Supports the JACE-3E, JACE-6, JACE-6E and JACE-8000 (it does not support the JACE-2)
Supports both ETS4 (Engineering Tools Software) and ETS5 KNX tools
Supports versions 12-14 of the ETS knxproject xml schema
Uses the more data-rich ETS project file as a source of KNX system data for discovery
Supports ETS Two Level, Three Level and Free Level group addressing
Supports the full list of current KNX datapoint types defined in the knx Master Data xml file
Supports manufacturer-specific KNX datapoint types with values exposed as hex strings
Supports enhanced point discovery to improve pre-setting Point Facets, Point Names, Hierarchy and Point types
Supports complex multi-value KNX datapoint types
Consistent modelling (knxnetIp-device = Niagara-device and KNX Group Address = Niagara-point)
Supports knxnetIp tunnelling
Supports proxy routing
Supports enhanced bus-data-received functionality
Provides documentation as a PDF and Workbench help
Makes no reference to the EIB (European Installation Bus)
