Powerful server for automation in smarthome, smartoffice, commercial and industrial applications. Administration with web APP. Easy linking of inputs and outputs as well as all data points, easily configurable logic, powerful visualisation, data logging with graphical evaluation and worldwide secure access enable powerful automation of smart buildings. Additionally, the server can be extended with own software.
There are no specific requirements for using the Timberwolf Server, nor do you need any special previous knowledge. The server comes completely pre-installed and is set up with a multilingual graphical user interface. The web APP runs in any modern browser on almost any end device (we recommend at least 10 inch diagonal). A KNX bus does NOT have to be connected or used! All supported protocols can be used independently in any combination with all other features (conversion, logic, data logging, visualisation). The ETS would only be necessary when using the KNX connection - and only for this. You can also use the Timberwolf Server only with Modbus to record the data of your inverter, to control your charging station or your Shellys, to measure hundreds of temperature points - or even for everything at once - without having to connect the server to KNX.

The Timberwolf server currently supports 11 bus systems / protocols natively.
For each technology, specific function modules are available for set-up and administration, including bus or data monitors. The full address range is supported in each case, parallel universes are possible for many protocols and overall there are no artificial restrictions with regard to the number of supported data points or links.
This support for bus systems / protocols is designed generically, i.e. you can easily adapt the Timberwolf Server - supported by graphic assistants - to your devices and systems.
The KNX stack has been certified by an accredited laboratory of the KNX Association. It is one of the most powerful KNX stacks on the world market with 32 / 64 bit, supports 8,000 universal objects with up to 65,536 group addresses.
To configure the Timberwolf Server you need ETS 5 or newer. 2,000 KNX objects can currently be programmed with ETS 5. We are working with KNX Association to extend the capabilities of ETS to all possible 8,000 KNX objects with 65,536 associated group addresses.
This Timberwolf server contains a KNX-TP interface based on the certified KNX chip "TP-UART 2+" from Infineon. Further KNX bus couplers for additional logging of further lines can be connected to the server.
Further information & links
Advantage for you
The Timberwolf Server comes with one of the most powerful KNX stacks on the market. The design of the objects as universal objects gives you maximum flexibility. You can connect these KNX objects to any data point in the Timberwolf Server, regardless of technology / protocol.
This Timberwolf Server represents a KNX IP interface with 25 simultaneous tunnel connections.
Area of application
Further information & links
Advantage for you
With the Timberwolf server you can save the purchase of an IP interface. 25 simultaneous tunnels are sufficient for any application. A default tunnel is available for commissioning, so that you can start with the ETS after connecting.
Depending on the available memory capacity, between 100 million and 100 billion KNX telegrams are recorded in a ring buffer.
In addition to displaying in real time, the included KNX bus monitor can also filter from the log as desired according to date, time, group addresses, physical addresses, etc. Several filters can be combined.
Preconfigured calls are available for analysis with Grafana, which can be adapted as desired. Own applications can access this log via SQL.
Further information & links
Advantage for you:This log activates automatically, the ring buffer is managed automatically, you don't have to set anything up.
The Timberwolf server supports three protocol versions:
The built-in RS-485 interface can be used for Modbus RTU. For additional Modbus RTU bus systems, the Dual Modbus Extension is available. Multiple extensions are possible.
No limitation of data points. All binary data formats are supported. Values can be checked against limits and converted with free formulas, as well as converted to other data types.
Further Information & Links
Advantage for you
No limits, three protocols, any instances. Use of predefined device profiles allows integration of a Modbus device in minutes (see the video).
MQTT in the Timberwolf server enables - similar to KNX - event-based symmetrical communication with high transmission performance (via IP networks). This also enables the coupling of thousands of Timberwolf servers with each other, even encrypted.
Any number of MQTT objects can be created within the framework of the system resources and the available bandwidth and linked internally with any other object of other technologies. There are no artificial restrictions.
All common data formats are supported. A data monitor, histograms and error displays support the setup of new MQTT devices and troubleshooting.
Further information & links
Advantage for you
Communicate easily with MQTT devices, connect Timberwolf servers with each other, collect data centrally. MQTT has practically no limits and the Timberwolf server has no artificial limits.
The Timberwolf Server 3500 is equipped with extensive support for 1-Wire.
Advantage for you
All our sensors and actuators are automatically recognised. Simply connect and use. It's cheaper and easier with no other technology.
