Reconstruction of project data

For sure this is not new to you: An ETS Project is provided to you or you are instructed to change or expand an existing plant but the data you need are missing. In this case you know about the long and hard way to create the complete data in the project again. The ETS App Reconstruction will help you to make no longer available data accessible or to update the data. Reconstruction is a tool from the IT GmbH, which is available since the days of ETS2.

What does the Reconstruction do?

Lost or no longer available ETS project data can be recreated with the help of the Reconstruction. The devices in the plant can be read out completely or in parts including their parameters and group address allocations. It is irrelevant whether the plant was programmed by an older version of ETS like ETS3, ETS2 or even ETS1. After reading the data, the Reconstruction can create KNX project data to insert them into the current ETS project or to compare them with the current project data.

What kinds of data are reconstructed?

Possible data to be reconstructed are i.e. topology (like areas and lines), device information including the used application programs, parameter settings, group object flags and priority, physical addresses as well as allocated group addresses.

New Features

• easy search for product data
• new online service of the IT GmbH
• reconstruction of modern “modular” application programs
• support for segment couplers and KNX Secure devices
• recognition of coupler products

Fill Visalization Dummy

Fill visualization dummy helps you to link a (dummy) device in the ETS with a list of group addresses, e.g. for a visualization. The information about the group addresses is either read from a file, where different formats are supported, or can be selected from the current KNX project via drag & drop.

Project Data Exchange

With project data exchange you can export and import project data of the current KNX project in xml format. This approach is useful, if you work closely with the electrical designer and receive the data, for example, from a CAD program. Due to a supplied converter, you can also convert the exported data to other formats, e.g. continue editing with Excel and then import it back into your KNX project and continue using it there.

Reorganize addresses

Shift Addresses helps you to re-structure group addresses and individual addresses in an KNX project.

Check and Improve

The App helps you ensure and improve the formal quality of your KNX projects. This includes the verification and semi-automatic correction of spelling, configurable naming conventions, and the assignment of Datapoint types.

Function Test

The ETS App Function Test supports you in function test / acceptance of a finished KNX project.

The ETS App Function Test helps you to check the functionality / acceptance of a completed KNX project.

It provides an overview of all functions in the project with the possibility to save test results, to add comments and to print them as a report. Use the "mini-visualization" on mobile devices during on-site testing.

AutoBackup

When closing the ETS, this app automatically creates snapshots of your KNX project (as knxproj) into a project-specific folder of your choice. For example, you can allow other users access to the most current version of the project or support synchronization with a cloud service.

ProjectDiff for ETS5

This app helps you track changes in your ETS project. Compare the current ETS project status with an earlier version of the project (export file or recovery point) and get a detailed listing of all differences for each element.

Recorder

The recorder is delivered as "Plug&Play". Only the recorder configuration has to be adjusted. A Raspberry Pi 3 is used.

Elvis Server DIN-Rail

The fanless top-hat rail PC is perfectly suited for installation in a control cabinet. The server is equipped with 8 GB RAM, 120 GB with two SSDs and a QuadCore CPU with 4 x 1.83 GHz.

Elvis Server Box II

The Elvis Server Box II with 8 GB RAM and 120 GB SATA SSD.

KNX / USB Schnittstelle

KNX / USB Interface for galvanically seperately access on the line of bus over the built-in USB-Socket (type B), for bringing into service and for Addressing, Parametering, Visualisation, Protocolling and Diagnose the bus participants.

KNX-IP Schnittstelle

The KNX-IP interface requires no additional power supply and can address any bus device in the KNX bus system.

Passion for building automation

Elvis 3 is a software system which is used for automation and visualization of plants, buildings and equipment. With Elvis 3 the state of the plant/building can be controlled, managed and monitored. A user interface is used for controlling and visualizing all active states. This interface can be designed individually with the Elvis 3 design tool. Elvis 3 supports 2D und 3D visualizations and offers a great diversity of controls which can be adapted for your individual needs.

Function

Elvis 3 can be controlled via Windows and Web control stations or via iOS or Android devices - various smart phones and tablets - with the AppElvis Viewer. Of course different clients can be connected to one plant.

As a system integrator or visualization professional, Elvis provides the possibility to visualize the tasks of the controlling personnel and to send signals to the plant or receive signals from the plant and react on them.

Elvis is not just flexible in visualizing the state of the plant to the control personnel but also in connecting to diverse systems. A project can be connected to various ports like KNX, M-Bus, modbus, 1-wire, BACnet and more. Additionally multimedia can be connected via DMX512 can be used for light effects and stage techniques with Elvis. Elvis can also be connected with OPC as server or client.

Design

You don’t have to adapt to Elvis – Elvis will adapt to your needs!

The customer determines the design and knows very well about his needs. With Elvis you are in the state where you can fulfill the customer’s wishes in functionality and in design.

Apps

Make your systems cost-efficient and fast to use with our apps Elvis Viewer and Elvis Viewer direct and Elvis Viewer Wear OS.

Xaml Icon Studio

The Xaml Icon Studio offers you the possibility to generate graphical elements such as buttons or icons yourself.


On board are the typical building automation functions, which should not be missed in any professional visualization software for building automation:

• Integration of various systems: OPC, KNX, Modbus, M-Bus…
• Logic modules, event-controlled sequences and time programs
• Phoning between control stations and door stations
• Yield display and monitoring of solar systems
• Transmitting fault and alarm messages
• Load management
• Shading: including automatic calculation of the sun’s position and façade alignment
• Audio and video distribution with decentralized control
• Voice control
• Consumption logging

Recorder

Recorder is a very powerful tool suite for all aspects of KNX telegram recording. With the stand-alone Recording module, KNX telegrams can be recorded and saved unattended, reliably and permanently, tailored to the task. The files created by the recording module or from other sources (e.g. ETS) can be further processed with the recorder in a variety of ways. Recorded telegrams can be evaluated by the recorder user interface and analyzed using powerful filter functions.

Topology Check

The Topology Check tool makes it easy to find KNX devices that have been installed in the wrong line/segment.
