3.2 Sunways NT Monitor software
General information
The Sunways NT Monitor visualisation soft-
ware was developed for PV system monito-
ring and configuration of the solar inverter
using PC. It is contained on the enclosed CD
and can also be downloaded free of charge
on the Internet from www.sunways.de.
System prerequisites are:
· Intel Pentium from 100 MHz or higher
· Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/NT
· At least 6 MB free hard disk storage space
· At least 16 MB main memory
· VGA monitor with at least 800 x 600
(120 dpi) resolution
All measured values can be transferred
to a PC and visualised with the Sunways NT
Monitor software. Online, fault, minute,
daily and monthly values are available.
For connecting to your PC, Sunways solar
inverters in the NT series are equipped with
the RS 232 and RS 485 interfaces as stan-
dard. In the case of larger distances bet-
ween PV system and PC, the data can also
be transferred via a modem. We recom-
mend using two external analogue
modems made by ACER. If other modems
are used, the functional reliability cannot
always be guaranteed.
The modem (remote modem) installed
in the solar inverter must be initialised
prior to installation with the help of the
Sunways NT Monitor software. Note the
"Help" function in the program in this
regard.
The second modem (local modem) is
connected to the RS 232 interface of your
PC. This modem must not be initialised.
Different interface cables are required,
depending on the type of connection.
These are included in the accessories.
Up to 99 solar inverters can be monitored
and read out by means of a connection
via the RS 485 interface.
If the data are read out via the RS 485
interface and converted to RS 232 with
an interface converter, we recommend
the converter type «I-7520 Converter»
