's requirements and the technical options.
The standard solutions are described in the migration manuals. For the finer
details, refer to the relevant system documentation and data sheets.
In conjunction with the information from the site record, it is now possible to suggest
very detailed solutions without the risk of neglecting important aspects. In more
complex projects, the engineering and sales personnel should work in close
cooperation.

Siemens DESIGO Automation level migration CM110776en_05


Building Technologies Introduction to migration 14.09.2011
The knowledge of system specialists is especially important for questions of
compatibility. This step should always result in a proposed solution for the customer,
which should be agreed with the customer and costed.
5. Clarification of financial aspects.
6. Definition of a time schedule.
Note As a self-check, make sure that all the "w/h" questions (who, where, what, when,
how and how much) have been answered. Staff should have attended the AL
Migration Tool seminars, to enable them to ask the right questions.

2.2.6 Step 5: Project alignment

Step 5 consists of the alignment of the migration strategy with the customer. It is
absolutely essential to explain the effects and the extent of migration. For large and
very large projects, and for sensitive customers, it may be advisable to visit a
reference site. A visit of this kind should be accompanied by a system specialist
who can answer outstanding questions or clarify open points. Another option is to
provide a demo plant for the operator of a site so that the customer can get to
know the new technologies. In order to benefit from the new IT solutions, it is
especially important to include those responsible for customer's IT infrastructure if
solutions are to be used which affect the customer network or which could affect
data security regulations. This is always the case if wireless networks (WLAN) or
external access to the network (Web or remote access) are required.
When the detailed questions have been clarified the definitive solutions and options
can be defined. These should be checked again in technical and commercial terms
by specialists in these areas before the tender is submitted.
Further optimization can also be achieved by analyzing the workflow, reviewing the
chronological sequence and manufacturing components in advance. It has been
found that enabling the customers to use their own staff in the migration progress
can provide additional motivation for the award of a migration contract.
Another important point for coordination of the project is the chronological process.
Time scales should be agreed for all the relevant steps. In particular periods when
plant is switched off, or the time frame for building conversions are defined in this
way, and delays can thus be avoided. This can be supplemented by an agreement
on setting-up times, and a clarification of access rights and the handling of
materials on the company's premises.

2.2.7 Step 6: Project implementation

In the last of the six steps the project is implemented. Here, it is especially
important to keep rechecking the agreements and requirements. The
implementation of the project also requires very thorough planning, as deadlines
must be adhered to, or specific jobs can only be carried out with the cooperation of
other companies. The building conversion work should always be prepared for as
well as possible, to avoid difficulties resulting from unexpected events.
Preassembly of components, provisioning all building materials on site, loading
programs into the controller, checking documentation, and performance of all work
that can be carried out in advance, all contribute to additional reliability and
reduced costs. This also applies, of course, to the implementation of plants by use
of the AL Migration Tool.

Building Technologies Introduction to migration 14.09.2011
One aspect that always leads to discussion after commissioning is that the
behavior of the plant seems to have changed. Customers are often highly sensitive
to the smallest changes. This effect can be countered by involving the customer in
the commissioning process and explaining the changes. This step protects
technical staff from re-engineering and generates a high level of customer
satisfaction. This positive experience for the customer can very rapidly generate
follow-up work.
As a follow-up to migration, a feedback discussion should always be conducted at
short notice with the customer. It is very important that customers do not get to
know their new technology without guidance, and equally important that the
Regional Companies take the opportunity to optimize the workflow.
Further information on implementation is available on the Global Service pages in
the intranet.

2.3 Further information and checklists

Checklists in Excel format are available for all systems, for recording the plants.
There is thus a project list, a control panel list and a system list for Visonik, Unigyr,
Integral and Desigo respectively.

How are the checklists The lists are divided into different sections and can be partially completed before
used? the visit to the customer. This is also a way of checking the validity of the master
data.
Staff can ask about individual points and record the answers in the form of an
interview. To save time, there are numerous questions which can be answered with
a "Yes" or "No". However, all questions must be answered, even if it appears that
everything is clear.
The member of staff handling the next stage who was not present at the meeting
will otherwise be unable to work on the project without further questions. Follow-up
questions are often time-consuming and can produce errors.
For work on the project, it is very important that all documents, such as wiring
diagrams, control diagrams, photos, data backups etc. are enclosed with the
checklists.
A complete list of the companies involved in the building works must also be
available. It must also be clarified whether the contractor is in a position to
undertake the qualification process and able to provide the necessary resources.

3 Workflow overview and engineering tools
The diagram below shows the activities to be carried out in the UVI system and in
321-Workbench.
To a large extent, the data flow associated with taking over engineering data also
determines the workflow. The data is exported from the UVI system individually
according to the system. The exported engineering data is converted into a data
format with similar syntax.

1 Export engineering data from the existing UVI systems (server or controller).
The data export largely depends on the existing UVI tool mechanisms.
Data that cannot be reused directly in Desigo is needed to create reports, and
is used for information when documenting the existing plant.
The ETS output (HVAC and VIS files) can also be imported as of Desigo
V2.37 for Visonik.
7. Conversion and transformation into a common data format (Controller Data
Format (CDF)).
8. Manual selection and configuration of a Proven Solution in XWORKS plus, or
program structure created directly in CFC. Selection is based on knowledge of the
plant, supported by legacy controller code (e.g. Visonik COLBAS), project
documentation, and the generated re-engineering reports.
9. Manual mapping of UVI data points to PX data points. This process, where PX
objects are linked to UVI data, is the main and most important workflow. Hardware-
related parameters and I/O addresses are transferred in the mapping process.
10. Generation of engineering data in the CFC. The engineering data contains the
structure of the PX program, enhanced with transformed data from the UVI system.
11. Post-engineering & integration of imported data takes place directly in CFC using
associated editors (Parameter Editor and I/O Address Editor). This stage also
includes not only integration of controllers into the existing system and
management level, e.g. for communication, global system functions, alarm
management, trend objects, time scheduling, but also integration into ADP/CC.

4 321-Workbench, Visonik workflow
321-Workbench ("three-to-one" workbench) is used to prepare the project data
from the UVI systems for migration to Desigo PX.
When migrating a Visonik system, additional project-specific settings are required
for data point migration (e.g. without these, the new PTM modules are not correctly
addressed).
In 321-Workbench, migration of a Visonik system takes place at two levels:
DCS level
The following elements are defined at DCS level:
– Migration of process units and possible merging of several process units.
– Mapping Visonik alarm groups to PX alarm classes.
– Mapping ERSTA delay times.

Process unit level


The following elements are defined at the process unit level:
– Module migration mode (per process unit).
– PTM module adjustments.
– Process unit selection (PXC-64/128 or PXC-50/200).
– Migration of PTM to TX-I/O modules for PXC-50/100/200.

