2.5 System Wiring Diagram
Scenario with a Smart Array Controller
Huawei smart array controller, also a communication box, is an outdoor cabinet that controls the
communication of the PV array in a PV plant. The cabinet can house the SmartLogger, ATB, POE
module, and POE SPD.
This document describes the application scenario where the SmartLogger is inside the smart array
controller SmartACU2000A-D-PLC.
The general single-phase input power cable for the smart array controller needs to be
prepared by the customer. You are advised to use a two-core armor copper cable with an
operating voltage to the ground greater than or equal to 300 V and a cross-sectional area of
4 mm2 for each core wire.
The power cable from the miniature circuit breaker (MCB) to the station-service power
source needs to be prepared by the customer. You are advised to use a two-core armor
copper cable with an operating voltage to the ground greater than or equal to 300 V and a
cross-sectional area of 4 mm2 for each core wire.
The PLC three-phase input power cable for the smart array controller needs to be prepared
by the customer. You are advised to use a three-core armor copper cable with an operating
voltage greater than or equal to 1000 V and a cross-sectional area of 10 mm2 for each core
wire. Connect this cable only in the PLC networking scenario.
The cable from the busbar to the knife fuse switch needs to be prepared by the customer.
You are advised to use a three-core, multi-strand armor cable with an operating voltage to
the ground greater than or equal to 1000 V and a cross-sectional area of 10 mm2 for each
core wire. Connect this cable only in the PLC networking scenario.
If the SmartLogger uses an AC power cable for communication, an MCB or a knife fuse
switch needs to be installed to prevent device damage in the case of short circuits.
If the SmartLogger communicates with the SUN2000 over an AC power cable, the cable
from the knife fuse switch to the MCB and the cable from the busbar to the knife fuse
switch both need to be prepared by yourself. You are advised to use a three-core armored
cable with the operating voltage to the ground greater than or equal to 1000 V and a
cross-sectional area of a single core wire being 10 mm2.
The SmartLogger can connect to the SUN2000 over an RS485 communications cable or
AC power cable. If RS485 is used, there is no need to connect an AC power cable between
the SmartLogger and the MCB in the scenario without a smart array controller.
The power cable delivered with the SmartLogger is 1 meter long, the power adapter cable
is 1.5 meters long, the network cable is 2.2 meters long, and the AC power cable is 1.5
meters long. Reserve the installation positions for components based on the cable lengths.

Context
The SmartLogger is integrated with the PLC central coordinator (CCO) that can work with
the SUN2000 integrated with the PLC station (STA) to implement power line communication
(PLC) networking over power cables.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect one end of the delivered AC power cables to an MCB.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cables to the AC1 and AC2 ports on the SmartLogger
respectively.
Figure 4-12 Connecting AC power cables to the SmartLogger
Table 4-5 describes the components shown in Figure 4-12.
If the SmartLogger communicates with the SUN2000 through PLC, no RS485 communications
cable needs to be connected between them.
After connecting cables to the AC ports, log in to the embedded WebUI and enable the PLC function
in the SmartLogger. For details, see 7.10.7.1 Connecting Devices. 7.7.4.3 Networking Settings
describes how to configure PLC parameters for the SmartLogger.
The port used for PLC networking is RS485-0. The recommended Baud Rate for the port is 115200
bps, which can provide optimal communications performance.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
Disconnection can be performed in reverse order.
4.5.4 Connecting Multiple SUN2000s
The SmartLogger can connect to multiple SUN2000s through a daisy chain or AC power
cables.
Daisy Chain Connection
In the daisy chain connection mode, the RS485OUT of one SUN2000 is connected to the
RS485IN port of the next SUN2000, and the first SUN2000 is connected to the SmartLogger
as described in 4.5.2 Connecting the SUN2000 Over RS485.
Figure 4-13 Connecting the SmartLogger to multiple SUN2000s
Each SmartLogger can connect to a maximum of 200 devices. You are advised to connect less than
30 devices to each RS485 route. Each SmartLogger can connect to a maximum of 150 SUN2000s.
If an EMI is to be connected, connect it at the end of the chain.
Set Build-out Resistor to Enable under Comm. Param. for the SUN2000 at the end of each daisy
chain. For details, see SUN2000 APP User Manual.
The IP addresses for all devices in the daisy chain should be within the searching segment set in the
SmartLogger and they must differ from each other. Otherwise, the communication would fail
between the devices and the SmartLogger.
You can perform the Auto Assign Address operation on the built-in WebUI of the SmartLogger. If
an RS485 address conflict is detected for SUN2000s, the SmartLogger automatically reassigns
addresses without the need for local address upgrade for the SUN2000s.
The values of Baud rate for all the devices in each daisy chain should stay consistent with the baud
rate of the SmartLogger.
AC Power Cable Connection
Figure 4-14 shows the method for connecting the SmartLogger to multiple SUN2000s over
AC power cables.
Figure 4-14 PLC networking
If the SmartLogger communicates with the SUN2000 over PLC, ensure that the SUN2000 with PLC
is used.
If the SmartLogger communicates with the SUN2000 over PLC, one SmartLogger can connect to a
maximum of 80 SUN2000s over the built-in PLC CCO. If the SmartLogger is also connected to an
external PLC CCO over the COM port, one SmartLogger can connect to a maximum of 150
SUN2000s.
There are two types of EMIs. One is a standard EMI that supports Modbus-RTU, and the
other is a split-type EMI that consists of various sensors.

When the SUN2000 is
used in scenarios
where PV strings are
obviously shaded,
enable this function.
Then the SUN2000
will perform MPPT
scanning at regular
intervals to locate the
maximum power.
RCD refers to the
residual current of the
SUN2000 to the
ground. To ensure
device security and
personal safety, RCD
should comply with
the standard. If an AC
switch with a residual
current detection
function is installed
outside the SUN2000,
this function should
be enabled to reduce
the residual current
generated during
SUN2000 running,
thereby preventing the
AC switch from
misoperations.
