4 Product overview
• Modbus client.
The function of the Modbus server is available via the Ethernet interface (Modbus TCP). The
Modbus server can be used for external access to the product (e.g. via SCADA systems).
The function of the Modbus client is available via the Ethernet interface (Modbus TCP) and the
RS485 interface (Modbus RTU). The Modbus client can be used for communication with connected
Modbus devices (e.g., inverters, energy meters, I/O systems).
For the communication with connected Modbus devices, predefined Modbus profiles and user-
created Modbus profiles can be used. User-created Modbus profiles can be exported and
transferred to another product.
4.6.4

SunSpec Modbus

The product supports the standardized SunSpec Modbus profile via the interface of the Modbus
client (Modbus TCP/RTU). The SunSpec Modbus profile from the SunSpec Alliance contains a
comprehensive set of measured values and parameters for Modbus devices in decentralized power
generation systems (e.g. inverters, energy meters, weather stations). The product has data points of
the SunSpec Alliance and therefore conforms with the SunSpec Modbus profile of the underlying
specification version (see www.sunspec.org). Connected Modbus devices compatible with the
SunSpec Modbus profile are automatically integrated into the system with the appropriate Modbus
profile.
4.6.5

User Interface

The product is equipped as standard with an integrated webserver, which provides a user interface
for configuring and monitoring the product.
Once the connection has been established to the smart device, use a terminal (e.g. smartphone,
tablet or laptop) to connect to the product's user interface using a web browser.
Connected SMA products can be configured and commissioned via the user interface of the
product.

4.6.6 Sunny Portal
Sunny Portal is an Internet portal which enables you to monitor systems and to visualize system
data.
The Sunny Portal serves as the user interface for the extended configuration of the product, of
system sections, systems, system groups and the entire system portfolio. The Sunny Portal monitors
and analyzes the system and its components on all levels.
There are two Sunny Portal versions: the Sunny Portal Classic (https:// www.sunnyportal.com) and
the newly developed Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS (https:// ennexOS.sunnyportal.com).
Both systems differ in their supported functions. With an existing user account, you can log into both
portals, the Sunny Design (system planning software from SMA) as well as the app SMA 360°.