4.1 Prerequisites for Visonik migration

 Supported Visonik process units


– EKL-X
– PRV1
– BPS

 Supported Visonik DCS versions

Version Revision and patch


V 26 16.317 and higher Direct migration possible
V 24 14.154 and higher Direct migration possible
V 22 14.154 and higher Direct migration possible
V 20 14.154 and higher Direct migration possible
V 18 06 Takeover required

 VisoExe: Minimum V 24.16.000


 Communication access to Visonik Container (DCS or VisoExe) with DCT.exe.

4.2 Preparations on the project

 All data points generated on the process units must also be generated on
Visonik DCS. This is true in particular for fictitious data points such as CVP,
RGB, VIP etc.. Use PRO, GPR to check this for the process unit. If data points
are missing from the Visonik system, they can be generated automatically with
$xx’PS.OP=SAPA.

 The data must be complete. As the upload comes directly from the DCS, it is
strongly recommended that you check for data consistency between the DCS

Building Technologies 321-Workbench, Visonik workflow 14.09.2011
and the plant beforehand. To do this, we recommend that the following actions
be carried out individually for each process unit:
$xx’PS.OP = Gacq
$xx’PS.OPLS = SaFi
Subsequently, monitor the $xx’PS.OP parameter until the actions are complete.
 There are two options:
 Either 321-Workbench is used for direct access to the running Visonik
Container, or
 a shadow container (VisoDat1.vis) is generated on the running project. The
shadow container is taken to the office and started with DCS-Light on an
office PC. This is possible because all necessary data is present in the
Visonik Container.

Hint In rare cases, data points have IDC=0. The tool, however, requires a correct IDC.
1. Search for data points with IDC=0. Create a project report, e.g. with
Pro,CSS,$*,IDC=0,, .
2. Assign the correct IDCs manually to the data points found.

4.3 Create a migration project

Begin by setting the project settings and creating a new project. Access to the
Visonik Container is also defined in this process.

4.3.1 Set upload options

Set the options in 321-Workbench (Tools > Options).

Tab: Visonik Upload


Select this option if you want to use the Visonik project name (SYS;PROJ)
automatically for the migration project.

4.3.2 Create a new migration project in 321-Workbench

Important When defining a new migration project, set up valid communications with the
Visonik Container, otherwise no new migration project is created.

Prerequisites  Visonik container on the DCS (on the project)


or
 Visonik container on the PC with VisoExe (in the office). There is no need to
connect process units for 321-Workbench to function. All necessary data is
already in the process image of the Visonik Container.

1 Select File > New Project.


2 Select the UVI system Visonik and enter the project root path.
Note: Neither the UVI system nor the project root path can be changed
retroactively.
3 Enter the project name.
A new project folder is created with the project name entered. Where
applicable, indicates that there is already a folder.
Note: If Automatically rename project is selected, the project folder is
assigned the name of the Visonik project (Tools > Options, Visonik-Upload
tab).
4 Enter the texts for the report.
5 Click Next >.
---> The Define sources for DCS data dialog box opens.
6 321-Workbench uses the program DCT.exe for access to the Visonik
Container. The required communication settings are saved in file DCT.ini
When setting up a new migration project, you can create a new DCT file
(Start DCT now….) or you can copy an existing DCT.ini file to the migration
project (Copy existing DCT.INI…).

Configure DCT.ini 1 Click Start DCT now…


2 Select Tools > Configuration Wizard....
---> DCT is started directly in a separate window.
3 Now define the required connection to the Visonik Container.
4 Close the Configuration Wizard.
5 Close the DCT window.
---> The settings are imported into 321-Workbench.

Hints – For Connection to the Visonik Container, prefer socket communication in


DCT.
– If 321-Workbench and the Visonik Container are on the same PC, enter the local
host (127.0.0.1) as the Host name.
– Select the correct Language (XX=) to migrate project-specific text.

Copy DCT.ini 1 Click Copy an existing DCT.INI....


2 Locate the required DCT.ini
---> (e.g. in folder …/ProjectName/_AlMig_Dct/...).
3 Click Open.
---> The selected file is copied to the current folder.
4 Click Next >.
---> This opens the dialog box Upload from a running DCD container.
5 Select the required DCT connection.

6 Select the language required for the DCS.
Note: Selecting the correct DCS language makes the project-specific data
available (e.g. point description, enumeration, unit).
7 Click OK.
A new project is created with the appropriate folder structure.

4.4 Acquire Visonik data

Note TRDLG data is uploaded via the Visonik-DAP,DIR dialog box. This dialog box
supplies data only if the DCS system time is valid. It is therefore vital to define the
system time via the DA dialog box.
Note: If the Visonik Container was "rescued" from the site and the migration upload
is carried out in the office, the system time, by default, is NOT defined.

Hints – ALconf: Visonik projects on which Desigo Insight is not yet in use do not
necessarily operate with alarms. Remember to set parameter ALconf before an
upload via PKX, otherwise this has to be done manually in the CFC.
– Check Data points defined as fictive and, if possible, switch to "real",
especially in the case of points from EKL-X stations. Otherwise the scope for
configuration is severely limited in the tool.

Procedure in Visonik data is acquired in two stages via 321-Workbench task DCS Upload:
321-Workbench
1. Step Global Visonik data (i.e. Visonik data valid for all process units) is uploaded from
the Visonik Container (TextDcs.txt). This data consists mainly of text catalogs with
"I" and "U" text. 321-Workbench also interrogates each process unit for its type
(IDC) and version.
1. Select the "not yet uploaded" check box.
2. Click the green arrow.

---> Global data is uploaded (via DCT).

After uploading, a list is displayed of all process units containing project data.

2. Step The process data is uploaded from the process units to be migrated.
1. Select the process units to be migrated.
2. Click the green arrow.
The process-station-specific data is uploaded (via DCT). Process units
uploaded in this way are marked in light green.

This completes the upload procedure.

4.5 Migration settings

Visonik data is prepared so that it can be mapped as required to the PX project in


the Generator task of 321-Workbench.
The Generator generates the CDF files that can be further processed by XWORKS
plus Point Configurator. The following settings are required for this purpose:

4.5.1 Map alarm

Use the Map Alarming tab to define the mapping of the Visonik MSGP and AlConf
to the PX alarm classes. You can also specify whether or not data points set to
OSV must be capable of generating alarms.

The following mapping rules apply:


 If MSGP > 0 and OSV = 0  EnAlm = TRUE else FALSE
 If AlConf > 0 and OSV = 0  AlmFnct is set accordingly:
Alconf AlmFnct
No alarm. ---
Alarm Basic
Simple alarm Simple
Extended alarm Extended

 Alarms from Visonik overwrite the corresponding alarm settings (from PX


solution). Thus, the Visonik value is taken over.

