Page 13: Administration And Visualisation Area
U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual 1.6 A DMINISTRATION AND ISUALISATION The interface of U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch is split into two areas: “ADMINISTRATION” or “BACKEND”: Configuration area, in which (depending on the users permissions) each • aspect of the web server and visualisation can be modified “VISUALISATION”: Visualisation area, designed for being used by the final user.
Page 14 U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual Hint: On U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch itself only the VISUALISATION is accessible, the ADMINISTRATION cannot be accessed directly on the display of U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch. To save time during configuration, both areas can be displayed simultaneously in different tabs of the browser, which makes it faster to switch between the areas.

Page 17: Navigation Menu
U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual 2.4 N AVIGATION 2.4.1 U SAGE The navigation menu is a typical tree-view-menu. After accessing the ADMINISTRATION area all the main entries are shown; the sub-menus are accessed by extending the corresponding main menu. The navigation in this menu is done entirely with a mouse.
Page 18 U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual When an object is cloned, not only the objects itself is duplicated, but also all of its connections / relations with other objects. This means that the cloned object will be contained in the same rooms, logics, scenarios etc.
Page 19 U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual As mentioned before, some of the entries of the navigation menu permit to create submenus or to insert new objects. This is done using the NEW button in the TOOLBAR: by pressing this button a new object (the object type depends on the selected entry) will be created and selected automatically.
Page 20: Menu Structure
U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual For rooms it’s also possible to create further sub-menus following the same procedure (as in the further course of this manual will be explained); the resulting tree-structure can so also be used in the visualisation.

U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual 5 KNX 5.1 I NTRODUCTION The following chapters will show in detail how U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch has to be configured in order to work in a KNX system. Prerequisite for creating the VISUALISATION on U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch is a KNX project that has been programmed either with ETS3 or ETS4.
Page 40: Ets Import Rules
U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual 5.3 ETS I MPORT ULES Before the KNX project is imported into U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch, you should just think about the usage of the ETS import rules. The administration of the ETS import rules can be found in the ADMINISTRATION of U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch under "TECHNOLOGIES"...
Page 41: Ets Import
U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual The ETS import rules are used by U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch as follows: during the import process, all group addresses within the import file are scanned and for each address a KNX object is created. If at least one of the keywords defined in an ETS import rule is found in the name of a KNX object, U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch checks whether the data length of this object matches the one defined in the ETS import rule ("TYPE").
Page 42 U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual In BASE mode the following options are available: DELETE EXISTING KNX-OBJECTS If this option is enabled, all KNX objects present in the database will be deleted before the ETS-Import. CREATE AUTOMATIC RELATIONS This option enables / disables the automatic recognition of relations between individual group addresses in the ETS-project and the creation of the same relations in the U.motion KNX Server database, for example for updating statuses of individual objects across multiple group addresses (e.g.
Page 43 U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual As soon as the project is imported, U.motion KNX Server Plus Touch checks if the single KNX objects are matching an ETS import rule. If for a KNX object at least one ETS import rule is matching, it will be applied; no additional configuration of these objects will be necessary.
Page 44 U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual The available options are the same as you can define in the ETS import rules: encoding related to the settings inside the ETS project, function and icon (the shown icons depend on the selected encoding and function for the related object): The selection of the icon during this phase can more be seen as the definition of the ”graphical function“...
Page 45 U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual At this stage it is also possible to modify the ETS import rules again.

Page 69: Complex Objects
U.motion KNX Server Plus, Touch Installation Manual OMPLEX BJECTS 8.1 I NTRODUCTION This chapter deals with COMPLEX OBJECTS, which allow grouping different KNX objects in a single object. Different KNX objects, which are necessary for the operation of the same KNX device, can be combined into a single object with a special layout (e.g.
