  • Page 6: Introduction

    1.- INTRODUCTION DELTA offers several inverter models that can be managed via the CDP Dynamic power controller. For the CDP controller to be able to correctly manage the inverter, communication between the two devices must be correct and both products must be correctly programmed.
  • Page 7: Connection Of One Inverter

    The cable must be connected to the RS-485 port of the inverter, Figure 1 Figure 1: Description of the inverter terminals. 2.1.1. CONNECTION OF ONE INVERTER shows the connection between the CDP and a single inverter. Figure 2 Figure 2: Connection between a CDP and one inverter. 2.1.2.
  • Page 8: Inverter Communication Configuration

    The bus end terminal must always be connected to the last inverter of the RS- 485 communication bus. The bus end terminal is a resistor that is built in the communications card of the inverter. To activate it, the switch must be configured in the ON position. Figure 4: Bus end terminal.

Parameter Description Inverter type Inverter model. In this case select: DELTA Total power to be controlled by the CDP. Inverter power Number of inverters to control.
  • Page 11: Communications Test And Regulation

    4.- COMMUNICATIONS TEST AND REGULATION 4.1.- COMMUNICATIONS TEST Check the communication between the inverter and the CDP, through the COM1 LED of the CDP:  A flashing (or steady) LED means communication has been correctly established. The flashing rate is one flash per second (if there is one inverter) and 1/n if there are several inverters (where "n"...
  • Page 12: Regulation Test

    4.2.- REGULATION TEST The following test can be performed to ensure the CDP is correctly performing the regulation: We assume a 3000W inverter generating 1400W. Now we program the CDP indicating that the inverter power is 6000W. The CDP will send the inverter a new setpoint so it can change its MPPT and the inverter will reduce photovoltaic generation by 50%, generating 700W.