Note The DCS tabs are only displayed if the DCS is selected in the tree structure.

4.5.2 Map DEL01&10

For almost all data point types, Visonik has two separate delay times for incoming
and cleared faults (alarms). With most function blocks in PX, there is only one
delay time:TiMonDvn. However, data points BI and BO have the following three
delay times: TiMonDvn, TiMonOn und TiMonOff. This tab allows you to define how
these delays are handled system-wide.

Note
The DCS tabs are only displayed if the
DCS is selected in the tree.

4.5.3 Export/import transformation rules

The settings for Map Alarming and Map DEL01/10 can be saved in a file for use
with other migration projects.

Export (Tools > Export; Generator task only).

In the second stage of the wizard, you can specify a file to save the rules.

Import (Tools > Import; Generator task only).

4.6 Migrate EKL-X process units

Migrating EKL-X process units requires using new PTM modules. The following
migration steps are required:
 Set for automatic conversion of the EKX-IDC to a (temporary) 321 IDC.
 Verify or modify the PTM modules proposed by 321-Workbench.
 Add any missing PTM module settings (e.g. for INV, switching, sensor types
etc.)
 To migrate to TX-I/O modules, you can specify which TX-I/O module
corresponds to what PTM module and what addresses are to be assigned to the
various relays.
See also: Process map, BPS V12/14, Engineering documentation, CM2Z8303E
 Specify TX-I/O module migration rules.
Note: Migrating EKL-X to TX-I/O modules is indirect by migrating to PTM
modules.

4.6.1 Set Generator options

Set the options in 321-Workbench (Tools > Options).

Tab: Visonik EKX Migration of EKL-X controllers. Use this tab to define special cases for the
migration of EKX to P-bus modules throughout the project.
Note IDCs migrated in this way can still be modified later.

EKL-X module types SB1_D, SBR1-D and SBR1_DE have bistable outputs. The
corresponding P-bus modules are available in monostable or bistable versions.
Normally, old modules of this kind are replaced with type 2Q250 modules. As an
option, the bistable version can be pre-set here.

For internal use only 25 / 86

Siemens DESIGO Automation level migration CM110776en_05


Building Technologies 321-Workbench, Visonik workflow 14.09.2011
The mapping of module types SBR3_D, SBR3_DE and ST_U is for information
purposes only.
When replacing module type SBR1_P, either 4Q250P or 4Q250_AP can be
selected. When replacing one module type with another, changes in the wiring are
always necessary, due to differences in the electrical circuits. The version selected
should be the one which requires the least effort. As a rule of thumb, 4Q250_AP is
better for lighting control, otherwise use 4Q250_P.
In the case of the SBR2_D module, you can choose whether to map it to a two-
stage (4QD-M2) or 3-stage (3Q-M3) P-bus module.
The special case, ST_P, appears at the bottom of the tab. This module, type
LVF#.4601, has a 3-position output and an internal feedback signal via a resistor in
the actuator, and is thus self-balancing. This module does not exist in the P-bus
range. You must decide whether to replace it by ST3_P without feedback or ST_U.
In the first case, there will be problems with accuracy. In the second case,
electronics must be upgraded for 3-point conversion and feedback, or the actuator
must be exchanged.

4.6.2 Add missing settings for PTM modules

Since the DCS does not have all the required information in the process image,
any missing settings have to be added manually.
– In the case of signaling modules with indicators, the DIP switches on the back
cannot be read, and as a result, there is no information on the inversion status.
Similarly, it is not known whether a module does or does not have a memory
function (both IDC=16).

– With pulse switching modules and 3-point control outputs the RAN cannot be
read.

– In the case of measured values, the switch position cannot be read. The signal
transmitter is also unidentifiable.

– With switching outputs, it is not possible to determine whether or not there is a


manual operating level.

Tab: P-bus or TX-I/O The P-bus tab or TX-I/O-bus shows appropriate replacements for the EKX
bus hardware.
The P-bus tab allows for defining if the old ML modules should be replaced by
8D20E, 4D20 or 4D20/4D20R.
The TX-I/O bus tab allows for defining how PTM modules are to be migrated to TX-
I/O modules.
Hint Use the wiring diagram for additional help.

opens a dialog box for each PTM module to check and, if necessary, change
the settings.
The next subsections deal with the special features of the individual EKX modules.

4.6.2.1 ML modules

With ML modules the inversion can be selected separately for every data point.
Depending on whether you select 8D20E, 4D20 or 4D20/4D20R, either INV is set,
or a 4D20R module is inserted.
Select 4D20/4D20R if the LED on the signaling module is to indicate the actual
status.
Any other combination is allowed, provided it complies with the Visonik
requirements. However, it is not permissible to mix IDC16 (volt-free) and
IDC17(non-floating).
In the example below, the first three inputs are inverted. As a result, a 4D20R is
added. The last data point, which now no longer fits this combination, is linked to a
new 4D20 module. Ultimately of course, the arrangement is optimized to avoid the
unnecessary use of hardware.

Note MX data point restriction: If ML data points on a EKL module are summarized to
form one or several MX data points, they can be migrated automatically to PTM
modules provided they are located on the same module, in direct sequence, and
match 2D20 or 4D20 completely.

4.6.2.2 MW modules

With MW modules, the switch setting of the old module must be given for each
data point. The next stage is to select the connected sensor in each case. 321-
Workbench selects the relevant module.

4.6.2.4 STU modules

With STU modules, you are required to define which module type is to be used.
This mainly depends on whether or not the customer wants a manual operating
level. The required combination is selected via the PTM combination.

With STP modules, the actuator runtimes must be entered.

The EKL-X three-point modules have 6 outputs per module. The BPS supports a
maximum of 4 outputs per module. In such cases the software generates a new
module at the end for the remaining 2 data points.

4.6.2.6 SB modules

In the case of the SB modules, a distinction is made between SBs with and without
feedback. In the case of switch commands without feedback, you can select
whether to use modules with or without manual operation.

4.6.2.7 Switching command with feedback

There are more options for commands with feedback: Firstly, types 2QD and 4QD
are available as additional options, and secondly you can determine whether an
external local/remote contact is required. The following rules apply:
– 2QD/4QD: The feedback mechanism is an integral part of the module. If an
additional signaling module is specified, the signaling inputs are used for
external local/remote contacts.

32 / 86 For internal use only

Siemens DESIGO Automation level migration CM110776en_05


Building Technologies 321-Workbench, Visonik workflow 14.09.2011
– 2Q250: Feedback is via a 2D20.
If a 4D20 module is selected, the additional signaling inputs are used for
external local/remote contacts. Effectively – after generation – 4D20 modules
are always used, irrespective of whether a 2D20 or 4D20 was selected in the
input form. The only reason for distinguishing between the two is to allow you to
define whether or not a local/remote contact is required.
The following pictures illustrate this: For EKL-X modules $61’02 and $61’04, the
selected combination is 2Q250-M /2D20, i.e. without an external local/remote
contact.

