Page 11: Software
Availability of the settings and display screen depends on the firmware version. Settings reading To read out the actual parameters of the HYBRID BASIC controller press the OK button. The led will start flashing green and by pressing UP and DOWN you can scroll through the parameters. -
Page 12: Parameter Overview
Parameter overview The following parameters are available. Not all paramters can be changed. Parameters which can not be changed are marked with a * and are read only. Most parameters which can not be changed are for measurements only. Parameter 4 and 9 are used for the power calculations. Parameter 4 holds the secundairy value of the CT and parameter 9 the primairy. -
Page 13: Grid Feed In Protection Modus
Binair output Grid feed in protection modus The HYBRID BASIC controller can also be used to set a specific feed in limit, prevent the inverter from feeding into a (public) grid (zero export) or have a minimum consumption from the grid. -
Page 14: Fuel Saving Mode With Generator
Fuel Saving mode with generator In the “Fuel Saving” mode the controller automatically determines the optimum production point of the solar system to archive maximum savings for the Diesel. Further the controller ensures that the generator will not be running under the minimum load specified by the engine manufacturer. The controller accepts two different setpoints which can be selected with digital input 1 (pin 4). -
Page 15: Graphical User Interface
Graphical User Interface The HYBRID BASIC controller includes a webserver to adjust the system parameters and see the status of the system. By default, the webserver can be reached by typing the IP address 192.168.1.100 in a web browser. Supported web browsers are Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. -
Page 16: Elgris Cloud
With the elgris cloud you can store data on the open source platform eCloud. This enables the user to have a cloud solution where all data can be visualised and transferred on other mediums. The eCloud software can run on the open source server, a self-hosted server or local server like Raspberry PI. -

Page 18: Multiple Generators With Elgris Smart Meter
Ensure that all SMART METERS are powered all the time, otherwise the communication is delayed all the time. To select the elgris SMART METER first select “elgris SM” in the dropdown and fill out the IP address. MODBUS port is 502 by default. -
Page 19: 5.5.1 Grid And Dual Generator Application Example With Optional Storage
5.5.1 Grid and dual generator application example with optional storage In this example the elgris BASIC is used as the master controller. The BASIC communicates with each generator over Ethernet and collects the load of each generator. The BASIC controller automatically determines the optimum setpoint for each generator and sends a setpoint to the PV inverters. -
Page 20: Adjusting The Pid Settings
Adjusting the PID settings The elgris HYBRID controller has a real time PID controller to adjust the amount of PV power within the system. By setting one value to zero, P, PI or PID controllers can be set. For standard applications, the PI controller is a good starting point. -
