Xantrex Technology PV100S-480 installation manual System Status and Fault Reporting, Data Logging

Introduction

System Status and Fault Reporting

Basic system status and all fault conditions rising from within the PV100S are reported to the UFCU. The unit stores the time and details of all faults in non-volatile memory. The 4-line LCD will display a hexadecimal value and a brief text description of the fault.

This information can also be accessed using a personal computer using the GUI software either directly or remotely. Alternatively, the fault reporting can be accomplished using the optional Fax Modem.

Types of status information include:

•Current Operating State or Goal State

•Fault Code (if applicable)

•Inverter State

•Line Voltage and Current

•Inverter Matrix Temperature

•Inverter Power

•PV State

•PV Voltage and Current

•PV Power

•Grid Frequency

•Peak Power Tracker Enabled

Data Logging

The inverter stores data values and software metrics for debugging. These values are stored within the CCU2 controller board in non-volatile memory. Data logging requires the use of a PC connection using the Xantrex Solar Graphic User Interface (GUI) software.

The data logging features include the following.

•Operational Values

•Internal Metrics

•Data Log Acquisition

•Graphic Data Analysis

•Fault Log Acquisition

•Software Upgrade

•Accumulated Values

•Configurable Parameters
