2. Product Overview

2.1. Product Description

Grid management of PV plants with TLX Pro or TLX Pro+ inverters is handled by the CLX GM
and the master functionality of the TLX Pro and TLX Pro+ inverters.

The CLX GM is connected directly to the output of a radio ripple control receiver. The receiver
has  4  digital  outputs  K1-K4,  which  are  used  by  the  grid  operators  for  signalling  either  power
reduction or reactive power setpoint commands.

The CLX GM reads the current relay state and via its Ethernet connection to the inverter net-
work it broadcasts a message to the master inverter. Therefore all configuration of how to react
upon a certain relay state is performed directly in the master inverter itself. The CLX GM is con-
nected to the receiver and the inverter network and requires no additional configuration.
