SCAME S81-HS Configuration (CSV) File

To integrate the SCAME S81-HS fire detection system into Desigo CC you must first prepare a textual configuration file in CSV (comma separated values) format that defines the servers-groups-items structure.

To do this, use Microsoft Excel or a text editor to edit the configuration file.
NOTE: Use a comma (,) as separator.

You can then use this file to import the configuration.

For reference information about the OPC configuration CSV file, see CSV File for Third-party OPC Devices.

To obtain pre-configured CSV sample files to edit, contact the Technical Support team.

Having a pre-configured CSV file with OPC tags already defined for each object reduces the risk of entering invalid OPC items names that might result in communication error when reading the OPC tags.

Pre-configured sample files can be used to create custom configuration files by adding or removing points, according to the specific configuration.

Additionally, since the device points are imported into Management View as a flat list, pre-configured sample files also provide a predefined Management View structure, made by means of OPC groups.
