2.1 Intended Use
The Inverter Manager is a device for monitoring and
controlling up to 42 SMA inverters of the type STP 60-10
and STP 60-US-10 in decentralized PV systems and
large-scale PV power plants with up to 2.5 MW power.
The I/O Box is a function interface for one Inverter
Manager. The I/O Box receives commands for grid
management services via digital signals and sends these
specifications to the Inverter Manager.
The Inverter Manager receives the specifications from the
I/O Box and controls all inverters in the system accordingly.
The Inverter Manager and the I/O Box must only be used
indoors and must only be operated with the SMA inverter
Sunny Tripower 60 (STP 60-10 and STP 60-US-10).
