Unit

seconds

Default value

30

Parameter


KNX.CyclicEventTelegramGap

Description

It specifies the time gap between cyclic events (in milliseconds). This value is used by event engine of the server.

Scope

Unit

milliseconds

Default value

250

Parameter


KNX.SetLinkOnReceive

Description

The "link manager" the subsystem of the Server provides the opportunity to handle linked KNX group addresses that are defined within the ETS. This parameter activates the handling of these linked group addresses.

  • ON - sets the linked KNX group addresses when corresponding KNX group telegram is received by the server

  • OFF - not activated

Scope

Default value

ON, OFF

Unit

None

none

OFF

Parameter


KNX.SetLinkOnSend

Description

The "link manager" the subsystem of the BMS Server makes possible the managing of linked KNX group addresses. This parameter specifies whether the mechanism is to be released by sending KNX telegrams.

  • ON - sets the linked KNX group addresses when sending KNX telegrams

  • OFF - not activated

ScopeDefault value

ON, OFF

Unit

None

none

Parameter


KNX.ShowUndefinedTelegrams

Description

If this parameter is set, received KNX telegrams that have an unknown KNX group address (i.e. a group address that is not defined within the server) will be shown in the message window of the NETx BMS Core Studio.

  • ON - shows undefined KNX telegrams

  • OFF - not activated

Parameter

KNX.RefreshAllValuesOnConnect

Description


KNX.ResetOnDisconnect

If set to ON, the quality of KNX datapoints will be set to UNCERTAIN if the corresponding KNXnet/IP gateway is offline. If this parameter is set to OFF, the KNX datapoints will remain GOOD even if the gateway is offline.

ON, OFF

none

OFF

KNX.GatewayBufferSize

Size of the outgoing gateway buffer (in number of telegrams). If the buffer is full the oldest up to 10.000 telegrams are removed and thereby lost.

available since 4.1.1004

KNX.RefreshAllValuesOnConnect

If a KNXnet/IP router is reconnecting to the server, the server can poll the current value of all datapoints that are assigned to this router.

  • ON - the KNX datapoints are polled after a reconnect

  • OFF - not activated

ScopeDefault value

ON, OFF

Unit

None

none

OFF

Parameter

deprecated since 4.0.1000

KNX.CyclicRefreshAllValues

Description

It is possible that the system automatically updates the internal data base in defined time intervals. The updates are done by sending cyclic KNX "READ" telegrams.

  • ON - automatic updating is activated

  • OFF - not activated

Scope

ON, OFF

Unit

None

Default value

OFF

 

...

Parameter
Warning

Note that activating cyclic refreshing of KNX datapoints may cause high amount of network traffic that may stress the connected KNX lines.

KNX.CyclicRefreshAllValuesInterval

Description

It specifies the time interval that is used for the cyclic refresh mechanism. Note that all defined KNX datapoints are queried during a refresh. Therefore, this interval has to be chosen depending on the amount of KNX datapoints within the project. If the value is too small, the previous refresh process may not be finish and thus it will overlap with the next.

Scope

5 - 86400

Unit

seconds

Default value

10

...

Info

Example: 10 datapoints for gateway 192.168.1.1 are defined. The global system send interval is set to 1 second ("send interval" can only be set in the NETx BMS Core Studio). In this case, an update process takes 10 seconds. If the "KNX.CyclicRefreshAllValuesInterval" parameter is set to 5 seconds, the next update process already starts after 5 seconds and tries to send read telegrams. Since the telegrams of the first refresh process are still under transmission, the request of the second process cannot be sent and so these requests will remain in the queue of the server. To solve this issue, the "KNX.CyclicRefreshAllValues TelegramGap" parameter has to be set accordingly.