The Timberwolf Server enables easy integration of devices and servers that provide functions via HTTP/REST API by supporting all common protocol variants and data formats with a wide range of configuration options and extensive diagnostic support.
The number of supported data points or the number of addressable servers and devices is not artificially limited. All common data formats are supported. Values can be linked arbitrarily with objects of other supported technologies.
Further information & links
Advantage for you
HTTP-/REST-API is widely used and can be used to control a large number of devices and systems. The setup via graphical wizards is particularly easy.
With one million satisfied customers, ekey is Europe's No. 1 for fingerprint access solutions. The user should only need his finger to gain access. RFID or numeric codes (ekey Classic only) can also be used. With the Timberwolf server, you can also combine these three methods to gain access.
Features
Advantage for you
The intelligent use of a building starts at the front door. Open your doors with your finger. By connecting ekey with the Timberwolf server, your smart home knows when which person opens which door with which finger (or code or RFID). How would it be if the shutters then went up and your favourite music played when you came home?
Control your smart building via the visualisations and the logic engine of the Timberwolf server and analyse energy consumption and the temperature curve of your heating to save intelligently.
You can connect all inputs and outputs and every data point to the visualisation and record the course of values. For the graphical analysis you use the web app and the "one-click calls" for which you do not need any previous knowledge. If you are an expert, you can also access it from your own applications via SQL.
Timberwolf servers are expandable by the user, allowing other solutions (e.g. OpenHAB, Node Red, io:Broker, etc.) to run as containers on the Timberwolf server.
CometVisu is a real-time visualisation and is available in the Timberwolf Server as an APP.
Features
Advantage for you
The CometVisu is a powerful visualisation that works on any end device with a current browser. This means that even a simple Android tablet can be used to display the visualisation.
Another technical subsystem is the Timberwolf Server's logic engine for logical links, controls and calculations. This can be linked to ALL data points of any supported bus system and protocol, as well as those of the internal modules (e.g. time series).
Features
Further information & links
Advantage for you
Everything can be linked, no limitations. Despite the many powerful functions, the logic engine of the Timberwolf server is easy to use. All settings can be adjusted during operation and are activated immediately. No restarting is necessary. The debug mode allows simulation and recording of all levels for months.
Energy saving, monitoring and troubleshooting require continuous recording of important data of technical equipment, all temperature and environmental values as well as status and switching information of the automation.
You can record every data point of the supported bus systems and protocols with a click of the mouse.
Evaluation with the data monitors of the Web APP, with Grafana, with CometVisu as well as via SQL from your own applications.
Advantage for you
You can easily set up the recording of individual data points in time series. Just click on the corresponding object in the Web APP and add a new time series as a target. The recording starts immediately, no restart is required.
The server uses the Influx database for recording time series and logs:
Application area
The InfluxDB is characterised by a high - loss-free - compression of the data records at high performance, so that billions of data records can be recorded in the server.
Advantage for you
This database is pre-installed and supported by ElabNET updates. The data is also part of the Timberwolf backup. You can use it to record every data point in the Timberwolf server, this requires only a few clicks.
Grafana is an application for analysing data records. This visualisation can be configured with a graphical editor. Several analyses can be combined in dashboards and these can be integrated into other visualisations.
Area of application
Advantage for you
Grafana is pre-installed and is maintained via Timberwolf updates. In the web APP of the Timberwolf server you will find 1-click calls for all time series, KNX group addresses, interface statistics and for logic analysis. You do not need any previous knowledge.
You want more? You can easily extend the Timberwolf server. Docker and the graphical assistant "portainer.io" are pre-installed ex works. Both support you in building and managing your own containers.
We make it even easier for you with "Timberwolf APPs", which are preconfigured applications that can be installed at the touch of a button.
Depending on the model, the Timberwolf Server offers considerably more resources than are needed for your own functions. Therefore, you can extend the server with your own applications. We provide frequently used applications as "Timberwolf APP" so that you can start them easily. The scope is constantly being extended.
Advantage for you
The Timberwolf server can do much more, because you can also use the Timberwolf server for other software. The configuration of the APPs are included in the Timberwolf server backup. This makes a recovery very easy.
With the Timberwolf Server you can access your installation remotely in an encrypted and securely authenticated manner. The options shown below are available for this purpose.
The Timberwolf server is equipped with a hardened OpenVPN server, which allows any number of VPN connections to be accepted simultaneously. This enables remote access to the server and - with suitable settings - also to the local network.
