Networking and Communication
• Charge Watt-hours
• Minimum/Maximum Battery Temperature
• Charge stage regulation timers for Absorption, Float, Equalize
* logging only standard values
NOTE:
If an RTS isn't installed, minimum and maximum battery temperatures will not
be available. In this case, minimum/maximum battery temperature will not be logged,
even if selected as an optional variable.
SNMP Traps
and (Commands)
NOTE: The default IP port assignment for the SNMP
Trap Receiver is 162
Asynchronous SNMP traps are configured and behave similarly to e-mail/SMS alerts. An SNMP
trap receiver can be specified in MSView
TM
. When a specified condition is met (alarm, fault,
custom event), a trap is sent to the receiver, notifying it of the condition.
As with e-mail and SMS alerts, the Ethernet equipped controller may have traps triggered by
conditions of other MODBUS
TM
enabled units on the network (EIA-485).
For telecom and industrial applications that
require
full SNMP monitoring of deployed systems,
the TriStar MPPT 600V
WILL NOT
operate as an SNMP Agent supporting the commands below,
UNLESS
, a Morningstar
EMC-1 accessory is installed WITH the unit.
Complete SNMP (v2c)
polling capabilities and implementation, available through the
required EMC-1 accessory
, are
described in Section 8.5 of the Morningstar Communications Document (Product Connectivity
Manual) and EMC-1 product manual located at:
http://morningstarcorp.com/support
NOTE:
SNMP does not support the
SET
message, which allows a user to alter a setting on the
device. This precaution helps to minimize the security and operational risks associated with the
unverified user access. Morningstar’s MSView PC software can be used to make changes to
device settings, if desired.
GET
Method used by the SNMP manager to request information from a SNMP Agent on a specific
OID.
GET NEXT
Method used by SNMP manager to work through an ordered list of OIDs according to the
standard MIB hierarchy.
GET BULK
A sequence of GetNext requests, allowing a large segment of the MIB hierarchy to be queried by
the SNMP manager from a managed device.
RESPONSE
Used by the SNMP Agent to deliver requested information. Also acts as an acknowledgment.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
NO POWER OR ACCESSORY TERMINALS ARE ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED FROM
DC INPUT, AND MAY BE ENERGIZED WITH HAZARDOUS SOLAR VOLTAGE. UNDER
CERTAIN FAULT CONDITIONS, BATTERY COULD BECOME OVER-CHARGED. TEST
BETWEEN ALL TERMINALS AND GROUND BEFORE TOUCHING.
A
VERTISSEMENT: RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLETRIQUE
.
NON ALIMENTATION OU AUX BORNES D’ACCESSOIRES SONT ISOLÉS ÉLEC-
TRIQUEMENT DE L’ENTRÉE DE C.C ET DOIT ÊTRE ALIMENTÉS À UNE TENSION DAN-
GEREUSE SOLAIRE. SOUS CERTAINES CONDITIONS DE DÉFAILLANCE, LA BATTERIE
POURRAIT DEVENIR TROP CHARGÉE. TEST ENTRE TOUTES LES BORNES ET LA MASSE
AVANT DE TOUCHER.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
A means of disconnecting all power supply poles must be provided. These
disconnects must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Open all power source disconnects
before removing controller wiring cover, or accessing wiring.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Risque de décharge électrique
Un moyen de déconnexion de tous les poteaux d'alimentation doit être fourni.
Ceux-ci se déconnecte doit être intégrée dans le câblage fixe. Ouvrir que toutes les source
d'énergie se déconnecte avant de retirer le couvercle de la contrôleur, ou accès au câblage.
6.1 Battery Charging and Performance Issues
Problem:
No LED indications, controller does not appear to be powered
Solution:
With a multi-meter, check the voltage at the battery terminals on the TriStar MPPT 600V. Bat-
tery voltage must be 16* vdc or greater. If the voltage on the battery terminals of the controller
is between 16 and 72 vdc, and no LEDs are lit, contact your authorized Morningstar dealer for
service. If no voltage is measured, check wiring connections, fuses, and breakers.
* Unit will power on with 10V, but 16V is required for charging to occur.
Problem:
The TriStar MPPT 600V is not charging the battery.
Solution:
Check the three (3) battery SOC LEDs. If they are flashing a sequence, see
Section 4.4 Faults
& Alarms
of this manual to determine the cause. If a TriStar Meter 2-600V is connected, the
diagnostics menu will display reported faults and alarms.
