To import the configuration of a KNX project into a management application like an OPC server, the ETS offers an export function called "Export OPC". This export functionality provides only basic information about the KNX installation. The NETx BMS App is a user-friendly way to import the whole KNX project and its meta-information into the NETx BMS Server or the NETx KNX OPC Server. The output of this ETS App is an enhanced export file that contains the used KNX Group Addresses, the deployed KNXnet/IP routers and interfaces, and the full ETS project structure including the network topology (areas, lines, devices, and Group Objects) as well as the building and trade view. In addition, the App detects the configured IP addresses of the KNXnet/IP routers and interfaces. Based on the topology of the KNX project, the App automatically assigns the KNX Group Addresses to the routers and interfaces that are later on used for accessing them. Thus, a manual, time-consuming and error-prone assignment of the KNX Group Addresses to the KNXnet/IP routers and interfaces is not necessary anymore. Using the NETx BMS App, the whole KNX project including the well-known ETS view can be imported into the NETx BMS Server or NETx KNX OPC Server in a fast and intuitive way.
The NETx BMS App Secure is a user-friendly way to import the whole KNX project and its meta-information into the NETx Server. The export file contains enhanced information like the used KNX group addresses, the deployed (secure) KNXnet/IP routers and interfaces, and the full ETS project structure including the network topology (areas, lines, devices, and communication objects) as well as the building and trade view. Compared to the standard NETx BMS App, the NETx BMS App Secure also exports the information required to access secure KNXnet/IP routers and interfaces. Furthermore, it allows the export of the configuration of KNX/DALI gateways that is used by the NETx LaMPS Module.
Project Data Exchange helps you to transfer ETS project data like topology, Group Addresses and building structure by exporting and importing
* between ETS projects
* between ETS and other tools (e.g. CAD programs)
The current app version works only from ETS 5.7.2!
Siemens offers the possibility to exchange data from SIMATIC S7 PLC to KNX systems via KNXnet/IP interfaces. This ETS App enables the user to export a Group Address data (Main addresses 0-15) from ETS in a CSV file which can be imported to Siemens KNX2S7 Editor. The additional available KNX2S7 Editor creates required data for SIMATIC S7.
Demonstration of the KNX Web service information model. Allows to create an XML file with the KNX information model from an ETS project.
The exported project can be used with the KNX Web service gateway demo.
