Direct Device Configurations (Solar-Log 500)
25�5�4 Setting Power meter on S0 input
If an external S0 power meter is used, it must be activated here.
The S0 meter can be configured flexibly and used in 3 operating modes:
•
as a consumption meter.
•
as the power meter for an inverter
(In inverter mode, the meter has a limited monitor function for inverters whose data protocol is not
supported for direct monitoring.)
•
as total yield meter
In this mode, the yield from several inverters is recorded.
Procedure:
•
Select Inverter SO meter from the menu
•
Select the operating mode: Consumption, Inverter or Total yield
•
The pulse factor must then be set to match the pulse factor of the meter.
•
Press ENTER to save.
•
To complete the setup, perform inverter detection
25�5�5 Power meter via RS485
Meters are connected via RS485 and configured from this menu.
Procedure:
•
Select power meter from the menu Inverter
•
Select the meter manufacturer
•
Press ENTER to save.
•
To complete the setup, perform inverter detection
25�5�6 Perform inverter detection�
Inverter detection can be started here. To be detected, the inverters must be feeding in power.
Procedure:
•
Select detection from the menu Inverter
•
Start the inverter detection by pressing "Start search Yes."
Provided they have been activated, the individual interfaces of the Solar-Log 500 are queried in order:
•
Bluetooth
First, all SMA Bluetooth interfaces are shown in a list. Since more inverters may be detected than
are actually installed (e.g. those in a neighboring house may also be detected), the listed inverters
have to be checked.
•
RS485/422
•
SO Meter
The meter must send at least 1 pulse within 60 seconds.
During detection, the inverters that have been detected are displayed immediately. Detection can take
some time. "Channel lists" are loaded for SMA inverters. This may take several minutes for each inverter,
depending on the particular inverter.
After inverter detection, the total number of inverters detected is displayed.
Inverter detection can be repeated at any time, or canceled completely.
