PWRcell System
Figure 3-11. PWRcell System Example
Communication
All communication between REbus devices takes place
over the REbus conductors using Power Line Carrier
(PLC) communication. No additional communication wir-
ing or equipment is required for communication between
PWRgenerator and PWRcell Inverter.
Inverter Control Module
See
. In addition to an on-board control
panel, PWRgenerator may also receive commands and
setting changes from the PWRcell Inverter control mod-
ule (ICM) located on the front of the PWRcell Inverter.
See PWRcell Inverter owner’s manual for more informa-
tion on settings and display screens.

Auto Start/Stop State of Charge (SoC) Setpoints
There are two user-adjustable PWRgenerator setpoints
which dictate when the PWRgenerator will automatically
be prompted to start and stop while in AUTO mode: Auto-
StrtSoC and AutoStopSoC. These setpoints can be
adjusted through the Mod Settings menu on the PWR-
generator device page on the ICM.
PWRgenerator Start/Stop Commands
PWRgenerator can be manually commanded to start or
stop from the PWRgenerator device menu. The following
criteria must be met for the commands to take effect:
•
PWRgenerator must be set to AUTO at generator
control panel.
•
PWRcell Inverter must be in Island Mode.
