14 Appendix 14.1 Control Output Power with RRCR The inverter can be connected to a RRCR (Radio Ripple Control Receiver) in order to dynamically control the output power of all the inverters. Users can control and limit the active power on the LCD by setting the active power limitation, which is a fixed power limit as a percentage, i.e.

Appendix 14.2 Application of Parallel Function Datahub parallel connection The series inverter provides the parallel connection function when connected with Datahub, which could support at most 60 inverters to parallel in one system and can control zero injection to the grid with a meter installed in the main circuit. In this parallel system, the Datahub will be the master of the system, and all the inverters are the slaves.

Appendix NOTICE! Datahub Installation Guide. • For details on the wiring operation of Datahub, see Modbus parallel connection The device offers master-slave parallel connection for up to 10 devices, with one serving as the master and the others as slaves. A 485 communication wire must be attached directly to the inverter.
