3.2Sunways NT Monitor software
General information
The Sunways NT Monitor visualisation soft- ware was developed for PV system monito- ring and configuration of the solar inverter using PC. It is contained on the enclosed CD and can also be downloaded free of charge on the Internet from www.sunways.de.
System prerequisites are:
·Intel Pentium from 100 MHz or higher
·Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/NT
·At least 6 MB free hard disk storage space
·At least 16 MB main memory
·VGA monitor with at least 800 x 600 (120 dpi) resolution
All measured values can be transferred
to a PC and visualised with the Sunways NT Monitor software. Online, fault, minute, daily and monthly values are available.
For connecting to your PC, Sunways solar inverters in the NT series are equipped with the RS 232 and RS 485 interfaces as stan- dard. In the case of larger distances bet-
113 ween PV system and PC, the data can also
be transferred via a modem. We recom- mend using two external analogue modems made by ACER. If other modems are used, the functional reliability cannot always be guaranteed.
The modem (remote modem) installed in the solar inverter must be initialised prior to installation with the help of the Sunways NT Monitor software. Note the
"Help" function in the program in this EN regard.
The second modem (local modem) is connected to the RS 232 interface of your PC. This modem must not be initialised.
Different interface cables are required, depending on the type of connection. These are included in the accessories.
Up to 99 solar inverters can be monitored and read out by means of a connection via the RS 485 interface.
If the data are read out via the RS 485 interface and converted to RS 232 with an interface converter, we recommend the converter type
