Communication connection diagrams

The communication connection diagrams shows how the integrated ethernet

and wireless board allows the locally or remotely connection to the inverter.

Communication interface

The inverter provide the following integrated communication interfaces:

- Wi-Fi channel (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n@2.4GHz)

The use is recommended to access wiressely to embedded web

server by using any WLAN standard device (PC, tablet. smartphone)

for commissioning and parameter setting. Additionally there is second

radio channel that can be used for connection to wireless router.

- 2x Ethernet ports (10/100BaseTx - RJ45 plugs)

The ports are congured by default for enabling daisy chain connection

of the inverters over the Ethernet bus.

In order to improve the reliability of the communication with the inverters

it is also allowed to create ring shape layout by using this Ethernet bus

- 1x RS485 ports (terminal block)

The port enables daisy chain connection of the inverters over the

serial line (slave mode). The port can either be used for connecting

supported accessories (like weather station, meter...): in this case data

from accessories will be logged and transferred to the cloud by inver-

ter itself (master mode).

Ethernet bus connection

By default the 2 Ethernet ports of the inverters are already congured for

enabling communication over daisy chain layout.

Once physically connected the inverters does not need specic set-

tings: after the rst turning on, the inverters automatically got all nee-

ded network parameters with or without the presence of DHCP server.

If an internet connection is available on site the inverters are automati-

cally congured to transmit telemetry data to Aurora Vision Cloud without

the need of installing any additional devices (logging capability are alrea-

dy integrated into the inverter by default).

Aurora Vision Plant Management platform is the ABB cloud solution allowing customer to

remotely monitor and manage its own solar plants. Please refer to http://new.abb.com/power-

converters-inverters/solar or contact ABB technical support for further information on how get-

ting an Aurora Vision account

With the inverters connected over Ethernet daisy chain and with an

available internet connection it will be always possible, via Aurora Vision

Cloud, to upgrade remotely the rmware of the inverters.
