Networking and Communication
5.2 Morningstar MeterBus
TM
Morningstar’s proprietary MeterBus
TM
protocol allows communication between compatible Morn-
ingstar products. Use a MeterBus TM network to:
• display net system data for multiple TriStar / TriStar MPPT systems**
• communicate with a TriStar Digital Meter 2 or TriStar Remote Meter 2
• communicate with a Relay Driver or other compatible Morningstar accessories (see sec-
tion 2.5 for more details)
**A Morningstar MeterBus Hub (HUB-1) and either a TriStar Digital Meter 2 (TS-M-2) or TriStar Remote Meter 2 (TS-RM-2) are
required, not included.
A MeterBus Hub (model: HUB-1) is required for MeterBus networks containing multiple
TriStar MPPT controllers. The ports on the hub are electrically isolated to prevent damage in the
event of broken grounds or voltage differences between controllers. Figure 5-1 below shows an
example MeterBus
TM
network with two (2) TriStar MPPT controllers and a TriStar Remote Meter 2
(TS-RM2).
Figure 5-1. An example MeterBus network.
Up to fi ve (5) controllers can be networked together with a single hub. Multiple hubs can be
daisy-chained together to allow networks of up to 14 controllers and a meter.
Refer to the HUB-1 and TriStar Meter manuals for more information about Morningstar Meter-
Bus
TM
networking.
