Emergy’nX: General tab of equipment, when creating or editing it in the Equipment section
The General tab of an Emergy’nX equipment item changes with the chosen type: domestic hot water (DHW), pool, heating, air conditioning, pool heat pump, ventilation, lighting, photovoltaic or wind production, EV charger. The tables below give, for each type, the fields to fill in, their units and the additional measurements offered in Monitoring.
Intended for the installer or administrator, in Equipment → Add Equipment → General, or in Edit for existing equipment. For saving and reviewing, follow the create, edit or duplicate equipment guide.
Fill in the common fields
Section titled “Fill in the common fields”- Name: a clear name.
- Phase type: Single Phase or Three Phase, according to the installation.
- Max Power (kW): required and non-negative for DHW, pool, pool heat pump, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, CFA and custom equipment.
- Average operating power (kW): optional; if you fill it in, it must be strictly greater than zero.
Use the values established for the device, without replacing an unknown value with zero to pass validation. Decimal fields accept a point or a comma.
Complete the type-specific fields
Section titled “Complete the type-specific fields”| Displayed equipment type | Specific fields to check |
|---|---|
| DHW (Domestic Hot Water) | DHW Type: Electric, Thermodynamic or Solar; Default Setpoint. |
| Pool | Pool Type: Klereo, PoolCop or Other; Pump Speeds: 1 or 3; Default Setpoint. |
| Heater, Cooler, Pool Heat Pump | PCE, PCH or VRV choice (electric underfloor heating, hydronic underfloor heating, variable refrigerant volume) in the corresponding type field; these abbreviations stay in French in the English interface. Has KNX thermostat? with Yes/No; Default Setpoint. Have the choice that matches your hardware confirmed if you do not know it. |
| Ventilation (VMC) | Speed Number: 1, 2 or 3, depending on the equipment. |
| CFA (Thermodynamic DHW) | Thermodynamic or Solar choice; Default Setpoint. |
| Lighting | Maximum Intensity (A), optional and non-negative. This form presents a maximum intensity, with no maximum power field. |
| Other (Custom) | Custom Icon, required, to select from the list. The choices are displayed in English, for example Appliance, IT / Server or Other. |
| Production (PV) | Photovoltaic or Wind choice, then the production parameters described below. |
| EVCP (EV Charger) | Charger model, intensities, connection and optimization: follow the IRVE guide. |
The Default Setpoint must match the quantity and scale planned for this equipment. If its unit or meaning has not been established, have it confirmed by the person responsible for the installation rather than using an assumed temperature or speed.
Fill in a production installation
Section titled “Fill in a production installation”In General, the production form shows:
- Peak power production (kWc) and Installation Dimension (m2): optional values, non-negative when filled in;
- Power Efficiency (0-1): a fraction between 0 and 1. For example, 20% is written 0.2 (a conversion example, not an efficiency recommendation);
- Adjustment Factor: optional non-negative value;
- Panel Inclination (deg) and Panel Azimuth (deg): angles in degrees, according to the validated data of the installation.
If a parameter does not match your installation or if the azimuth convention is unknown, ask the person responsible for the installation or support for confirmation rather than choosing a value at random.
Map the measurements and commands
Section titled “Map the measurements and commands”After General, open Monitoring, then Enable monitoring if necessary. The forms offer Active Power and Intensity; some families add measurements:
| Family | Additional measurements displayed |
|---|---|
| Pool | Water Temperature |
| Heating, air conditioning, pool heat pump | Outdoor Temperature, Indoor Temperature |
| Ventilation | Hygrometry |
| CFA | Tank Temperature |
Fill in only the measurements available for this equipment. For each measurement used, map its group address and DPT with the KNX procedure, which also explains the commands in the Control tab.
Check the result
Section titled “Check the result”After Save, check the measurements and the expected behavior on the dashboard: that is where the hardware is confirmed to work.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- An expected field does not appear: the available characteristics and measurements depend on the chosen family. Check the Equipment Type at the top of General before looking for a field.
- A required field stays in error: check in particular the maximum power on loads (Power max is required), the icon for Other (Custom) (Icon is required) and the fields specific to chargers. Correct the indicated section, then click Save.
If saving still fails, contact support@can-nx.com with the type, the field and the displayed message.
French labels: tabs Général, Surveillance, Pilotage; power fields Puissance max (kW) and Puissance moyenne de fonctionnement (kW).
