TRIO 20.0/27.6-TL-OUTD-US-480 | Programming for HECO compliance 3
3. Parameter setting via software tool Aurora Manager Lite
Aurora Manager Lite is a free ABB software which communicates with the ABB TRIO inverter by reading the inverter data, settings
and sending commands. Contact ABB solar inverter post-sales technical support at 1-877-261-1374 to obtain the software and
any required password.
To use the Aurora Manager Lite software, it is necessary to connect a laptop PC to the inverter. The computer must communicate
through an RS485 line using an RS485-to-USB adapter. ABB recommends the ABB Aurora Adapter in order to avoid compatibility
issues; however, equivalent devices may be used. For details connecting the ABB Aurora Adapter to the inverter, refer to Appendix
A: How to connect the laptop PC to the inverter on page 6 of this instruction.
For the procedure to access the Aurora Manager Lite software, refer to Appendix B: How to launch Aurora Manager LITE on page
7 of this instruction.
When multiple TRIO inverters are daisy chained, it is possible to change the parameters on all inverters connected in the chain at
one time. Once the laptop PC is connected to the daisy chain, Aurora Manager Lite will scan for all inverters and list each by model
and serial number on the left side of the screen. Verify that each inverter in the daisy chain is identified in the list. Refresh the list if
necessary. All inverters in the daisy chain must be set to communicate through Aurora Protocol. If set to Modbus, each inverter will
need to be changed to Aurora Protocol or individually updated to HECO parameters.
Once the laptop PC is connected to the inverter, click on the
Setup
tab as shown in Figure 2 below.
