Integrating Edwards EST3 Panels Through Offline Configuration

Scenario

Desigo CC is not yet connected to an Edwards EST3 fire panel, and you want to prepare the configuration in offline mode by editing and importing data from an EDE file.For background information on the Edwards EST3 extension, see the reference section.

The offline configuration through an EDE file requires more engineering, but it can address complex requirements that need a non-standard association of Functions.
Performing online discovery is recommended instead if Desigo CC is already connected to the Edwards EST3 fire panel, and you do not have to address complex configuration requirements.

Prerequisites

The Edwards EST3 extension module is installed and included in the active project.

To be able to work with EDE files, you manually added the following extension:

Desigo System (Core)

System Manager is in Engineering mode.
System Browser is in Management View.
