Monitoring and control systems
The RS485 line can be used to set up a line of communication which,
when connected to a monitoring device, enables the operation of the
photovoltaic system to be kept under control. Depending on the device
used monitoring can be local or remote.
Here below are some of the main ABB monitoring devices:
• Local monitoring
- “PVI-USB-RS485_232” converter and a PC with “Aurora Communi-
cator” software installed. It enables complete monitoring of the system
- PVI-DESKTOP. It enables the system’s main data to be viewed through
cabled RS485 communication
- PVI-DESKTOP and PVI-RADIOMODULE. It enables the system’s
main data to be viewed though wireless (radio) communication
• Remote monitoring
- PVI-AEC-EVO and “AV Plant Viewer” web portal. It enables the sy-
stem to be monitored remotely through online access
For information on installation, compatibility and use please refer to the specic documenta-
tion on the accessory components.
