2.2 Overview

Function

The SmartLogger monitors and manages the PV power system. It converges all ports, converts protocols, collects and stores data, and centrally monitors and maintains the devices in the PV power system.

Network Application

The SmartLogger applies to a PV power system. It supports the following:



Local operations on the SmartLogger using the mobile phone app through the built-in WLAN



RS485 networking, which enables the SmartLogger to connect to:

− Huawei devices such as inverters and PID modules

− Third-party inverters, environment monitoring instrument (EMIs), box-type

transformers, and power meters that use the standard Modbus-RTU protocol

− Power meters that use the DL/T645 protocol

− Devices that use the standard IEC103 protocol



PLC networking, which enables the SmartLogger to connect to inverters and the PID-PVBOX.



Ethernet, 2G, 3G, or 4G networking, which allows the SmartLogger to connect to a network management system (NMS) that uses the Modbus TCP or IEC104 protocol

When using the IEC104 protocol,4G/3G/2G networking is not supported.

4.4 Connecting an AC Power Cable (PLC)

Context

If both the SmartLogger and the inverter support PLC, the SmartLogger can be connected to the inverter through an AC power cable. In this case, you do not need to connect the RS485 communications cable of the inverter.

If the SmartLogger uses an AC power cable as the communications cable, a MCB and a knife fuse switch need to be installed to prevent device damage in the case of short circuits.
