• IEEE 2030.5 certified gateway
• Enables communication between MATE3s and the
utility company
• Works with Radian or FXR Inverter installations
The CSIP Bridge by Outback Power
™
provides a quick and simplified way to
remain compliant with SunSpec IEEE 2030.5
regulations on existing Radian and FXR
inverters.
The CSIP (Common Smart Inverter Profile) Bridge works seamlessly
with the MATE3s system display and controller for both the Radian
and FXR inverters. The device provides secure communications
between a utility company and an inverter. This ensures compliance
with California Rule 21, Phase 2, and key functions required in Phase 3.
Our CSIP Bridge makes it easy for installation in that the device itself
does not need to be located near the MATE3s; it just needs to be
on the same network. An installer-supplied Ethernet cable is used to
connect the CSIP Bridge on the same LAN as the MATE3s. Indoor
installation only.
The CSIP Bridge requires the MATE3s firmware to be updated
to at least version 001.004.003. It requires a USB power supply
(provided) and a USB computer connection cable (provided).
Installers utilize their own computer for setup via USB connection.
The CSIP Bridge features LED indicators for operation and power.
These are easily visible to ensure that the owner can quickly check its
operations status. It also features a USB (Micro-B) port which both
powers the device and acts as a communication device during the
initial boot-up. The Ethernet communication port is used for SunSpec
IEEE 2030.5 secure communications with the utility company. The
product also has a standard USB port. All the features, simplicity of
install and use make OutBack Power’s CSIP Bridge the best choice in
compliance for the IEEE 2030.5 regulation.
The SunSpec IEEE 2030.5 communications protocol was selected
by the Smart Inverter Working Group (SIWG), which grew out of
a collaboration between the CPUC and CEC to provide uniform
requirements for communication support in Rule 21.
