Background information
ETS allows a device to be unloaded only when the programming button on the device is pressed. This prevents the unloading of an Individual Address when the device is no longer physically accessible (e.g. after mounting in a suspended ceiling).
Purpose
With this app it is possible to have additional unload functions for devices. In the special case of Training Centers, multiple device unloading after completion of a course is a desired use case so that the installation can be restored to the initial condition quickly.
Activation
Follow these instructions in order to activate the app:
- Purchase a license from MyKNX (available only if a MyKNX account of a Training Centre is used)
- Download and install the app as explained here
- License it as explained here
Use of the Training Center Tool app in ETS
- Invoke the app as it is explained here.
- The project topology is displayed in the app panel in an similar way as in the Topology panel. The following commands are offered in the context menu (right mouse click) or in the menu bar:
- Download
- All
- Partial
- Individual Address
- Application Program
- Unload
- Application Program
- Application Program & Individual Address
- Download
In contrast to the topology panel, the unload function is also offered and can also be executed when the active selection includes not only a single device, but also multiple devices (e.g. entire areas or lines)
This KNX ETS App can be called only once in ETS.
