Select the tabs across the top to perform configuration operations and select one of the ports in
the Devices list to set up devices.
Verify all the icons for the Aurora Logger in the status area to the right are green. It may take
some time for all the icons to turn green.
The MAC address (Logger ID) for the Data Logger is displayed at the top of the page. Be sure to
write down the MAC address of the Data Logger. The MAC address will be needed later for
Asset Registration.
3.3 Configure for Inverter Devices
The Devices list on the Home page will show all the different devices connected through all
the ports on the Data Logger. It is essential that the devices you set up here match how
devices are physically connected to your Aurora Logger.
By default, only the two RS-485 ports are set up. The primary RS-485 port is set to Modbus
RTU and the secondary RS-485 is set to Power-One. The default supports hardware
connections where all Power-One inverters are attached as an RS-485 daisy chain and
connected to the Secondary RS-485 port. Optional weather stations used with the
Commercial Logger are connected to the Primary RS-485 port. See Section 4 if you are adding
a weather station.
For the Secondary RS-485 connection, once Power-One inverters are properly addressed and
wired in the RS-485 daisy chain, inverters will automatically be discovered and displayed.
