Siemens provides a portfolio of products, solutions, systems and services that includes
security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and
networks. In the field of Building Technologies, this includes building automation and control,
fire safety, security management as well as physical security systems.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art security
concept. Siemens’ portfolio only forms one element of such a concept.
You are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to your plants, systems, machines
and networks which should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and
to the extent such a connection is necessary and only when appropriate security measures
(e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place. Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on
appropriate security measures should be taken into account. For additional information,

Introduction
The Intelligent Valve EVG.. and EVF.. can be integrated into the Desigo System via BACnet
capable PX Primary Controllers. The integration into the PX primary controller is facilitated
with a prepared solution (compound), specific for EVG.. and EVF.. devices. Once integrated
into the PX Primary Controller, integration into Desigo CC is easily possible with Desigo
CC’s proven Desigo PX System Integration and pre-engineered graphics in the Desigo CC
Graphics Library.

Up to 10 EVG../EVF.. devices are supported downstream of each PX Primary Controller.

Overview of workflows
This section introduces the reader to the engineering and commissioning workflows of the
Intelligent Valve EVG../EVF.. within the described Desigo environment.
In general, one can distinguish between two basic workflows.

Intelligent Valve Integration Workflow 1: hydronic balancing with ABT Site

In this workflow, engineering, commissioning and balancing of the Intelligent Valves are all
performed with ABT Site. This workflow is recommended when engineering, commissioning
and balancing are all under the responsibility of the same company.

done with ABT Go. This workflow is recommended when balancing is under the
responsibility of an external company.
