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.
NETx BMS App Secure for ETS
The NETx BMS App Secure is a plugin for ETS that allows secure and centralized handling of KNX project data. It offers an encrypted connection to the NETx BMS Platform, enabling smooth data exchange and simplifying project maintenance through direct import of group addresses from ETS. The app integrates seamlessly into the ETS interface and is designed for efficient and user-friendly project management.
PLEASE NOTE: The NETx BMS App Secure is intended for use with ETS 6, while the NETx BMS App is available for those still working with ETS 5.
NETx Tunneller
NETx Tunneller
The NETx Tunneller simplifies the connection between OPC clients and NETx servers by installing directly on the client PC. It uses the VNET protocol to avoid complex firewall and DCOM settings and supports remote connections over TCP/IP, including main/backup setups for reliable integration.
Technical Details
- Complete KNX Project Export: Exports the entire ETS project, including areas, lines, devices, communication objects, building/trade views, group addresses, and configured KNXnet/IP routers and interfaces.
Support for KNXnet/IP Security: Includes export of IP and security parameters of KNXnet/IP routers and interfaces, enabling secure communication.
Topology-Based Router Assignment: Automatically links each group address to the correct router or interface. If no static IP is defined in ETS, the app requests manual input – ensuring efficient routing and avoiding unnecessary broadcasts.
Secure KNXnet/IP Interface Export: All relevant KNXnet/IP router and interface security configurations are included in the export, covering key and authentication data.
- LaMPS and DALI Support: Automatically exports the configuration of KNX/DALI gateways required by the LaMPS module, including settings for emergency lighting tests, fault detection, grouping, and other DALI-related functions. Missing ETS configurations are detected and flagged during export.
- App Versions:
- NETx BMS App Secure: For ETS 6
- NETx BMS App: For ETS 5
Convenient connection between third-party OPC clients and the NETx servers
- Simplifies the connection of OPC clients from third-party manufacturers (e.g. external visualization) with the NETx server products (NETx BMS Server, NETx KNX OPC Server)
- Installation on the PC of the third-party OPC client
- Ocular connection between OPC client and NETx Tunneller, this communicates with the NETx server via its own VNET protocol
- There is no need for complex Windows firewall or Windows DCOM configuration
- Remote VNET connection via TCP/IP
- Also available for main/backup solutions
