TiBMNE500 is the BMNE500 device configuration software (zone control unit). Its main functions
are:
• create the physical system configuration: actuators, dimmers, and sensors;
• define the logic zones of the system;
• define the zone illumination parameters;
• define the device parameters;
• create lighting scenarios and animations;
• define the scheduling scenarios.
The software may be a standalone application, or part of an application package for the configuration
of the whole system.
3. The software
When the software is started (by default Programmi/Bticino/TiBMNE500), the following window
opens, showing:
• at the top, the pushbutton and drop down menus for the selection of the functions.
• in the central section, the list of BMNE500s;
• at the bottom, other pushbuttons used to add and remove devices.

TiBMNE500
3.2 BMNE500 list
Each line of this table corresponds to a BMNE500 device installed on the system. The fields contain
the following information:
• Univocal codes: these are the identification codes of the functions of the device within the system. The software checks that all three are individually univocal within the group of system devices.
• Project name: the device name shown on the network.
• IP address: network device IP address
• Open Password: the password used for Ethernet connection to the device. It does not have to be
the same password found in the configuration.
• Mac Address: Machine MAC Address.
• State: it shows, using a coloured LED system, if the device configuration is valid:
–– Red - no configuration found.
–– Yellow - the configuration has been found but is not valid; in this case the configuration cannot
be downloaded. The possible reasons for an invalid configuration are:
- the code is not univocal, i.e. other devices with the same name already exist;
- the Ethernet device configuration is incorrect;
- scheduling of certain zones has not been defined.
- an invalid mixed actuator/dimmer configuration has been performed for one or more zones;
- Authentication login and password error.
In all cases, it will be necessary to open the configuration and correct any mistakes.
–– Green - the configuration can be sent to the device.
3.3 Pushbuttons used to add or remove devices
All the functions that can be performed with TiBMNE500 can be selected by clicking the icons on the
toolbar, or by selecting the appropriate items from the drop down menus.
• The following functions can be performed using the toolbar icons:
6
––
this pushbutton can be used to add a device manually and define some necessary parameters.
––
this pushbutton can be used to add the devices already present in the .mhz file
generated by YouProject.
––
when the PC is connected to the network, this pushbutton can be used to detect the connected devices and add them to the list.
––
this pushbutton can be used to remove the selected devices from the project.
3.4 Adding a new device
To add a new device to the BMNE500 list use the pushbuttons in the bottom section of the

–– enter the univocal codes relating to the functions of the device;
–– enter the device name;
–– select a fixed or a dynamic IP
–– enter the Mac Address.
Enter the device data and
click OK.
The software checks that the univocal codes are also individually univocal; therefore, it is not
possible to enter a value for one of the three functions, if this is already being used for another
device present in the system.
NOTE: If the BMNE500 includes two or more devices with the same univocal code, the corresponding lines
will be highlighted.
• Click Data import to open a browsing window and search for the required .mhz files

User guide
TiBMNE500
4.2.1 Clock
This function is used to set the local Time Zone, to select the Summer time, and if the device is
operating as a “Master” or a “Slave” (Clock mode).
If set as Master, the clock inside the device will be used as time reference for all other Lighitng
Management system devices.
Enable the “Astronomic clock” to set the geographical coordinates of the BMNE500 device. .
4.2.2 Univocal codes
This function gives the possibility to assign to BMNE500 3 univocal addresses for the OPEN-SCS
Gateway, Lighting manager, and Scenario scheduler functions, so that they can always be identified
within the Lighting Management system.
Gateway OPEN_SCS - this is the univocal code of the OPEN-SCS translator function.
Lighting Manager - this is the univocal code of the Lighting Manager function.
Scenario scheduler - this is the univocal code of the Scenario scheduler function.
Univocal codes are present by default. The software checks that all three codes are also individually
univocal; therefore, it is not possible to enter a value for one of the three functions, if this is already
being used for another device present in the system. The univocity check will be performed when
exiting the configuration procedure.
