When working on the PV generator, it is also necessary to switch off the DC voltage with the external DC isolator switch (e.g. at the string combiner or the KACO DC switchbox) in addition to disconnecting the PV generator from the grid.
The device features two switched Ethernet ports to enable the user to, for example, connect several devices in series if the user prefers a linear topology. KACO blueplanet 87.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 92.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 110 TL3 KACO blueplanet 125 TL3 Page 9...
Digital inputs You can extend the unit with additional digital inputs by means of an extension module (available from KACO customer service). This can be used to connect a ripple control receiver or a protective shutdown system.

This configuration is shown as an example in segments 1 and M. As can be seen in the figure, a string combiner is assigned to each KACO device. In terms of communication, these are coupled in directly to the device via an RS485 cable (green cable). MODBUS RTU is used as the communication protocol for this purpose.

Fig. 51: Start-up via Segment Controller Scope of application The network infrastructure already exists. All of the KACO devices in the segment can be reached via Ethernet using a Seg- ment Controller. NOTE: When multiple Segment Controllers are present, keep in mind that the Segment Controllers are not connected to one another via the network during start-up.

Scope of application The network infrastructure is available in full. All of the KACO devices in the segments can be reached via Ethernet using the Segment Controller assigned to them. All Segment Controllers are monitored by a central Plant Controller.
If the other device already had protection and the password for the new configura- tion is different, then the new configuration will be rejected.

Some grid connection rules insist that the agreed reactive power be started up from every operating point of the plant without a reduction in the current active power. Considering the fact that the blueplanet 87.0 TL3 to 150 TL3 has a semi- circular P-Q operating range, a reduction in the active power is required during operation at maximum active power be- cause an apparent power reserve is not available.
If a reduction in power occurs, the power is brought back up to the pre-fault level within 100ms of the voltage recovery. KACO blueplanet 87.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 92.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 110 TL3 KACO blueplanet 125 TL3 Page 71...
