Device Type
is used to select the specific port configuration. The following devices are supported:
SolarEdge
(default for RS485-1): Used when connecting to SolarEdge devices, such as: inverters,
SMIs or other gateways. By default, all SolarEdge devices are pre-configured as slaves on the
RS485-1 port.
Revenue Meter
: Used when connecting to an external revenue grade meter, in order to read
the meter data and send it to the monitoring portal. For a list of supported meters, refer to
http://www.solaredge.com/articles/se-supported-devices
Non-SE Logger
: Used when connecting to an external non-SolarEdge logger. The logger can
read SolarEdge inverters data for Non-SolarEdge monitoring purposes.
None
: No device
(default for RS485-2)
Protocol:
When selecting a SolarEdge device, the following protocols appear under the Protocol option:
Slave (default)
Master
When selecting Device Type <Inv. Reader>, the Device Type <field> changes to
Device Type
<INV>
When selecting Device type <Non-SE Logger>, the Device Type <field> changes to
Device Type
<LGR>
and the following protocol appears under the Protocol option:
SunSpec
(default)
When selecting Device type <Revenue Meter>, the Device Type <field> changes to
Device Type
<MTR>
NOTE:
For other supported protocols, refer to
