7.3.4.4 Conguration
 
Introduction
HGT software is a tool for conguring and monitoring operation of KNX001 equipment via a serial cable an RS232 port  
of the PC. It works in any Microsoft Windows® operating system.
KNX001 conguration is divided in 2 parts: Connection and Signals. This information is stored in 2 or more text les. Once 
the desired conguration is completed, a binary le is generated and sent to the KNX001.
It  is  not  necessary  to  be  connected  to  the    KNX001  in  order  to  congure  the  integration.  Instead  this  can  be  done  
in the ofce and later downloaded to the KNX001 in the installation.
Once  KNX001  has  a  power  supply  and  is  connected  with  a  serial  cable  to  the  PC  where  HGT  is  run,  enable  the  
On  Line  check  box.  Information  about  the  equipment  will  appear  in  the  viewnder  of  the  Communication  Console.  
Once  the  conguration  is  completed,  press  the  Send  File  button  and  the  conguration  will  be  downloaded.  
After a few seconds KNX001 will restart and will use the new conguration.
The HGT software has a user interface in a number of languages. Select the most suitable language from the Congura-
tion menu – Languages.
 
Projects
The rst step in making a new installation is to create a new project. A new project consists of a project name, project de-
scription (optional) and the type of Hitachi machines to be used. 
When a new project is created, a new directory is created with the name of the project. It contains the conguration les 
necessary for the KNX001.
In  order  to  avoid  overwriting  the  conguration  of  other  existing  projects,  it  is  highly  recommended  that  a  new  project  
be  created  for  each  new  installation.  If  a  KNX001  conguration  is  lost,  there  is  no  way  of  recovering  it  from  inside  
the KNX001.
The  folder  where  the  projects  are  created  is  FolderApplication\ProjectsHGT,  where  FolderApplication  is  the  folder  in 
which  HGT  is  installed  (by  default  C:\Program  Files\Hitachi\HGT).  Within  the  projects  folder,  a  new  folder  is  created  
for each new project with the les that contain the project conguration.
When HGT is opened the project selection window appears, permitting a project to be selected or created. Two Demo 
projects appear, one for each type of machine. A new project can be created empty, or a new project can be created based 
on an existing one. In this case, the new project will be a copy of the original, which in certain cases may save congura-
tion work.
