When connecting cables, ensure that the RS485+ and RS485- ports on the EMI respectively
connect to the COM+ and COM- ports on the SmartLogger.
The EMI cannot be automatically identified. After connecting cables, log in to the embedded WebUI
and manually add the EMI. For details, see
. Set
Device Type
to

.
After adding the EMI, set parameters by following the instructions in
in
7.8.5.2 Setting Running Parameters
. Select the EMI model that is provided by the
manufacturer.
If the SmartLogger needs to be connected to an EMI and multiple inverters, connect the EMI at the
end of the daisy chain, and verify that the port connected to the EMI has a unique communications
address. For the daisy chain connection, see

Follow-up Procedure
Disconnection can be performed in reverse order.
4.6.3 Connecting the SmartLogger to a Split EMI
Connecting to an EMI over a COM Port
The EMI used in Europe and Southeast Asia is composed of sensors, whose signals need to be
converted into RS485 signals (Modbus-RTU) over an extra analog-to-digital converter before
the sensors are connected to the SmartLogger.
The analog-to-digital converter should provide an RS485 port and support standard
Modbus-RTU. This section describes the connection between the SmartLogger and a split
EMI through the ADAM4117 that functions as an analog-to-digital converter.
The SmartLogger provides six RS485 communications ports. For the port descriptions, see
4.5.2 Connecting the SUN2000 over RS485
shows how to connect the SmartLogger to a split EMI over an analog-to-digital
converter.