The report view shows the result after generation: The feedback from four
switching commands is switched to a 4D20 module.

4.6.2.8 Pulse switching module

Pulse switching modules are another special feature of the SB modules.


The conversion can be set in the IDC field. This can differ from the global setting,
i.e. the setting that defines whether the conversion should be in accordance with
4Q250P (IDC 48) or 4Q250AP (IDC 49).
The pulse duration should also be entered:

4.7 Merge process units

Process units can be merged in the migration process. Any combination of EKL-X,
PRV1 and BPS can be merged.
In the process of merging, the individual P-bus rails are connected in series and
the data points are assigned new addresses. The number of load units is checked
in this process, to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum.

Prerequisites The process units must be in the same Visonik Container.

Hints – As a general rule, the addressing is retained by the first process unit specified in
the merging process.
– The first process unit you select should be the one with the most modules.

When merging several controllers to one Desigo PXC automation station (PXC-
64/128, PXC-50/100/200), check the load units as well as the max. allowed data
points. See the related data sheets for system limits.

4.8 Module migration mode

During migration, unused connections to the PTM modules can be eliminated by P-


bus compression. Existing PTM modules can be replaced by higher-performance
TX-I/O modules.
321-Workbench has five settings for module migration. These settings limit the
number of changes necessary.

Keep PTMs, wiring, and This setting ensures that the P-bus addresses and PTM modules are not changed
addresses (green) during migration. The P-bus rail is adopted without modification.

Note When process units are merged, their P-bus rails are connected in series, i.e.
physically interconnected. This makes it necessary to modify the P-bus addresses
of the second process unit. In such cases, the program automatically switches P-
bus compression for the second process unit to the next compression mode ("Keep
modules, keep wiring").

Application PRV1 and BPS migration without changing the P-bus.

Keep PTMs and wiring, This setting avoids the need to use other PTM modules for migration, or changing
compress addresses the wiring.
(yellow)
The P-bus rail is adopted without modification. P-bus addresses do change,
however.
This setting compresses the P-bus addresses. After migration, PX also makes use
of P-bus addresses which Visonik could not use (optimize gaps).

Siemens DESIGO Automation level migration CM110776en_05


Building Technologies 321-Workbench, Visonik workflow 14.09.2011
Example Although module 8D20 requires only one P-bus address, A1, P-bus addresses
A1…A4 had to be kept free in Visonik. This limitation does not exist in PX. This
setting releases P-bus addresses A2…A4 and uses them for new P-bus modules.

Application PRV1 and BPS migration, when the P-bus address range is not large enough.

Keep PTMs, change This setting avoids the need to use other PTM modules for the migration. P-bus
wiring (orange) addresses and wiring do change, however.

This setting moves data points to so far unused I/O spaces. After migration, it may
be that some modules are no longer required.

Example Only three data points are connected to the 4D20 module. Elsewhere on the P-bus
is a 4D20 module to which only one data point is connected. This setting
configures the single data point on the 4D20 module. The wiring must be changed.
The 4D20 module is now empty and can be removed.
Use: Reduce number of empty spaces.
Important: The valid result of this P-bus compression is visible only in the report
(i.e. not under the P-bus tab).

Migrate to TX I/O, This setting replaces PTM modules or EKL-X modules with TX-I/O modules. At the
change wiring (red) same time, the P-bus addresses are converted to TX-I/O island bus addresses.
And a rewiring list is created in the engineering report for PTM  TX-I/O. (See
Section 3.10).
If you select this option, you can specify if you want to use the Visonik BPS with
BIM (and IOMD) or a Desigo PXC-50/100/200-D automation station.
Note: When an EKL-X process unit is migrated to Desigo PXC-50/100/200-D, the
rewiring list is run via PTM modules, i.e. there is no direct rewiring list from EKL-X
 TX-I/O.

Retain PTM/TX-I/O This setting retains the PTM/TX-I/O modules as is including wiring and addressing.
modules In existing TX-I/O modules (e.g. PRV with BIM), the BIM is removed and the TX-I/O
wiring and addressing module connected directly to PXC-50/100/200.
(green)
If PTM modules are retained, they can be connected directly to a PXC-50/100/200
via the PXX-PBUS extension module.
Addressing can be taken over. (Example: P=1.1).

Building Technologies 321-Workbench, Visonik workflow 14.09.2011
4.8.1 Change P-bus connections

Basically migration does not impact connections to the P-bus.

However, manual adaptation of the P-bus connections required in cases where:


 Automatic migration of data points requires changes (e.g. other PTM modules or
addresses).
 Data points could not be migrated during automatic migration of data points.
These must be dealt with manually.
 New P-bus connections generated by P-bus compression need to be modified.
 Connections to the P-bus generated by migrating EKL-X process units are to be
changed.
 New P-bus connections generated by merging process units need to be
modified (other PTM modules)
 Unused connections on PTM modules are to be eliminated.
 Simple PTM modules are to be replaced with more powerful ones.
 New field devices/functions are to be implemented.

4.9 Interface modules

When migrating PRV1/BPS process units to PXC-64/128-U and PXC-50/100/200


(using the PXX-PBUS extension), PTM modules can be taken over as is.
Exception The following interface modules are not supported:
– PTE-MBUS.60
– PHM1.36TL

These modules form a predefined combination from standard ICD to P-bus. 321-
Workbench cannot identify these modules and thus displays the hardware from the
interface module. Interface modules must be acquired manually as they are not
detected automatically.

4.10 Visonik PTM migration to TX-I/O modules
Migrating PTM modules to TX-I/O modules is supported for the following cases.

Migration to Visonik BPS + BIM with TX-I/O modules


Visonik BPS is extended by a bus interface module
(BIM) to talk directly to TX-I/O modules (island bus).
BPS BIM TX-IO An IOMD file is required to configure the BIM. The
IOMD file contains the TX-I/O module addressing.

Migration to Desigo PX-100/200 with TX-I/O modules


Controller migration from Visonik PRV/BPS to Desigo
PXC-50/100/200. New TX-I/O module addresses are
created. (IOMD file not needed).
PXC-50/100/200 + TX-IO
In addition, a rewiring list is created (PTM  TX-I/O).

Restriction Migration to Desigo PX-64/128 + BIM with TX-I/O modules


 Migrating Desigo PXC-64/128 with BIM and TX-I/O modules is not supported, as
migration always requires the latest hardware configuration (i.e. the latest PXC-
50/100/200 automation stations).

