Central Function Concept
There are central functions within Desigo Automation for occupancy, lighting, shading, and emergency lights. This permits joint control of rooms belonging to a group as well as manual operation on the management platform or using a scheduler. The individual states can be displayed and switched using the Central Functions Viewer.
The figure illustrates how the central function acts on the individual rooms, if data does not flow. There are only two renters.

A | Test group 1 | Controls the test function for emergency lighting for group 1. |
B | Test report group 1 | Controls the test report for emergency lighting for group 1. |
C | Test group 2 | Controls the test function for emergency lighting for group 2. |

E | Fire alarm | Switches on emergency lighting in halls and stairwells. The signal occurs via a binary input that normally is controlled by a separate Danger Management System. Desigo Automation is then used to control lighting. |
NOTE:
A building must be subdivided into a minimum of two test groups to guarantee the availability of emergency lighting.
