Benefits for the Electrical Installer and System Integrator



SIMPLIFIED COMMISSIONING

The update significantly simplifies the commissioning process, allowing installers to import the KNX project, start visualization, and add controls and group addresses easily via drag & drop. Additionally,  BACnet IP and Modbus TCP are now supported. The commissioning happens centrally via the ProService Portal.

Easier commissioning thanks to direct group address connection.

REMOTE ACCESS & PROGRAMMING

The update provides installers with the option of remote access, allowing them to program the complete KNX system remotely via a secure connection. This eliminates the need for additional trips to the site after commissioning accelerating maintenance and increase efficiency.

 

ENHANCED EFFICIENCY & TESTING

The new Graphical Logic Editor enables installers to graphically create and test both simple and complex functions in advance, thereby increasing work efficiency and helping to avoid errors.

 

EASIER TROUBLESHOOTING 

Thanks to the KNX Telegram recorder (online + offline) installers identify issues within an installation by capturing telegrams from various devices. This enables remote troubleshooting and proactive monitoring. Additionally, the device includes a KNX router, eliminating the need for a separate purchase. In addition, the Auto Update functionality eliminates the need for the installer to visit the building site to install firmware/software updates, making the update process more convenient and efficient.
