This tutorial shows how to create a simple web visualization can be created. To use this tutorial, please do the following steps in advance:

• Install the NETx BMS Platform, which includes BMS Core Server and Visualization Editor.
• Prepare a KNX project and export the ETS project using our NETx BMS app. The data points of this project shall be used within this tutorial. 

After having installed the NETx BMS Core Server, a new project called workspace has to be created. A workspace contains the whole configuration of a BMS server project. To do so, start the NETx BMS Studio and select the entry "New ..." within the "Workspace" menu.

Give the workspace a name (e.g. "Tutorial"). Afterwards, a new workspace is created and the NETx BMS Core Server is restarted.

Import the KNX configuration data from the ETS

One advantage of KNX is that each KNX project is engineered using the engineering tool software called ETS -- independent which devices and which vendors are used within the KNX project. Therefore, the ETS holds the whole configuration data and is thus an important knowledge base for the NETx BMS Core Server. To ease the data exchange between the ETS and the NETx BMS Server, an ETS app called NETx BMS App is available. Using this app, the whole KNX configuration can be exported from the ETS and imported within the NETx BMS Server.

Import the export file (.nxe) of your KNX installation into the NETx BMS Server using the entry "Import NETx ETS app file ..." within the menu "KNX" of the NETx BMS Core Server.

Select "Replace current definitions" and step through the wizard. After having finished the import, stop the NETx BMS Core Server and start it again. Verify whether the KNX connection is working and whether you can control your KNX data points within the Item Tree of the NETx BMS Core Server.

Creating a visualization project using the Visualization Editor

The Visualization Editor is a independent software to create and edit Visualizations. To create a new visualization project, start the Visualization Editor .Afterwards, the Visualization Editor starts. Then Connection Properties window will show up.

Then User login with Username and Password. Default Username and Password are (admin, changeme). Then, the new project is opened and an empty visualization page is shown.
