2.3 Cyber Security
Most operating activities such as monitoring and control of PV systems can be done locally by the PV system operator
or service personnel without the need for data communication via public Internet infrastructure. These operating
activities, including data communication between PV system operator/service personnel and PV inverter, data logger
or additional equipment, can be accessed by using local displays, keypads or using local access of the webserver of a
device in the LAN of the PV system or of the building.
In other use cases of PV systems, the PV systems are also part of the global communication system, which is based on
Internet infrastructures.
The data communication via Internet is an up-to-date, economically viable and customer-friendly approach in order to
enable easy access for the following modern applications such as:
• Cloud platforms (e.g. SunnyPortal)
• Smartphones or other mobile devices (iOS or Android apps)
2 Safety
SMA Solar Technology AG
User Manual 15SCCPXT-E7-BA-en-58
• SCADA systems, which are remotely connected
• Utility interfaces for grid management services
Alternatively, selected and secured communication interfaces may be used. These solutions are no longer state of the
art and are very expensive to use (special communication interfaces, separate wide area networks and more).
When using the Internet infrastructure, the systems connected to the Internet are entering a basically unsecure area.
Potential attackers constantly seek vulnerable systems. Usually, they are criminally motivated, have a terrorist
background or aim to disrupt business operations. Without taking any measures to protect PV systems and other
systems from such misuse, a data communication system should not be connected to the Internet.
You can find the current recommendations by SMA Solar Technology AG on the topic Cyber Security in the Technical
Information "PUBLIC CYBER SECURITY - Guidelines for a Secure PV System Communication" at www.SMA-Solar.com.

Switch position Start
Switch position "Start"
If the key switch is turned to Start, a motor drive switches the DC switchgear on and the inverter switches from the
operating state "Stop" to the operating state "Grid monitoring". Provided that there is sufficient irradiation and a valid
utility grid connection, the inverter switches to feed-in operation. If there is insufficient irradiation and the input voltage
is therefore too low, the inverter remains in the operating state "Grid monitoring".
Switch position "Stop"
If the key switch is turned to Stop while the inverter is in the operating state "Grid monitoring", a motor drive switches
the DC switchgear off. The inverter switches to the operating state "Stop". If the key switch is turned to Stop while the
inverter is in the operating state "MPP load operation", the inverter switches to the operating state "Shutdown". Once
shutdown is complete, the AC disconnection unit and the DC switchgear are opened automatically and the inverter
switches to the operating state "Stop".

High-current contact Check whether the high-current contacts established at the installation site are tightened to
the correct torque. If the torque is not correct, release and clean the high-current contact and
tighten with the required torque.
Terminal lugs Ensure that the terminal lugs are crimped edge to edge.
Cable support rails Ensure that the cables are adequately attached to the cable support rails.
4.3.4 Checking the High-Current Contacts Made at the Factory
High-current contacts made at the factory
High-current contacts made at the factory are marked off. Providing that the marking is not damaged and runs
across the bolted connection as shown in the figure, this means that the torque complies with the specifications.
Procedure:
• Check whether the high-current contacts made at the factory are correctly marked off.
If a high-current contact is not correctly marked off, release the high-current contact, tighten with the required
torque and mark off again.
