Export the Group Addresse from the ETS (ESF File)
If you want to transfer the group addresses from your ETS project onto your EIBPORT, you must export it via the OPC Export of the ETS Software. By this all-group addresses which are related to the project are exported.
Export from the ETS5
To export the group addresses from the ETS5, proceed as follows:
ETS 5 - ESF export
Open the relevant project.
Open the menu "Extras" > "Export OPC" and select the desired storage location.
Export from the ETS 4
To initiate the *.esf export from the ETS 4, the desired project has to be opened first. The menu "Extras" > "Export OPC" in the project overview can then be used to store a *.esf file at any location.
ETS 4 - ESF export
The ESF file can be uploaded to the EIBPORT in the editor via "Upload ESF & data management". The entry can still be modified there, if required.
Export from the ETS 3
To export the group addresses from the ETS3, proceed as follows:
Select File -> Data exchange (e. g. OPC) in the menu. The dialog "Export foreign format" appears. Select the second option Export ... under "Export to OPC server" and specify a storage location. The result of the export is an *.esf file.

Address structure SINCE ETS 4
Limited compatibility since ETS4! From ETS4, please use only the two-level or three-level group address structure commonly used in the ETS2/3. Use with the extended group address range or the free group address structure is not possible.