4.10.1 Migration to Visonik BPS + BIM + TX-I/O modules

Select the following options if Visonik BPS is retained and new data points or
existing PTM modules are replaced with TX-I/O modules.

An IOMD file with the I/O configuration is created in this process. The P-bus
interface module BIM must be configured as per the IOMD file. The BIM

4.10.2 Migration to Desigo PX-50/100/200 + TX-I/O modules

The P-bus addresses and the PTM modules are converted to TX-I/O modules
during migration from Visonik PRV/BPS to Desigo PXC-50/100/200 with TX-I/O
modules (direct on island bus). A CDF file with the new TX-I/O module
assignments is created in the process.
In addition, a rewiring list is created for PTM  TX-I/O modules.
Adhere to the following procedure:

1. Define rails and TX-I/O modules.


a. Define the preferred rails in the TX-I/O bus tab. You can e.g. define a
distinction between mains power and control in the panel based on the P-
bus address range as needed.
b. In addition, you can select the preferred modules for input/output signals as
well as the corresponding feedback data points. The settings are saved
accordingly.

2. Generate CDF files and rewiring list


During migration to TX-I/O, the corresponding report file must be generated, as
it contains the rewiring list.

5.3 Access Unigyr data

Unigyr data can be accessed from the local PC, from a data storage medium such
as a memory stick or CD etc., or over a network.

Prerequisites – 321-Workbench requires that the project data be set up in accordance with
Unigyr data structure rules. (See Section 4.1).
– The Unigyr project is the starting point for 321-Workbench. The controllers in the
segments below the project can be selected in the 321-Workbench dialog box,
either as a whole or individually.

Note If the data is accessed over the network, the network drive must be mapped to a
drive letter. Open a connection via the Windows Explorer menu Tools > Map
network drives. Here, observe IT guidelines for drive allocation.
In addition, the names of Unigyr projects and segments must meet Rule 8.3 and
may not contain any blanks in the path.

5.4 Migration-critical hardware (Unigyr)

Desigo PX does not support all hardware components from the Unigyr
environment. For migration purposes, the following components must be replaced
by an equivalent solution.
Unigyr hardware Possible solution in Desigo PX

5.5 Merge controllers (Unigyr)

321-Workbench does not offer a function that supports merging of controllers.


Two or several controllers can be merged into one PX automation station using
XWORKS plus Point Configurator. However, the I/O addresses must be changed in
the CFC accordingly.
As an alternative, the I/O addresses can be modified in Unigyr Design before
loading into 321-Workbench. For example, P-bus addresses 1…80 can be
assigned to the first controller with the addresses of the second controller starting
at 100.

Caution! Migration to Desigo PX-64/128 + BIM with TX-I/O modules


 Migrating Desigo PXC-64/128 with BIM and TX-I/O modules is not supported,
as migration always requires the latest configuration (i.e. the latest PXC-
50/100/200).

5.8.1 Migrate to Desigo PXC-64/128-U

Migration to PXC-64/128-U while keeping PTM modules is supported as of Desigo


V2.36 and uses the same process.

The migration option must newly be selected in Desigo V4.1. The CDF file and
reports created contain all P-bus assignment information. This information can be
transferred to Desigo as is and processed further in XWORKS plus Point
Configurator.

5.8.2 Migration to Desigo PX-50/100/200 with TX-I/O

Desigo V4.1 and higher supports migration to PXC-50/100/200 and TX-I/O


modules. TX-I/O modules replace the PTM modules, thereby requiring a module
rewiring. The rewiring list PTM  TX-I/O is part of the report generated.
Migration to TX-I/O modules occurs in three steps:
1 Select target automation station PXC-50/100/200-D (see Figure 4-4). Define
the default TX-I/O modules and rails.
2 In a second step, define the rails and the default TX-I/O modules (incl.
preferred feedback modules). The definition is described already for Visonik
(see Section 3.10.2).

3 The report generated contains the rewiring list required by the panel builder.
The rewiring list for Visonik is described in Section 3.10.2.1.

6 321-Workbench, Integral workflow
321-Workbench ("three-to-one" workbench) is used to prepare the project data
from the UVI systems for migration to Desigo PX.

6.1 Prerequisites for Integral migration

Data migration from Integral to Desigo PX is based on inputs and outputs,


associated parameters, and additional setpoints.
In addition, existing text descriptions for objects can be transferred. A lot of legacy
information from the corresponding Integral controller is documented in a report.

Note Existing graphics information from Integral Plan is not evaluated (e.g. for
conversion into Desigo PX graphics).

6.1.1 Integral system information

Integral is a heterogeneous system created and extended over many years. The
RS module serves as the basis for automation level control of the system. The
automation level is integrated via interfaces (e.g. NICO-N) in the system controller
(NCRS); the RS modules can be connected directly to the management station
using NITEL.

Important!  For correct migration to Desigo PX, the data from the customer site must be
updated with the engineering data.
 The project data of an Integral project must first be updated before exporting
Integral project data using 321-Workbench.

 For migration to PX RS bus: What Integral RS information points must be
provided to the BACnet environment.
 Assess communications interface at AS: Modem, local printer, network, etc.
 Assess hardware.
 Room operator units, operator unit NBRN, PXM-10/20, door integration.
 Panel, space requirements and mounting options for Desigo PX automation
stations and P-bus interface.
 Parallel operation with NCRS or Nitel.
 Wiring, supply.

 RS diagrams.
 Log TSP and calendar entries.
 Network restoration functions.
 E-max peak load program.
 tx2 Economizer
 Display of common fault messages, acknowledge and reset faults.
 Special application program functions.

Note The following data cannot be read from the RS modules and documented:
 Current setpoints from schedulers.
 Current runtime totalizers.

Existing object data Object data that already exists in the RS module and has been evaluated is not

6.3.2.1 Connect RS modules

Use an NARC interface converted to connect the RS bus to a PC COM port: The
RS232 interface (on the PC) is converted to RS485 (on the RS bus).

The PC (COM port) is connected via null modem cable to the interface (3). The flat
ribbon cable (6) is connected to the RS bus.
Use the RS-Reader to read all RS modules on a trunk.

6.4 Integral migration options

The workflows differ depending on the selected migration option (PXC-NRUD,


PXC-NRUF or PX RS-BUS).

6.4.1 Migrate to PXC NRUD

As PX generally has greater performance than an NRUA..NRUD RS module,


several NRUx modules can be mapped to a PX automation station (PXC-64/128 +
PBUS-BIM or PXC-100/200-D) via a PBUS-BIM. To do this, the NRUx modules are
grouped within the same group (e.g. group 0). The group number itself has NO
function.
PXC-NRUD actually is 6 virtual TX-I/O modules on one board. To address the 6
TX-I/O modules, only the base address (offset) of the first module must be
indicated (e.g. 1) for each PXC-NRUD. The remaining 5 modules are automatically
addressed continuously (2-6).

