Page 5: About Asc 150 Solar
About controller operation The ASC 150 Solar controller controls and protects a photovoltaic system (PVS) with up to 32 inverters. You can add the controller to an existing plant as a single controller setup, or use it with other DEIF controllers in a power/energy management system.
Page 6 AGC Genset ASC Storage Application for an ASC 150 Solar in a power management system with AGC Mains, AGC Genset and ASC Storage This is an example of a grid-tied application. The ASC Solar is in a power management system with an AGC Mains, an AGC Genset, and an ASC Storage.
Page 7: Display, Buttons And Leds
More information See the ASC 150 Solar data sheet for the variations on the grid-tied and off-grid arrangement. You can select the plant mode for the AGC Mains controller when you have a power management system. ASC Solar configuration Basic settings > Application type > Type...
Page 8 Name Function Confirm the selection on the screen. Back Go to the previous page. The controller automatically starts and stops (and connects and disconnects) the PV, and AUTO mode automatically controls the power. No operator actions are needed. Silence horn Turns off an alarm horn (if configured) and enters the Alarm menu.

Page 14: Modes Of Operation
4. Modes of operation Operate the ASC Solar controller in AUTO mode or SEMI-AUTO mode. In AUTO mode, the controller automatically starts and stops the PV, and controls the power automatically. In SEMI-AUTO mode, the operator or an external signal can open and close the PV breaker, and start the system.
Page 15: Fixed Power
Fixed power In AUTO and SEMI-AUTO mode, the PV system (PVS) supplies the amount of power configured in the set point for fixed power. The controller does not need power measurements from other power sources in fixed power applications. ASC Solar Start sequence 1.
Page 16: Mains Power Export (Mpe)
Mains power export (MPE) In this mode a constant level of power through the mains breaker is maintained. The power can be exported to the mains or imported from the mains, but always at a constant level. The set point can be 0 kW for zero export applications. Start sequence 1.

Page 18: Peak Shaving
Peak shaving The PV system (PVS) supplies the extra load when the mains import increases to more than the maximum import set point. The system runs parallel to the mains. AUTO mode 1. Select AUTO mode. 2. The PV breaker closes automatically. 3.
