Please make sure to have them available before starting installation.
• Please check the SOLIVIA solar inverter manual for instructions on how to select the inverter ID. The gateway must have an AC power outlet within 2 meters of the gateway. • EN NOTICE Please make sure, that DHCP is activated at your router, so that the IP address of your gateway is automatically found. If DHCP is disabled at your router the gateway uses the default IP configuration. For further information, please refer to Chapter 10.
7 Installation Procedure 7.1 Registration First register for a SOLIVIA Monitor user account on the web at: http://monitoring.solarinverter.com. After registering you will receive a confirmation email including a link to activate your user account. After the activation of your user account go to http://monitoring.solar-inverter.com and login to setup your PV installation at the monitoring portal (only the plant and the gateway are needed, the inverter will be created automatically).
To dismount, pull the gateway's DIN rail latch OUT. Then, tilt the bottom part of the unit out, push the unit up and pull out from the DIN rail. EN 7.2.2 Mounting Directly to the Wall Mount the gateway with appropriate screws to the wall Use the 2 screws specified in Chapter 5.1 to mount the gateway with the DIN Rail to the wall. Center-to-center distance between the two boreholes is 70 mm. 70 mm Figure 2: Mounting the gateway directly to the wall 7.
The ripple control receiver that controls the power management (power limitation) has to be connected to the inputs 1 to 4. The receiver that controls the power factor (cos phi) has to be connected to the inputs 5 to 8. After connection of the ripple control receiver(s) the gateway has to be configured in order to do the required control of the SOLIVIA solar inverters. For further information, please refer to Chapters 10.5 and 10.6.
7.6 Power Connection Connect the power source to the SOLIVIA gateway (Step 3 in figure 4) and check the SOLIVIA gateway LED. If the setup is correct, the Status LED will be solid green for approx. 5 seconds. For further information, please refer to Chapter 8. EN Verify that your setup is successful by going to the SOLIVIA Monitor web portal at: http://monitoring.solar-inverter.com and log in to view your PV system. STATUS GW 3 RESET RS485 EXT.
After installation, the gateway checks the connection to the Ethernet and to the inverter. • If the Ethernet connection (connection to the internet resp. web portal) works, the gateway sends a message to the inverter. The following message appears on the display of the inverter: "Portal Connection ok". • If the Ethernet connection is not working, the following message appears on the display of the inverter: "No Portal Connection": Both messages will be displayed for 120 sec.
10.1 Access the Configuration Web Server To access the configuration tool, you have to install the software program "IP Resolver" that you can download from our website: www.solar-inverter.com. EN NOTICE Please make sure, that your internet connection is active! Once installed, start the program by double-click. The following window will open: In case that the IP address is not immediately found, click on the "rescan" button.
10.2 First Log in If you log in to the configuration web server for the first time, please enter the following log in data: • Default Username: Delta • Default Password: 000000 Then, click the "Log in" button. NOTICE If you leave the server untouched for more than five minutes, it is logged out automatically and any access will provide the log in page. As you log in for the first time, you will be asked to change your log in data for security reasons.
EN NOTICE By default the gateway is configured to get its IP address from a DHCP server. To confirm your entering, click the "Submit" button. 10.
10.4.1 RS485 Bus Communication Here you can set the baud rate of the gateway for the RS485 communication. The value should match the one of the inverter(s). The baud rate "19200" is set by default. NOTICE Please note, that the RS485 cable lengths is depending on the baud rate. Cable lengths should not exceed 1200 m if baud rate is 19200 (default value). 10.4.1.1 Wireless RS485 Modem If you are using a RS485 wireless modem, please check the box. 10.4.
10.4.4 Force Gateway Reset To reset the gateway to production settings press either the reset switch for more than 5 seconds or click on the "Reset" button. After reset of the gateway, the default values shall become used again requiring a new configuration if needed. EN All the inverter data are cleared, the device is reset and a new RS485 bus scan starts, ending with a flash store. The settings of Power Balancing, Power Management, Power Factor Control, Baud-rate and send interval remain unchanged. 10.
10.5.1 Power Management 1) There are four binary inputs that control the maximum power the inverter may feed into the grid. Power management is at 100 % for all relay state combination except 60 % for relay 1, 30 % for relay 2, and 0 % for relay 3 (default settings). 10.5.2 Power Factor Control 1) The power factor configuration page allows the definition of 15 values for the cos φ, either inductive or capacitive. If all inputs are inactive the cos φ is 1.00. The values are entered in the form 0.xx, e.g. 0.
EN Figure 5: Power factor control configuration page 10.6 Power Balancing 1) The German Low Voltage Directive VDE-AR-N-4105 requires a symmetrical power feed into all three lines of the AC grid. The allowed phase unbalance in Germany is 4.6 kVA. Other countries may have the same or similar requirements. Please observe the specific regulations of your country. If the power injected into the public grid is not evenly shared over the three phases, the gateway is able to balance this unsymmetry. 10.6.
10.6.1.1 Feature Activation By default the feature is off. For countries without restrictions nothing has to be done. 10.6.1.2 Power Balancing Requested from the Public Grid Supplier The default value is 4.6 kVA due to the German regulation. This value can be changed to other values without restriction. 10.6.1.3 Grid Assignment For each inverter found during the bus scan, you can choose to which line (L1, L2 or L3) the device is connected.
10.6.2 Balancing The gateway balances the power per phase after every data polling cycle: • The gateway requests every inverter for the current data. • After the last inverter of the bus has sent its information, the gateway calcuculates the power of each line. • The gateway calculates the current unbalance. • The gateway selects the inverters to be power reduced. • The gateway calculates the reduction factor that is needed to balance the power.
11 Delta Service Software The Delta Service Software enables the installer to adapt settings, realize firmware upgrades and other updates besides supporting him in detecting error sources, like e. g. over- or undervoltage -without any need to open the inverter. The memory from every inverter can be stored and readout with the software in order to facilitate maintenance and on-site service. Detailed information of every inverter can be monitored and if necessary adapted.
