Introduction
HGT software is a tool for configuring 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 configuration is divided in 2 parts: Connection and Signals. This information is stored in 2 or more text files. Once
the desired configuration is completed, a binary file is generated and sent to the KNX001.
It is not necessary to be connected to the KNX001 in order to configure the integration. Instead this can be done
in the office 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 viewfinder of the Communication Console.
Once the configuration is completed, press the Send File button and the configuration will be downloaded.
After a few seconds KNX001 will restart and will use the new configuration.
The HGT software has a user interface in a number of languages. Select the most suitable language from the Configura-
tion menu – Languages.

Projects
The first 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 configuration files
necessary for the KNX001.
In order to avoid overwriting the configuration of other existing projects, it is highly recommended that a new project
be created for each new installation. If a KNX001 configuration 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 files that contain the project configuration.
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 configura-
tion work.
