06 Sep 2022

This article describes how to find the relevant ETS database file for your gateway.

The ETS database files can be found on the relevant product page under the 'Configuration Tool' tab.

Alternatively, you can download them from the ETS catalogue. All Intesis database files can be found under the Intesis folder.

 

Intesis MAPS-based Gateways (Multi Unit Solutions/Protocol Translators)

No ETS application is provided for Intesis MAPS-based gateways, as configuration is carried out entirely using Intesis MAPS >  Download Intesis MAPS
Communication between ETS and the Intesis gateway is done via group addresses configured in ETS and mapped in Intesis MAPS.

However, if you wish to use the product in ETS for any reason, such as line couplers*, you can load a dummy application into your project via the ETS catalogue.

 Ensure the dummy application supports the required datapoint types and object sizes.

Pay attention to the object size (1 bit, 1 byte, etc.) and select the correct data point (e.g. alarm, switch, temperature or HVAC mode). Use the same physical address that was configured in MAPS and make sure that it is unique within the KNX system.

As this is a dummy, no download to the Intesis product is required.

*Line couplers use group object information from ETS to build filter tables. If no objects are present in the project, telegrams may not be routed correctly
