ETS6

The management of ETS6 projects is based on the ETS6 collaboration mode, which you must activate in the ETS under “Settings/Data Storage/Collaboration mode”. The path set in the ETS for the project archive does not need to be adjusted and can be retained locally if PM is used consistently.

Inventory data import:
There is no direct import. ETS6 projects are linked to a PM project. To link a project, the ETS project must have been saved once in the ETS archive. After you have selected "Project/Create/ETS6" in the PM and assigned a name, you can select the relevant ETS project via the dialogue. This process can be repeated at any time via the PM project settings. It is also possible to attach several ETS projects to a PM project. In the background, the ETS project is moved from the ETS archive folder to the PM project folder and linked by a special function so that the project is offered in the ETS archive.

Check in/Check out:

To be able to check a PM project into the memory, the ETS project must first be checked into the ETS archive and unlocked. If this is not the case, you will receive a corresponding message.

If the PM check-in process was successful, the project has been removed from the ETS archive. The ETS project only becomes visible again in the ETS archive and can be processed further once it has been checked out in the PM.

Edit:

Double-click to automatically start ETS6 if it has not yet been opened.

Combined project types:
It is also possible to link to KNX-typical project types such as HS, GPA, Basalte, Loxone etc. with ETS projects and make them available in one. You create the link in the respective project setting under "ETS project/Attach".

Tip - If you often work with several technicians on a project at the same time, e.g. Technician#1 = ETS and Technician#2 = HS, then it is advisable to dispense with the combined project types and create a project for each project type.
