IMPORT FROM ETS
Introduction
HORIZONE SERVER can import the project created in ETS completely automatically to speed up
the creation of KNX objects. You can also import repeatedly in the same project after making
changes in ETS; HORIZONE SERVER interprets the changes and only makes the necessary
adjustments to the supervision, without losing any previous configurations.
Supported formats
You can import the project from ETS in the following formats:
FORMAT
DESCRIPTION
RESTRICTIONS
ESF + PHD Export for OPC
CSV
Export group addresses
Contains only the list of group addresses; information on
the type of data to be entered by hand, if any
To generate export files in
ESF / PHD format
, select the “EXPORT TO OPC SERVER” entry in ETS.
This procedure generates two files with the following extension:
ESF
Contains group addresses, their labels, and relationships with other group addresses
PHD
Contains the physical addresses of the devices in the project
HORIZONE SERVER can import KNX addresses from a
CSV file
as follows:
●
Tab as column separator
●
Label of group addresses in the first column
●
Group address in second column
●
Bit length in third column
This type of file can be generated manually (for example, by using Microsoft Excel) or automatically
by ETS software. In the latter case, it is necessary to:
●
Select the branch of group addresses that you want to export
●
Select “EXPORT GROUP ADDRESSES” from the context menu
