AXS Port
Interfaz Modbus/TCP
Monitorea, comanda y
controla en modo remoto los
componentes seleccionados del
sistema OutBack sin necesidad
de contar con una pantalla de
sistema dedicada*
Dispositivo compatible
con SunSpec para lograr
interoperabilidad y una
operación de tipo Plug-and-Play
Administra más de dos años de
registros de datos
Firmaware actualizable a través
de una red de Ethernet
Entre los accesorios se incluyen
la tarjeta de memoria MicroSD y
el clip de montaje de rielDIN
* La versión inicial de firmware admite el control y
monitoreo de los controladores de carga FLEXmax de
OutBack y el monitoreo de los inversores FX. La función
de alarma es una implementación que se realizará en el
futuro en este dispositivo fácilmente actualizable.
El interfase AXS Port Modbus/TCP compatible con SunSpec es ideal
para clientes industriales y comerciales, proporciona conectividad
de avanzada con controladores de carga OutBack FLEXmax™
además de otros dispositivos OutBack y permite el comando,
control y monitoreo remoto del estado del sistema. Mediante el
interfase AXS Port los usuarios pueden obtener acceso de manera
segura al sistema de suministro de energía OutBack desde cualquier
lugar del mundo a través de una conexión Ethernet utilizando el
protocolo de control de transmisión (TCP) Modbus y comunicase
directamente a un solo dispositivo, o a varios, por medio de los
componentes de administración de comunicaciones HUB4 o HUB10
de OutBack.
La AXS Port permite crear interfaces de usuario a medida para
sistemas que utilizan el kit de desarrollo de programa API de
avanzada (se puede descargar del sitio www.outbackpower.com).
Los registros de datos del sistema se pueden descargar mediante
el interfase AXS Port utilizando Modbus-read o transferencia por
FTP. Los operadores del sistema pueden ajustar las configuraciones
del sistema o cambiar los modos de operación, así como aplicar
futuras actualizaciones de firmware en el interfase AXS Port y en
otros componentes actualizables por firmware de OutBack, sea
localmente o a través de Ethernet.
Todos los valores configurables por el usuario están respaldados
en una memoria no volátil, con lo cual se asegura un desempeño
estable del sistema y su recuperación. La función opcional de sensor
remoto de temperatura proporciona una herramienta simple de
bajo costo para capturar e informar los valores de temperatura
ambiente u otros registros de información
térmica crítica.
La unidad AXS Port es un dispositivo compatible con SunSpec
y esto significa que el dispositivo utiliza el lenguaje común del
sector de energías renovables para impulsar estándares de datos
e interoperabilidad sobre operaciones de tipo plug-and-play entre
componentes y sistemas de administración. Se requiere el software
cliente SunSpec para la operación. Para obtener más información,

    Protocol. The SunSpec protocol enables sending and receiving of remote commands, control settings, and status information. At this time, the AXS Port only provides support for OutBack charge controllers. Future firmware revisions will allow support for other OutBack products. NOTE : This product is for use instead of a system display such as the MATE3. OutBack does not support the use of the AXS Port and a system display at the same time.
  • Page 8: Accessories

    Introduction Accessories The AXS Port can use a Type 2 microSD card for logging operational status information about the system. A 2 GB microSD card is included. The SD card is also required for performing firmware updates. The AXS Port can be equipped with a clip for mounting on a DIN rail. This clip is included.

    Operation Installation Instructions Mounting To mount the AXS Port directly on a wall or flat surface: 1. Insert two screws (appropriate for the surface) into the mounting holes at the top and bottom of the device. The holes will accept up to a #6 screw.
  • Page 10: Cabling

    Operation Cabling If a single OutBack product is used, it can connect directly to the AXS Port. If multiple OutBack products are networked on an OutBack HUB, the HUB can connect to the AXS Port. OutBack Network Device Cable Cable...

    Reset Switch Security Protection To enhance security, the AXS Port has been designed to enable a basic form of encryption. To enable it, the user must contact OutBack Power Technologies. A non-disclosure agreement must be signed. Resetting the AXS Port with the reset switch will restore all values to the factory default settings. This includes removing the password and disabling the security features.
  • Page 12: Sunspec Blocks

    The AXS Port uses the SunSpec protocol to assemble blocks of data on each connected product. The SunSpec client software can read or write to each field in a data block on the AXS Port. The fields are used for remote commands, control settings, or status information on the OutBack product.
