OZW Integration

The OZW adapter allows Desigo CC to integrate data provided by the OZW devices. It can be installed on a remote computer different from the Desigo CC server.

 

The adapter is not part of the Desigo CC installation.
After installation, the adapter installer package (MSI) is available in [Installation Drive]:\Installation Folder]\GMSMainProject\AddSW\OZW_150.
Once you install and start this software service, the adapter is ready to be executed and used by Desigo CC.
For instructions, see Installing, Setting, and Starting the OZW Adapter.

To integrate the OZW adapter, a SORIS driver and a SORIS network (monitored by one SORIS driver) must be created and configured. For instructions, see Configuring OZW.

Once the adapter object is created, it starts automatically as a Windows service using the http or https protocol. You can also start the adapter manually:

  • Using the http protocol: double-click the executable Siemens.Gms.OZWAdapter.exe available in the file system with the installation.
  • Using the https protocol: enter –secure:[thumbprint] by command line.

NOTE: In the adapter installation folder, the following batch files are also available:
- StartAdapter_HTTP.bat
- StartAdapter_HTTPS.bat
- Install_AdapterAsService_HTTP.bat
- Install_AdapterAsService_HTTPS.bat
- Uninstall_AdapterAsService.bat
See also Installing, Setting, and Starting the OZW Adapter.

For each adapter created, it is necessary to configure the URL IP address of the computer from which the network adapter is run. For instructions, see Configuring OZW.

If the OZW adapter is connected to Desigo CC but not to the OZW Device, all OZW points display #COM, and a MainDevice Disconnected event occurs.
