USER GUIDE – WebdynSunPM Notes about this manual This guide describes how to perform a complete installation of the WebdynSunPM concentrator and how to operate the concentrator remotely. Scope This technical description is valid for firmware version 1.0. This manual will be updated as required following functionality changes to the product.
Please observe all safety instructions in the device notices. The WebdynSunPM product can be damaged by electrostatic discharges (ESD). Avoid contact with component connections and connector contacts. This device is not suitable for use in places where children might be present.
Presentation Operating principles 4.1.1 The WebdynSunPM concentrator is designed to monitor all types of installations (photovoltaic or otherwise). To do this, the concentrator uses tools and protocols that enable the installation, operation and maintenance of equipment. The information collected (data, alarms, etc.) is analyzed and formatted before being sent to one or two servers using guaranteed security (confidentiality, loss, etc.).

USER GUIDE – WebdynSunPM Quick Start The purpose of this chapter is to describe how to quickly get started with the WebdynSunPM product. The product must therefore be set to its default factory configuration and switched off. Starting up the product The WebdynSunPM concentrator power supply accepts power from 12 to 24V.
Serial port settings 5.3.1 The WebdynSunPM concentrator has three RS485/422 serial ports. Different communication protocols can be associated with each of these ports. All devices on the same port must therefore use the same protocol, as well as the same parameters (speed, data bits, stop bits and parity).
Network settings 5.3.2 The WebdynSunPM concentrator has two Ethernet ports and can therefore be integrated with two different networks. You can configure these networks via the "Settings" menu, and then the "Networks" submenu. If you don’t need to configure any IP devices and the connection to the information system (IS) is through a modem, skip this step.
USER GUIDE – WebdynSunPM Configure the network settings listed below to integrate your WebdynSunPM concentrator into your facility's networks: o IP address o Subnet mask o Gateway (optional) o DNS server 1 (optional) o DNS server 2 (optional) Notes: If an Ethernet interface must access another network (for example: the IS accessible only via the internet), you must configure the gateway address (router) to exit the network, and thus access the internet.
If it’s lower, the signal will not be strong enough to guarantee communication. Server configuration 5.3.4 The WebdynSunPM concentrator supports configuration of one or two servers for data and alarm storage, as well as the management of configuration and commands. From the "Settings" menu, select "Servers".

Set the server connection schedule. This defines when and how frequently data is collected and stored on your server. o For a daily upload at midnight, activate the schedule and set the parameters as follows: WebdynSunPM – User guide — Version 1.0...
Start by selecting the time zone. This is used to trigger schedules, as well as to timestamp data and alarms. You can set the time of the WebdynSunPM concentrator either manually or via an NTP server. To set the date and time manually, enter a date in the "Date (DD/MM/YYYY)" field using the "DD/MM/YYYY"...
Click on the "Force sync" button to trigger synchronization immediately. If the time synchronization is successful, close the pop-up window, and validate your changes. Configuring devices You can configure devices through the "Devices" menu. Start by clicking on the "Devices" menu. WebdynSunPM – User guide — Version 1.0...

Interfaces Power supply The WebdynSunPM concentrator can be powered using 12 or 24V DC. The power supply is the two- point plug-in terminal block located at the top left of the box. Ensure you observe the wiring directions of the power supply.
In discrete mode, the concentrator can detect openings and closures of dry contacts to monitor the status of devices or to trigger alarms on status changes. In pulse mode, the WebdynSunPM concentrator manages the Class A (24 V) and B (5 V) pulse outputs of the meters according to IEC 62053-31:1998.
Analog inputs 6.2.2 The WebdynSunPM concentrator has four analog inputs for a current ranging from 4 to 20 mA or a voltage ranging from 0 to 10 V. You can choose between these two modes (4-20 mA or 0-10 V) via the software.
Three-wire cabling Do not operate a voltage higher than 12V, and a current higher than 24mA on these inputs. Relay output 6.2.3 The WebdynsunPM concentrator has a potential-free relay output. Relay characteristics: Maximum voltage: 24 V Maximum current: 1 A...
USER GUIDE – WebdynSunPM Serial interfaces The WebdynSunPM concentrator has three RS485/422 serial ports. A communication protocol can be associated with each of these ports. All devices on the same serial port must use the same protocol and the same bus parameters (speed, data bits, stop bits, parity).
Page 24
In the latter (two wires), the same line is used for transmission and reception. It is therefore necessary to loop back on the WebdynSunPM transmission and reception hub. We recommend the use of shielded twisted pairs (general shielding) with a minimum cross-section of 0.20 mm², and an impedance of 120 ohms.
Page 25
This end-of-line resistance must be of the same value as the line impedance; i.e., 120 Ω. If the WebdynSunPM concentrator is at the end of the line, activate the product's internal termination resistance, represented by the symbol.
Network interfaces Ethernet 6.4.1 The WebdynSunPM concentrator has two Ethernet ports (LAN 1 and LAN 2) which are independent of each other. The WebdynSunPM concentrator can therefore connect to two separate Ethernet networks to communicate with local IP devices on the two different networks and/or to communicate with the IS.
USER GUIDE – WebdynSunPM Modem 6.4.2 The WebdynSunPM concentrator has a modem which is compatible with 2G et 3G networks. 2G: EDGE, GSM, GPRS (B1 and B8) 3G: HSPA (B1 and B8) The concentrator is compatible with all commercial operators and all SIM cards in mini SIM format (2FF).
Micro SD 6.5.1 A micro SD slot is available on the front of the product. Compatible SD cards must be in micro SD format. The micro SD slot is reserved for future use. WebdynSunPM – User guide — Version 1.0...

USER GUIDE – WebdynSunPM Definition files (DEF) Currently, only Modbus devices are managed by the WebdynSunPM concentrator. The files defining these devices are contained in the "MODBUS/" subdirectory of the definition directory (by default, "DEF/"). These files describe the variables of the Modbus slaves connected to the concentrator, and the method (requests) for retrieving them.