KNX programming with the ETS is also possible in encrypted form via this customer VPN.
Advantage for you
Everything is ready installed. You can download the settings for the VPN clients ready parameterised and use them with any OpenVPN client (available for all operating systems).
In addition, Timberwolf servers are equipped with a reverse proxy. This enables secure access to resources that are actually unprotected (e.g. web pages of local heating controls that do not have authentication / encryption). The reverse proxy acts as a "reverse firewall" between the user's browser and the previously unprotected resources in the network (or local Docker containers) and takes over authentication and encryption.
Advantage for you
The reverse proxy is also installed ex works, making it easy to protect config pages of other devices in the network or containers. The setup is done via the web APP.
The Timberwolf Server supports world coupling for all supported bus systems and protocols (as well as logic, time series, etc.) This means that any data point can be linked to any number of other Timberwolf Servers and their data points.
This coupling is transparent and behaves in the respective server as if the coupled data points were their own local data points. With sufficient bandwidth, practically no delays are noticeable. Setting up such a coupling takes only a few minutes.
Area of application
Further information & links
Advantage for you
Everything is ready installed. Setup is simple and scalable as required.
The Elab ID is an additional login account that CAN be created in the Timberwolf Cloud. The Elab ID and the Cloud are NOT required to operate the Timberwolf Servers.
Area of use
The use of the Elab ID must be enabled in the privacy settings.
Advantage for you
If you wish, you can log in to several Timberwolf servers with the same account and you can use a log-in account independent of the server for the authentication of third-party cloud services (without revealing the connection to your local Timberwolf server).
Setup and administration is designed to be as simple as possible. Virtually all settings (exception: KNX objects via ETS) are administered using the Timberwolf Server web APP.
The web APP works on all end devices with a current browser and installs itself automatically with the first connection. Communication is efficient with http/2 and is encrypted with SSL/TLS.
All changes to the configuration are activated immediately. You do not have to transfer anything or restart anything.
Advantage for you
For administration, you simply use the terminal device you already own. You do not have to worry about an operating system or architecture. You never see a text console and do not need to have any system knowledge. Operation is as simple as that of a modern smartphone.
The Web-APP can be operated in German, English and French. Switching is done via the flag symbol without restarting.
The server can be operated in parallel via simultaneously opened web APPs, each in a different language.
Advantage for you
All languages are pre-installed, you only have to click on your respective language in the web APP.
The modern user interface makes it easy to use. Set-up is done via graphical wizards, superimposed info texts allow you to get started quickly. The help system connects you to the right article in the wiki at the touch of a button.
Advantage for you
You do not have to enter cryptic commands on a console. A graphical user interface is available for all functions, making every step as simple as possible. Warnings and errors are automatically displayed. Many feedbacks and displays give you a clear picture of the status of the server and the communication with the connected devices.
Simple operation also means as automatic as possible. All extensions and our 1-Wire devices are automatically recognised and integrated.
Advantage for you
Plug in and use - it couldn't be simpler.
Firmware updates and upgrades are easy to install: just press the "Update" button, a restart is almost never necessary.
Further information & links
Advantage for you
Always up to date and as simple as possible, just press "Update" and wait a while.
The system software of the Timberwolf server includes a module for backup and data restore. Simply request a backup and the backup will be written to the specified destination. Restoring is also easy, select backup and wait a few minutes.
Advantage for you
Everything is prepared, you don't have to worry about your data and settings, just make a backup after major changes. You can also download the backup from the server and keep it.
You can reset the Timberwolf server to the state it was in when it left the factory, replacing the entire (encrypted) system partition.
Advantage for you
Easy restart of the system. Ideal for training courses when you want to restart or when passing on the server.
Date and time are important values, after all the Timberwolf server records a lot of data and logics with timers are based on this. The server is already synchronised with the correct time at the factory and contains a buffered real-time clock. For optimal accuracy, regular synchronisation is recommended, this is possible in the following ways:
Variants of synchronisation:
Further information & links
Advantage for you
The server tries to synchronise itself automatically via NTP from the first time it is switched on. In addition, it checks its own time with that of your end device every time you connect to your browser. You would recognise deviations immediately. Normally, you don't have to worry about anything; if you want, you can adjust the synchronisation.
The Timberwolf server is designed to be easy to use and already displays notes and help texts in the web APP.
