General description of the functions
The Webbox with LCD display for the digital sinus inverters of the DSW series, as well as the solar controllers of the MPPT
plus
+
series allows for the network-capable operation, setting and monitoring of your devices. In addition to the visual control of the
most important parameters during running operation, you have the possibility to store and evaluate the collected data on your
computer.
Functions
Your Webbox allows for controlling and monitoring up to four devices.
To operate two or more inverters or solar controllers with
one Webbox, you must first link all of the individual devices using an appropriate USB cable.
Then, a unique address must be assigned to every single device. The addresses are assigned on the inverter or solar controller
via a DIP switch.
(see instructions of each device).
Note: In the case of several devices, please pay attention to assign an individual address to every device, because
otherwise problems with the operation of the Webbox may occur!
Connection and startup procedure
