KNX IP Simulation

KNX IP simulation in action

HOW TO

 

The zip file contains the current version of the KNX IP simulation plus a simulation setup tool.

 

Initialization:

1. Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.

2. Unpack the zip-file in an arbitrary directory,  but put no blanks in the path (e.g. “C:\KNXIPSimulation“).

3. Start the graphical front end called "SimulationSetup".

4. Click "Edit"->"Settings" and choose the tab
"Project settings". There press "Set Path"
to alter the system path and to include the
necessary environment variables. Please note,
that this step has only to be done once (i.e.
when you start the SimulationSetup tool the
very first time).

5. Quit the SimulationSetup tool.

 

Create new simulations:

1. Start the graphical front end called "SimulationSetup".

2. Click "Edit"->"Settings" and choose the tab "Project settings". There choose a project name and a project folder where you want to save your project.

3. Start setting up your KNX network. Parameters of KNX IP nodes, KNX IP routers, KNXnet IP devices can be individually changed.

4. To start the simulation press the "Simulate" button.

5. To watch the simulation output press the "Analyze" button.

 

Re-run already prepared simulations:

1. Click "File"-->"Import Project" and load a saved project.

2. You can add or remove items or change parameters.

3. To start the simulation press the "Simulate" button.

4. To watch the simulation output press the "Analyze" button.
