2-7 respectively.
In the fiber networking, the SmartLogger connects to an inverter over an RS485
communications cable or an AC power cable, connects to a box-type transformer over the
RS485 communications cable or Ethernet network cable, and connects to southbound devices
such as the EMI and power meter over the RS485 communications cable.
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.
Figure 2-6 Ring fiber network diagram
The SmartLogger provides two 100M Ethernet optical ports to implement ring networking.
A maximum of 16 SmartLoggers can be connected to form a fiber ring network. Each SmartLogger
can connect to southbound devices such as the inverter, EMI, and power meter.
Multiple fiber ring networks can converge over an Ethernet switch or SmartLogger and then connect
to an NMS.
Multiple SmartLoggers can converge over an Ethernet switch and then connect to an NMS.
The SmartLogger connects to the Ethernet switch over optical fibers with the maximum
communications distance of 12 km in between.
LTE+RS485/PLC Networking
Figure 2-8 shows the LTE+RS485/PLC networking diagram.
In the LTE wireless networking scenario, the SmartLogger connects to the inverter over an
RS485 communications cable or an AC power cable, connects to a box-type transformer over
the RS485 communications cable or Ethernet network cable, connects to southbound devices
such as the EMI and power meter over the RS485 communications cable, connects to a
customer premises equipment (CPE) over an Ethernet electrical port, and transmits
information collected from southbound devices to an NMS in wireless mode.
The IP addresses for the SmartLogger, CPE, and monitoring devices in the box-type transformer
must be in the same network segment.
The IP address planned for the SmartLogger needs to be imported to the third-party NMS for the
NMS to proactively connect to the SmartLogger.
The IP address planned for the box-type transformer needs to be imported to the third-party NMS for
the NMS to proactively connect to the box-type transformer.
