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 It is possible to enhance the device with additional digital inputs by way of an expansion module (available from KACO Customer Service). This can be used to connect a ripple control receiver or a protective shutdown system.

>100m), it may also be necessary to couple segments that are located further away via a glass fiber connection. Within a segment, it is possible to link KACO devices to one another as part of an Ethernet daisy-chain by way of an inte- grated switch, whereby the Segment Controller is connected at the first element in the chain.

Ethernet cable (uncrossed patch cable) Establishing a connection to the KACO device 1 The device must be opened in order to connect the Ethernet cable! For safety reasons, KACO therefore recommends establishing a connection via WiFi. 2 The device's communication circuit board has 3 Ethernet ports that can be used: 1.

Ethernet ports (marked LAN1 and LAN2) should be used. These ports have an internal switch and, in their factory de- fault state, they expect to receive an IP address from a DHCP server.

Fig. 50: 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.

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.
Grid support by a fast feeding of residual current also lim- its the spatial extent of the incident. Page 70 KACO blueplanet 87.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 92.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 110 TL3 KACO blueplanet 125 TL3 KACO blueplanet 137 TL3 KACO blueplanet 150 TL3...
