l Physical Layout:Showsaschematicphysicallayoutofthecomponentsinthesystem,suchas:
inverters,stringsandmodules,aswellastheirelectricalconnectivity.Thisviewenablesabird’seye
viewoftheactuallocationofasystemcomponent.
Usingtheplatform,youcan:
l Viewthelatestperformanceofspecificcomponents.
l Findunder-performingcomponents,suchasmodules,bycomparingtheirperformancetothatof
othercomponentsofthesametype.
l Pinpointthelocationofalertedcomponentsusingthephysicallayout.
l Seehowcomponentsareconnectedtoeachother.
l Pairpoweroptimizersremotely.
Todisplayalogicallayout,inserttheinverterserialnumberinthenewsitecreatedintheapplication.
Whenthecommunicationbetweentheinverterandthemonitoringserverisestablished,thelogical
layoutisdisplayed.
Todisplayaphysicallayout,youneedtomapthelocationsoftheinstalledpoweroptimizers.Togenerate
aphysicalmapping,useeithertheSiteMapperapplicationorthephysicallayouteditorinthemonitoring
platform.
Thelogicalandphysicalmappingcanbeusedfordebuggingaproblemusingthemonitoringplatform.
IfyoudonotreportthephysicalandlogicalmappingoftheinstalledpoweroptimizerstoSolarEdge,the
monitoringplatformwillshowthelogicallayoutindicatingwhichpoweroptimizersareconnectedto
whichinverter,butwillnotshowstringsorthephysicallocationofpoweroptimizers.
TheinvertermaybeconnectedtothemonitoringplatformviaLANorbyusingaZigBeeGatewaysystem
oraCellularPlug-in.Alternatively,youcanuseRS485chain(bus)connectiontoconnectmultiple
SolarEdgedevicestooneinverterthatisalreadyconnectedtotheserver,inamaster/slaveconfiguration.
RefertoSettingUpCommunicationonpage52.
Providing Installation Information
UseoneofthefollowingmethodstoconnectyourPVsystemtothemonitoringplatform.
Mapper Application
Android
UsetheMappersmart-phoneapplicationtoscanthepoweroptimizerandinverter2Dbar-codes,and
mapthesystemphysicallayoutinthemonitoringplatform.Thisapplicationisintegratedwiththe
monitoringplatformandenables:
l Simpleon-siteregistrationofnewsystems.
l Creating,editingandverifyingsystemphysicallayout.
l Scanningandassigningthepoweroptimizerserialnumbertothecorrectlocationinthesystem
physicallayout.
