3 General information about the device proservx is a plugin for the DS114 Synology diskstation. The diskstation is a Network Access Server (NAS) that is delivered completely installed with the proservx plugin. The DS114 has a 512 MB DDR3 RAM and it is delivered with a 256 GB flash drive (no moving parts in the data memory). proservx is based on OpenHAB open source software. A binding allows the use of all the proserv configuration data that was entered and transmitted via the proserv product data base. Thus, proservx is configured autonomously using the visualisation configuration established once in ETS. Extra configuration tools are not necessary at all. proservx is compatible with all proserv controllers delivered to date. It is therefore easy to update earlier versions with later equipment. For new projects, we recommend you use the proserv V2 data base. Compared to the previous version, this allows you among other things to call the visualisation pages directly using a button in the iknix apps. So it is possible to switch directly to the pages where you may enter the switch times or display logged values as curves. Functions proservx principal functions: Recording data from any KNX data point and format. For temperature controller, series of data representing set point values, actual values and the exterior temperature are recorded and shown together. Using the proserv control functions, the series of set points and actual values are also processed in this way. The series of values are shown in diagrams with different time scales (by hour, day, week, month and year). Exporting data: exporting values as a csv file for processing at a later date in programmes designed for calculating tables or in data bases. Calendar functions for KNX data points. Scheduling is possible for binary data or room controller modes (as byte value or bit value). Venetian blinds may be controlled, byte scenes can be launched. It is easy to simulate a presence during absence. An alarm can be launched by an event on the KNX bus. The VPN server for secure access to the installation via Internet. 3

4 Installation The configured NAS Synology disk drive is connected solely to the network and to the power supply. The Synology download centre is found at this address: Assigning an IP address xxx The device is delivered in DHCP mode and requires a fixed IP address within the network. The «Synology assistant» is simple programme to assign a fixed IP address to the unit. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. Once Administration has been selected, the system finds the Synology device on the user s network. When the user double-clicks on the device, he is invited to start a session. The user name is admin and the password is also admin. Now double click the Control Panel icon : In the next window select Network and the Network Interface thumbnail. After selecting the LAN port, the device s IP address can be assigned using Edit. 4

5 Calling proservx pages The proservx pages displaying the data logger (logview) or the settings on the calendar (scheduler) are accessible using a web browser. The browser addresses are as follows: Calling up the home page: Example: Calling up diagrams (logview): Example: Calling up calendar programmes (Scheduler): Example: <IP Synology address>:8081/proserv <IP Synology address>:8081/greent <IP Synology address>:8081/proserv/scheduler.html These addresses may be entered directly as an AUX function of the URL diagram within the proserv product data base. This enables the corresponding page to be called up using a button within iknix. Settings in proservx In the settings of the proservx plugin you have to define at least proserv s IP address. To do this, call up the Diagrams page. (see Calling prosservx pages ). At the top of the page, on the right, you will find the Settings button. The dialogue box allows the following operations: 5

6 1. Permanent setting of the client s Graphic User Interface (GUI). Auto detect Phone Tablet PC 2. Language of the system texts displayed: English German French 3. Reset history data This selection allows you to reset the data recorded until now. It must be selected if a fundamental modification has been made to the proserv settings, such as the addition or removal of a #1 in the parameters. 4. Save history data Through this selection, the data are saved as a rrd binary file or as an ASCII csv file. 5. Send history data by The csv file created as described in point 4) is sent to the configured address. 6. Configuration of address. The personal address to which an alarm or the saved history data will be sent may be entered here. 7. Set IP and get KNX configuration The proserv IP address is defined here. By confirming the address, the proserv configuration is read by the proservx PlugIn; this is necessary after downloading the proserv s ETS product database. 6

7 Configuring the Scheduler The Scheduler allow repeated and automated call-ups of the proserv functions. To use a proserv function via the intermediary of a scheduler, just add #t in the description of the proserv function. This control character is not displayed in the visualisation. The Scheduler is available available for the following proserv functions: - Switching - Dimming - RGB seperated (combined with switching or adjusting the lighting intensity) - RGB combined switching - RGB combined dimming - AUX switch (independently of the type of switch control selected) - AUX 1 byte unsigned value (the byte value defined is sent when launched). Using several functions presence simulation can be realised. Use 1byte scenes in the actors. - All shutter functions - Changing room controller modes: o Using bit - mode (switching between comfort and eco ) o Using byte - mode (switching between comfort and night ) Remark: This is only possible if comfort or night mode has been previously selected. So if the device is in standby or freeze protection mode, the comfort/night scheduler is de-activated. All scheduler times may be configured on the proservx page proserv Scheduler (see Calling proservx pages ); each function can also be activated/de-activated. Once the ETS configuration have been transferred into the proserv with the modifications made using #t, the proserv configuration must be re-read by proservx. This process is carried out as described under the heading Settings in proservx in point 7). 7

8 Configuring data logging (diagrams) proservx allows data logging of any KNX data point on the Synology disk drive SSD hard disc. To activate data logging for a proserv datapoint, just add #l to the description of the proserv function. The control characters are not displayed in the visualisation. Data logging is supported using the proserv functions State, Control and Roomcontroller. When a weather station is activated, the meteorological data are also recorded (without entering control characters). - When datalogging of Control functions is activated, the series of values for real and set point values are reproduced together. - When datalogging of Roomcontroller is activated, the series of values for real and set point values and the exterior temperature are reproduced together.. All diagrams can be displayed using the proservx logview page. (see Calling proservx pages) Once the ETS configuration have been transferred into the proserv with the modifications made using #l, the proserv configuration must be re-read by proservx. This process is carried out as described under the heading Settings in proservx in point 7). Currently, it is also necessary to reset the recorded data. This takes place as described under the heading Settings in proservx in point N 3). We advise you to export the data as described in point N 4 prior to this, because the data will be lost during resetting. Configuring the alarm To launch an alarm, you must use the State 1bit switch value function of proserv. Just add #m to the description of the function. The control character are not displayed in the visualisation. The polarity indicated (message for 1 or message for 0) in the product data base is taken into account. An is sent once when the status matches the polarity of the message. The condition for another to be sent is a change of the status of the group address. Control character Control characters may be linked together (for example #1#m ). 8