Per default, 321-Workbench automatically assigns the offset, i.e. at the first PXC-
NRUD, Offset =1 (addresses 1-6), at the second PXC-NRUD, Offset =7 (addresses

Building Technologies 321-Workbench, Integral workflow 14.09.2011
7-12) etc. The offsets generally must be adapted manually only if other (normal)
TX-I/O modules are connected to the same PBUS-BIM.

NRUA..NRUD migration The PXC-NRUD card has an island


to PXC-64/128-U with bus connection and can be
BIM and PXC-NRUD connected to a PXC-64/128-U
automation station via P-bus BIM.
The NK modules remain in the
PXC-64/128-U BIM PXC-NRUD NK modules
panel; PXC-NRUD replaces Integral
NRUD.

NRUA..NRUD migration As the PXC-NRUD card has an


to PXC-100/200 and island bus connection, it can be
PXC-NRUD connected to Desigo V4.1 using an
island bus supply TXS1.12F10 to a
PXC-100/200-D automation station.
PXC-100/200D PXC-NRUD NK modules
No BIM is required.

6.4.1.1 Features of the PXC-NRUD adapter for Integral NK modules

Features  The PXC-NRUD adapter can be connected to a Desigo automation


station PXC-64/128-U with P-bus interface module TXB1.P-BUS (BIM).
 As an alternative, a PXC-100/200-D (without BIM) can be used.
 The PXC-NRUD adapter serves as replacement for the modular
automation stations NRUA/A, NRUB/A, NRUC/A, and NRUD/A.
 The PXC-NRUD adapter has the same housing; the card can be
inserted in an existing NHGB housing.
 Same periphery interface (plug compatible).
 Existing periphery can be assumed without a change.

6.4.1.2 Configure BIM (using BIM tool)

BIM must be configured accordingly if the PXC NRUD adapter is used together
with a PXC-64/128-U (+ BIM). To do this, load an IOMD configuration file in the
BIM.
The IOMD file can be generated by opening the BIM tool if the I/O addresses are
checked in the I/O Address Editor and there are not conflicts.
1. Start the BIM tool via CFC menu Chart  BIM Tool.
2. The BIM tool starts and the generated IOMD configuration is loaded in the
tool.
3. The I/O configuration can be adapted in the BIM tool before loading it in BIM
via Tools  Write to BIM.

See the BIM tool online help file for detailed information.

6.5 Generate CDF file and report

Function (Tools > CDF/Generate report) calculates the migration data. In


addition, the selected files are created (CDF and/or report files).
Details of the process, in the form of INFO, WARNING and ERROR messages, are
displayed in the log window or saved in the log file. WARNING and ERROR
messages are also written to the report file.
Generation is only carried out for the projects or modules selected in the tree
structure. If nothing is selected, the function is inactive. The same applies in
principle to the creation of CDF and report files.

6.5.1 Log window

The log window displays the steps during generation along with information,
warnings and error messages.
Note the following information in the log window:
– CANCEL: No properly functioning CDF file.
– ERROR: Migration not completed.
– WARNING: Indicates that a migration solution was generated that still requires
certain actions (e.g. replacement of hardware, manual adjustment of data points
etc.).

The contents of the last log window are saved in file

6.5.2 Generate report

The report is based on the following settings:


 Project settings: Determines the project information and description.
 Options: Determines the file name and path.
 Report tab: Determines the contents.

Note These settings must be defined prior to generation.


If Generate Report File (above the tree view) is selected, the report is created
automatically during generation.
A separate report is created for each process unit selected.
The reports are written to the folder ..\ProjectName\_AL_Mig_Report or to the
relevant PS folder (in accordance with the option selected via Tools > Options,
Generator tab).
After a report is generated, it can be displayed directly via the preview option
(Report Preview tab – this tab is not displayed unless a report is available).

8.1 Create PX application

Use the normal XWORKS plus workflow to create the PX application. The following
sections refer only to special aspects which should be noted when migrating UVI
controllers to a PX automation station.
The following documents contain information on selecting the right solution or
creating the application:
– 321-Workbench Report (e.g. for Unigyr: Desigo plant recommendation).
– Existing plant diagram.
– Other plant documentation.

8.1.1 Select a solution in XWORKS plus

1. Set up a new project in XWP Project Manager.


2. Create a suitable controller in the XWP Project-Manager or XWP Network-
Configurator: Example:
 PXC-64/128 for PTM modules.
 PXC-50/100/200 for TX-I/O modules or
 PXC-50/100/200 with PXX-PBUS for TX-I/O and PTM modules.
3. Select the automation station and go to
a. XWP Point-Configurator
b. CFC

8.1.1.1 Select a solution in Point Configurator

1. Select Get data points from solution in the Point Configurator.


2. Right-click the desired hierarchy and select a new solution.
3. The Solution Browser dialog box opens, allowing you to select a proven

mapping
Start XWP Point Configurator from XWP Project Manager or XWP Network
Configurator. Use task Automation Level Migration in XWP Point Configurator to
map the UVI data points.

1. Load UVI migration data in XWP Point Configurator.


The UVI migration data (CDF file) created in 321-Workbench can now be
loaded into XWP Point Configurator.
The CDF file(s) are in the migration project directory:
..\ProjectName\_AlMig_Cdf\*.cdf*“
2. Select File > Import CDF File…
UVI migration data are loaded and displayed in the UVI table.

Caution!  Pay attention to what is generated in 321-Workbench. When, for example,


migrating to PXC-64/128 while keeping the PTM modules in 321-Workbench,
the CDF file cannot be loaded in a PXC-50/100/200 automation station.

 Vice-versa, a CDF file created for migration to PXC-50/100/200 (with TX-I/O


modules) no longer can be loaded in a PXC-64/18 automation station!

In XWP Point Configurator, a number of CDF files from different UVI controllers can
be loaded (e.g. in cases where several were merged to one PX automation
station).
Note To avoid address conflicts, you must set up 321-Workbench accordingly (e.g.: via
TX-I/O address offset)!
When several controllers were loaded in the XWP Point Configurator, they can be
removed individually by selecting the automation station and Unload CDF (right in
the legacy view).

9.1 Mapping options

Set the mapping options via Tools  Options or the toolbar.

You can take over (description) texts and unit texts. The following options are
available:
Unigyr Visonik Integral
Description text Name TXI, TXI2, TXI3, Description or
Text normalization, object name
Text replacement (ä,ö,ü)
Selection: (No action, take over text, append text).
Unit text Take over selectable unit texts (default setting is off).
User designation UD Select if User Designation (UD) is
taken over (default is Off).

Important – In PX, the data point description is limited to 32 characters. If this limit is
violated, the text is limited to 32 characters and a warning is output.

