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 BMS 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.

Due to the success of KNX, also the range of available KNX products is extending. The applications that need to loaded into KNX devices, can be downloaded from the individual KNX member company websites. This task a such can be very cumbersome. With the ETS App "Online KNX Product Catalog" this situation has changed, the required product catalogs can now be retrieved from within ETS4. The offered product catalogs can differ by manufacturer, language and availability per country. It is no longer necessary to download complete product catalogs. This ETS App is especially interesting for beginners and regular users.

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)

Compare your current ETS project with an earlier version of the project (knxproj file or restore point) and get a detailed list of all differences for each individual project element. Jump directly from the difference list to the corresponding element. Many options control details of the comparison.
