The KNX components are parameterized with the ETS 3 software of the Konnex organization.

The KNX/EIB2S7 Editor is based on the exported parameterization data of ETS3 and evaluates the group address, data type, name and description. It only remains to select the group addresses that are to be received and to mark those that are to be automatically read at initialization. The import of data from ETS4 is possible using the free “SIEMENS KNX2S7 Export” app (http://onlineshop.knx.org).

Addresses are assigned automatically by the editor. The addresses can be viewed in the Editor or exported for documentation.

The parameterization of the blocks necessary for the SIMATIC is generated by the Editor at the click of a mouse and can then be downloaded to the SIMATIC. The blocks contained in KNX/EIB2S7 handle the communication on the basis of this parameterization.

When data is received, the current values are saved in the data blocks provided for them. The values that have been updated are then marked. Equally, there are blocks available for the selective reading and writing of values.