– XWP Point Configurator allows you to edit the texts in the Desigo object table.

Notes – From now on, this setting applies to all future mappings.

– The text taken over is displayed in the left pane when you take over legacy texts
during mapping. The text is not reset when you resolve the mapping.

– However, you can edit the text any time in the Desigo object table.

9.2 Map data points

The procedure to map data points differs individually and dependent on the project
(e.g. technical hierarchy structure or data point type).
We generally recommend the following two steps to map data points:
1. Map all possible legacy data points to the selected solution.
2. Check all unmapped legacy data points and newly engineer the associated
data points in either XWP Point Configurator or CFC.
3. Map all remaining data points to the newly created PX data points.
4. Address all remaining PX data points.
Hint: Previously mapped data points can be hidden.

Hide previously mapped data points in Point Configurator

Hint: Check if the text mapping rules are set correctly prior to mapping.

9.2.1 Map data points

We recommend to map data points by type. To do this, use the context-sensitive


data point filter which works on both the PX data view as well as the legacy (UVI)
data view.

1. Select the legacy (UVI) data point in the legacy data view. You can set
additional filters to further limit the selection.

For internal use only 73 / 86

Siemens DESIGO Automation level migration CM110776en_05


Building Technologies XWORKS plus: Point Configurator mapping 14.09.2011
2. Select the data point and map to the corresponding PX data point.
Important! XWP Point Configurator only allows for technically feasible and meaningful
mappings. You can only once map a data point. Corresponding parameters are
taking over during mapping; Description texts and Unit texts are taken over as per
the Option dialog box settings. The signal type is taken over from the legacy
attributes where possible.

General explanations on "Automation Level Migration", or the above picture:


 The lower two tables show detailed information on the selected legacy object
row.
 The legacy object is selected when a mapped Desigo object is selected (or vice-
versa).
– A tooltip on the Desigo object row shows the mapped legacy objects.
– A tooltip on the Type legacy object column shows the compatible Desigo
object type.
– A tooltip on the CDF combo box shows the CDF file loaded originally.

9.2.2 Feedback mapping

XWP Point Configurator allows you to map feedback to a PX data point (AO, BO,
MO) on outputs.
If, for example, you are mapping a Visonik SBR1 DP to a PX-BO, the feedback
address is mapped automatically also. You can manually map another Visonik ML
to the corresponding PX-BO, if you want to first map a different feedback. However,
you must always first map the output.
The mapping must be technically feasible, i.e. the corresponding modules (PTM,
TX-I/O) must support it.

9.2.3 Multistate mapping

XWP Point Configurator allows you to map several data points to a PX multistate
data point (MI, MO).
For example, two Visonik ML data points can be mapped to one PX MI data point
while at the same time allowing for defining the signal sequence via a popup dialog
box.
Selection of signal
sequence for multistate
mapping

The same is true when mapping several data points to an MO (including feedback).
With MO, the output signals must be mapped before feedback. Thus for example, a
Visonik SB1 to a PX-MO (with 2 Visonik ML to the MO as feedback).
Multistate mapping
with feedback

The above example shows multistate mapping of Visonik SBR2 and SBR to Desigo
MO. In this case, the feedback of the SBR is mapped also. In the selected data
point, two Visonik ML data points (1.1 and 1.2) were mapped individually as
feedback.

Caution!  Take note if you are mapping to PTM or TX-I/O modules during multistate
mapping.
 Restriction when mapping to TX-I/O modules: Mapping several legacy
BI/BOs to one Desigo MI or MO requires that all data points be located on the
same module, and that the channels are in sequence without gaps.
 This restriction does not apply to PTM modules where an MO can be located on
any modules/channels.

9.3 Map trend objects

When they are migrated to Desigo, trend objects already contain a BACnet
reference to the data point to be logged.
1. Map first the trended UVI data points (e.g. outside temperature or counter
values) to the corresponding PX data points. (Red in the picture).
2. Trendlog objects cannot be created in Point Configurator. Create thus the
required Trendlog objects in the CFC.
3. Map the UVI trend objects (Visonik trend object, Unigyr registration object) to
the PX trend log object (TRNDLOG).
(Blue in the picture).

The data point information (e.g. technical address (TD), BACnet reference) is
adopted automatically in this process.

4. Create a mapping file (e.g. ADP trend mapping file) to check the trendlogs.

Caution!  You must always first map or import trended data points, followed by the
associated trendlog objects.

 Only the trend block's object parameters are taken over if values not from a
mapped I/O data point were recorded with the trend block.
In this case, you must manually revise the BACnet references to the objects in
the CFC.

9.4 Create data points in Point Configurator

XWP Point Configurator allows you to create PX data points from legacy (UVI) data
points.
1. In the legacy data view, select several data points (multiple selection) and
drag and drop them in the PX Tree view for mapping (in the desired
hierarchy).

2. The Define Names dialog box opens after you drag and drop the data
points in the hierarchy. You can now select a short name and the desired
start index. When mapping several data points, the index based on the start
index is incremented by 1.
Sound and meaningful naming is really important, as the data point name
should match that of a later Insight genie.

The created data points are displayed as mapped data points. The
associated, transformable parameters are taken over.

Hint The dialog box allows for multiple object selection. As a result, you can create
many objects in the right PX structure at the same time (e.g. electric data points or
additional message points).

9.5 Generate in the CFC

We recommend to check CFC data for completeness and make sure there are not
errors prior to generating the CFC data. You can do this in Point Configurator or the
generated Excel checklist.

Are all data points mapped?


Two variants to check:

Variant 1: 1. Visual check to see if all PX data points are mapped to a legacy data point.
2. Select "Hide mapped objects" to no longer display PX data points.

Variant 2: 1. Create a mapping table (to check) via "Generate Mapping File".

2. A CSV file is created under the corresponding AS. You can filter column
"Mapping" for all assigned data points (MAPPED), PX data points not mapped
(Desigo) as well as legacy data points (e.g. Visonik) not yet mapped.

Mapping table (CSV file)

Create CFC data The mapped data points are created in the CFC via a file followed by navigation to
the CFC Editor.
11 Select File  Generate CFC data and Exit or click the button to create the
CFC data.

9.6.1 Data import limitation (Unigyr)
9.6.1.1 Interconnected pins

A value can only be adopted from a Unigyr program if the value was entered
directly at the relevant pin of the Unigyr block. If the value is supplied to the pin via
a connection, it cannot be adopted.

9.6.1.2 Value range

If values greater than the permitted Desigo value range from a Unigyr program are
to be taken over, an error message is displayed (value greater than value range);
e.g. current counter status of counter value in Unigyr = 80000, but the counter
value is limited to 50000 (PrVal.Max) in Desigo.

