Create, edit or duplicate equipment in Emergy’nX

In Emergy’nX, each monitored or controlled device (domestic hot water, heating, pool, EV charger, photovoltaic production…) is an equipment item in the Equipment section. There you create its configuration, edit it or start from similar equipment to duplicate it, then save and review the parameters.

Intended for the administrator or installer in charge of configuring the project. To view or control equipment day to day, use the dashboard; to remove a configuration, follow the deletion procedure.

Before you start

• Prepare the equipment’s characteristics and the parameters validated for your installation. A prefilled value is not a recommended setting.
• Work in the real project: the demo does not give access to the configuration menus. If the menu is missing, check the project with the access guide.

Create equipment

1. Open Equipment in the navigation. On a small screen, first open the menu with the three-line icon.
2. Click Add Equipment.
3. In the General tab, choose the Equipment Type, then fill in the Name, for example “Office heating” (a fictitious example).
4. Complete the characteristics specific to the type, described in the characteristics by equipment type or, for a charger, in the IRVE charger configuration. When the Max Power (kW) field is present, enter the power in kW, not in W: a known power of 2,400 W is written 2.4 kW.
5. Open Monitoring to configure the measurements and Control for the commands, only according to the links planned for this equipment. These two sections can remain without an address; enabling them is described in the KNX links. For some chargers, they are managed by the integration.
6. Click Save, in the bar at the bottom of the form. If errors appear, correct the fields in the indicated section, then try again.
7. Wait for the Configuration saved successfully message and the return to the list.

Switching between tabs keeps what you entered in the form, but only Save stores it.

Edit existing equipment

1. In Equipment, locate the right name and click its Edit pencil.
2. Change the fields you want.
3. Click Save and wait for the confirmation.

The Equipment Type is locked after creation.

Duplicate similar equipment

1. In Equipment, click the two-sheet Duplicate icon of the equipment to copy. A new form takes over its parameters and adds (copy) to the name.
2. Rename the copy.
3. Check all the parameters specific to the new device, in particular its KNX addresses or its IP address.
4. Click Save. The new configuration is created at that moment: clicking Duplicate only prepares the form.

Change the type or leave the form

In a creation or duplication form, changing the type after entering data may display Change equipment type?:

• Cancel keeps the current type;
• Change type keeps the name but resets the specific parameters: fill in the fields again before saving.

The Back arrow button returns to the list. Save the entries you want to keep first: a warning does not always appear before you leave.

Check the result

• Find the name in the Equipment list. After a duplication, check that both rows are present.
• Open the equipment with its Edit pencil and review the saved parameters.
• Then check on the dashboard that the measurements and commands give the expected result on the hardware.

Troubleshooting

Message or symptom	Action
Form is invalid or Sections to fix	Open the indicated section; the one containing the first error may open automatically. Check the name, the required numeric fields, the addresses entered and the specifics of the type.
Configuration save error	Treat the save as unconfirmed and keep the values to enter. Check the list and reopen the configuration before recreating the equipment, to avoid a duplicate if the result is uncertain.
No Equipment Selected	Go back with Back, then reopen the equipment from the list.

If the menu is still missing, the error persists or the parameters are saved but produce no result on the hardware, contact support@can-nx.com with the project, the equipment name and type, the displayed message and the steps already tried. Never send a password or a confidential access link.
