The communication connection diagrams shows how the integrated ethernet
and wireless board allows the locally or remotely connection to the inverter.
The inverter provide the following integrated communication interfaces:
- Wi-Fi channel (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n@2.4GHz)
The use is recommended to access wiressely to embedded web
server by using any WLAN standard device (PC, tablet. smartphone)
for commissioning and parameter setting. Additionally there is second
radio channel that can be used for connection to wireless router.
- 2x Ethernet ports (10/100BaseTx - RJ45 plugs)
The ports are configured by default for enabling daisy chain connection
of the inverters over the Ethernet bus.
In order to improve the reliability of the communication with the inverters
it is also allowed to create ring shape layout by using this Ethernet bus
- 1x RS485 ports (terminal block)
The port enables daisy chain connection of the inverters over the
serial line (slave mode). The port can either be used for connecting
supported accessories (like weather station, meter...): in this case data
from accessories will be logged and transferred to the cloud by inver-
ter itself (master mode).
By default the 2 Ethernet ports of the inverters are already configured for
enabling communication over daisy chain layout.
Once physically connected the inverters does not need specific set-
tings: after the first turning on, the inverters automatically got all nee-
ded network parameters with or without the presence of DHCP server.
If an internet connection is available on site the inverters are automati-
cally configured to transmit telemetry data to Aurora Vision Cloud without
the need of installing any additional devices (logging capability are alrea-
dy integrated into the inverter by default).
With the inverters connected over Ethernet daisy chain and with an
available internet connection it will be always possible, via Aurora Vision
Cloud, to upgrade remotely the firmware of the inverters.