The function modules are connected to the online wiki via a context-sensitive help button, so that you are immediately guided to the right topic.

<h2><span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="color:#555555;">SCOPE OF DELIVERY</span></span></h2> <p>All Timberwolf 3500 series servers are equipped with the same interfaces and have the same processor performance. Differences between the models exist with regard to RAM (in terms of volume) and mass storage (SSD, in terms of volume, technology and endurance).</p> <h2><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#0D47A1;">TWS 3500XL - 8 GB RAM & 256 GB NVMe SSD - Art-No: 934</span></span></h2> <p>The Timberwolf Server 3500XL is the most powerful server in ElabNET's delivery program. The large main memory with 8 GB and the large and fast SSD with 256 GB allow - in addition to today's and future performance features of the firmware - an installation of even extensive own applications as Docker containers.</p> <p>The NVMe SSD connected to the processor module with PCI leads to a fulminant performance boost - due to the 10x higher write and read performance (compared to the eMMC in the other models), whereby database queries and graphical analyses of extensive time series are executed significantly more performantly.</p> <p>In addition, the high-end brand NVMe SSD used offers an endurance (maximum overwrite performance) of one exabyte. That would be enough to overwrite one gigabyte on the SSD per hour - over 122 years.</p> <p>Because of this very good equipment of the 3500XL model, the user practically does not have to consider anything.</p> <p>Our recommendation: Always operate Timberwolf servers with their own 12 / 24V power supply, which is not used to supply other systems (avoid ground loops). Please protect the used interfaces with BlitzART surge arresters and use the USB Backup Stick for data backup.

<h1><span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="color:#555555;">RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES</span></span></h1> <p>We recommend the following accessories for the Timberwolf 3500 Series Servers.</p> <h2><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#0D47A1;">LIGHTNING, OVERVOLTAGE AND OVERCURRENT PROTECTION</span></span></h2> <p>The connections of the Timberwolf server are protected against short-time overvoltage events by e.g. touch and induction according to the CE standards. For comprehensive protection against incorrect connection and miswiring, as well as protection against the consequences of close or direct lightning strikes, we recommend protecting all interfaces with the BlitzART surge arresters, which - depending on the version - are also equipped with further protective mechanisms. These protection modules cost on average about 2% of the system price, but protect 98% of your system, we think this is a good investment.</p> <p><u>We recommend for the protection of your equipment:</u></p> <ul> <li><strong>KNX protection modules:</strong> At each KNX power supply and directly at the server, as well as at the transition of lightning protection zones (e.g. at the transition from the main distribution to the sub-distributions). Depending on the size of the installation, you should install five to ten of these modules to protect the devices and also the wiring in your KNX system.<br /> <a href="https://shop.elabnet.de/en/blitzart/surge-protection_874_2403" target="_blank">Art: 489: Surge arrester BlitzART for KNX-TP as well as KNX auxiliary voltage</a><br /> </li> <li><strong>1-Wire PBM protection module:</strong> Je install one protection module at a time directly in front of the 1-Wire bus connection of the Timberwolf server (or in front of each channel of additional bus masters). For 1-Wire buses longer than 50 meters, we recommend another module in the middle of the installation (e.g. in a sub-distribution), and for even longer bus wiring, one additional module every 50 to 100 m and one module at the end of the bus line. For the 1-Wire connection of the Timberwolf server please use the 1-Wire protection module optimized for PBM<br /> <a href="https://shop.elabnet.de/en/blitzart/surge-protection/surge-arrester-for-1-wire-professional-bus-master-5000-amps-type-2_876_2409" target="_blank">Art: 451: Surge arrester BlitzART for 1-Wire</a><br /> </li> <li><strong>RS-485 protection module:</strong> Install one protection module directly in front of each RS-485 bus connection of the Timberwolf Server (or each used channel of the Modbus Extension). For RS-485 buses longer than 50 meters we recommend another module in the middle of the installation (e.g. in a sub-distribution), for even longer bus wiring about every 50 to 100 m another module plus one module at the end of the bus line or in front of all valuable RS-485 devices.<br /> <a href="https://shop.elabnet.de/en/blitzart/surge-protection/surge-arrester-for-rs-485-rs-422-5000-ampere-type-2_879_2418" target="_blank">Art: 454: Surge arrester BlitzART for RS-485</a><br /> </li> <li><strong>12 / 24 V protection module:</strong> A protection module directly before the power supply connection directly at the Timberwolf server.
