Secure KNX Integration and Centralized System Connectivity without Complex Configurations
With the NETx BMS App Secure, the NETx BMS App, and the NETx Tunneller, KNX projects can be securely imported, systems centrally connected, and stable communication ensured - all without complex configurations.
Tools
NETx BMS App Secure
NETx BMS App Secure
The NETx BMS App Secure enables easy import of KNX projects from ETS into the NETx Core Server, including all meta information. It automates KNX group address assignment and generates a comprehensive export file that contains KNX group addresses, security information for KNXnet/IP, network topology, and KNX/DALI gateway configurations for NETx LaMPS. This simplifies secure project integration with enhanced visibility and management.
NETx BMS App
This previous version is compatible with the NETx KNX OPC Server and available for ETS4 but lacked support for exporting Secure KNX/IP routers and KNX/DALI gateways. While suitable for the NETx BMS Server, using the newer NETx BMS App Secure is recommended for enhanced functionality and security features.
NETx Tunneller
NETx Tunneller
The NETx Tunneller offers a streamlined connection between third-party OPC clients and NETx servers, such as the NETx BMS Server, by installing directly on the OPC client’s PC. It establishes a visual connection to the OPC client and communicates with NETx servers via the VNET protocol, avoiding complex firewall and DCOM configurations. Supporting remote VNET connections over TCP/IP, it’s also available for main/backup setups, making it ideal for secure and reliable integrations.
Technical Details

Previous version of the NETx BMS App Secure
- For NETx KNX OPC Server
- Also available for ETS4
- No support for export of Secure KNX / IP routers and KNX / DALI gateways