Procedure Set PrVal.Max of the relevant Desigo object manually to a sufficiently high value.
Caution Parameters PrVal.Max and HiLm are interdependent. If PrVal.Max is set to infinity,
HiLm in Desigo Insight can only be set with the slider with great difficulty. For this
reason, set a realistic value for PrVal.Max.

9.6.2 Take over engineering units

When mapping objects, the units are transferred together with the PX parameters
(selected in the Options dialog box). As a rule, unit texts are not taken over, as the
units in the Desigo solutions already contain the right unit texts.
If units are still taken over from a legacy system, they can be taken over as is, or
via unit mapping file translated in a standard Desigo unit.
In this case, the mapping can be defined directly in the mapping file. Units that are
not yet supported by the Desigo system must be converted appropriately.

Add to the unit 1 Öffnen Sie die Unit Mapping-Datei mit Notepad:
mapping file C:\Program Files\Siemens\Desigo\XWP500\Bin\DMEUnitMap.xml
2 Add the missing unit to section <UserDefinedUnits>.
The relevant PXUnitId is located in
<PxDefinedUnits> further below.

Note: We recommend creating a


backup copy prior to editing the units.

10 XWORKS plus: Revise in the CFC
After mapping UVI data in XWORKS plus Point Configurator, the solution is
generated in CFC data storage.

10.1 Clean up I/O address conflicts in CFC

The mapped data generated by XWP Point Configurator is now loaded into the
CFC. In the event of address conflicts, use the CFC I/O Address Editor to check
them.

1 Open the corresponding AS in the CFC.


2 Clean up the Desigo project by opening the I/O Address Editor.
Check for conflicting I/O addresses in the CFC I/O Address Editor.
Check the correct modules and signal types.

Note New: You can connect PTM modules directly to the PXC-50/100/200 usign the
PXX-PBUS extension module. Note that data point addressing must defer to the
subsystem (island bus, P-bus). Thus, address P=1.1 and T=1.1 is possible.

10.1.1 Special note for Integral

Check the following settings in the I/O Address Editor of the CFC.

 I/O Address Editor: Check module type, data points and units.
 I/O address conflicts.
 Further settings to check:
o Controller setting.
o Scheduler programs / calendar entries.
o Storage for trendlog objects, i.e. notification threshold and buffer size,
interval.
o Modem setting.
o Heating curves / HRA / OSSC.
o Delay times/Timer/alarm response and properties.
o Plant control and operating modes in ENSEL_MS, CMD_CTL,
PWR_CTL.

All settings are listed in the migration report.

10.1.1.1 Solution PXC-NRUD (via BIM)

Remember to check the following for PXC-NRUD via BIM (bus interface module)
and adapt as needed (via the CFC, I/O Address Editor):
– Definition of data points and module types: In PXC-NRUD, the module type must
be set for all I/Os to value TXV1.8NK.
– Multistate inputs and outputs require manual adjustment.
– Manually set feedback addresses.
– Manually revise units (unit texts) as needed.

For internal use only 81 / 86

Siemens DESIGO Automation level migration CM110776en_05


Building Technologies XWORKS plus: Revise in the CFC 14.09.2011
– If PXC-NRUD is connected directly to the PXC-50/200/200, the module is set
direct to NRUD in the Point Configurator.

10.1.1.2 Solution PXC-NRUF

Manually revise as needed in the I/O Address Editor analogous to PXC-NRUD (see
section 10.1.1.1 )

10.1.1.3 Solution PX RS bus

The specific settings were set previously via the options in 321-Workbench.

Note We recommend to activate all options for RS bus. This at most generates more
DMAP objects than needed in XWORKS plus. They can be removed in the CFC.
Furthermore, the settings assumed automatically can be revised retroactively in the
I/O Address Editor as needed analogous to PXC-NRUD (see section 10.1.1.1)

10.2 Save project data on the BOS

XWP Point Configurator automatically saves its data in AlMig, located within the
AS project data. As a result, data generated in XWP Point Configurator, are saved
automatically to the BOS server.
1. Go to AlMig data:
2. Select the AS in XWP Project Manager.
3. Right-click and select Go to storage location“.
4. Subfolder AlMig contains the associated data.

Important! The data from the legacy system (UVI) and the migration project folder of 321-
Workbench (CDF, report) is not saved in this folder. If e.g. the 321-Workbench
project or the corresponding legacy files are (e.g. Unigyr PLN file) are to be saved
also, we recommend copying it to the Al-Mig subfolder or administer the legacy
data as Misc folder in the XWP project.

11 Migrate PDM/ADP/CC data
The goal of migration is to keep the old data series and replace it with the
corresponding new series for data upload. This means that the old, base-data
series is replaced and deactivated for data import. The migration tool creates a
logical data series to join the old and new series together. The old series is
replaced by a new logical series in reports or calculated series.
The following model shows how the new data series is joined with the old data
series.

After migration in Toolbox.net, the ADP reports contain a link to a new created
logical data series and not to the old base or derived data series as before. The
executed report containing the link to the logical displays both data from the old
and the new data series.
In the migration tool Toolbox.net only base data series are displayed as possible
source series. No derived series is displayed for migration. But how about derived
data series? Migration automatically creates a new derived data series for an
existing one to get the same structure as before. The old and new derived data
series are joined together by a new logical data series. This logical data series is
referenced in calculated data series and reports.

Trend mapping file The information on trended UVI data points (old data) and the mapped PX data
points (new data) can be created in a trend mapping file (.CSV) in XWORKS plus
Point Configurator. This contains a summary of all the available migration data and
is suitable for setting up the ADP migration.

Mapping trendlog objects is described in Section .

12 Adapt Desigo Insight
Existing Desigo Insight graphics cannot be adopted automatically in the course of
migration to Desigo PX. The graphics must be revised manually. Note that all the
existing genies in the UVI libraries must be replaced in this process. Genies from
the global library (G library) and static graphics such as pipes, ducts or text items
can still be used. With the aid of DIGG and the integrated report function, a list can
be created showing the genies used. This makes it easy to check for "alien"
genies on the page or in the project after editing.

Procedure 1 Start the Graphics Generator.


2 Select Report > Pages.
3 Select the checkboxes to select the relevant pages.

4 Click Start. The report is created and saved in project folder \diggdata.
5 Open the Report.txt file with a text editor.
6 Select Edit > Find.
7 For Visonik enter "DCS" as the search criterion.
For Unigyr enter "Unigyr" as the search criterion.
For Integral enter "NCRS" as the search criterion.
8 Click OK.

Sample Report.txt file: Page Grafik.AHU1 contains:


Object: Genie(PX.p2_ya000.ca000_3_tz01_sg)
Property: Field(Privilege) = "2"
Property: Field(Area) = "0"
