MAKING MODERN LIVING POSSIBLE

Product & Application News no. 5 - september 2007

Access to your PV system data from anywhere at any time with ComLynx Weblogger.
Lean back and relax, the Danfoss WEB logger monitors the PV system and lets you know how everything is doing by sending you an SMS or e-mail, you do not need to keep a constant eye on things. Yet, any time you want, you can monitor your investment from anywhere in the world all you need is an Internet browser. The WEB logger instantly reports when individual values deviate from the average or if events arise and so minimize down time as instant reaction is possible. Additionally, WEB logger data can be used to initiate preventive actions as past and present performance can be compared.

Benefits & Advantages

For the installer Fast identification of total system condition Easy identification of troublesome areas Initialization of preventive actions based on WEB logger information Better planning of service visits as the WEB logger can pin point trouble areas For the owner Monitor your investment from anywhere Instant information on deviations Rest easy - the WEB logger lets you know how everything is going Standard WEB browser, no special software required Competitive advantage Higher yield as deviations from normal are instantly recognized Lower service costs as troublesome areas are easily identified and can be targeted specifically

Behind the news technical information

Data Collection The WEB logger logs data from up to 50 inverters in a system and can via a web page show information from each inverter, along with overall system status. To view data, start an Internet browser, enter the address for the WEB logger, and all data is instantly available. The WEB logger records all data available from the inverter. For additional information on ambient temperature, irradiation and other conditions, a sensor interface can be connected. To the sensor interface an impulse counter can be connected in order to settle accounts with the public utility more accurately. Surveillance Inverter events, communication breaches, lack of production and system changes can be communicated via e-mail or SMS. It pin points the area affected and what the matter is, optimizing subsequent service planning and efforts. Graphical representation When logging into the web page of the WEB logger different tabs can be chosen to look at parameters. It is possible to see the current status of the PV system, inverter details and sensor details. Reports on todays production or events can also be collated. Thirdly, various diagrams of yield of the complete system, a

group of inverters or a single inverter can be shown. Configuration Several options of configuration of the WEB logger are possible. It can be setup to suit the individuals requirements completely. Search, re-naming, and grouping of inverters Selection of inverters for data logging Minimum yield for alarm configu ration Maximum yield deviation from average for alarm configuration

Activation of additional sensors System control (network, modem, e-mail) Information management and time before notice Password management, service functionality and download

Communication Everything is handled via the ordinary web browser on the computer. The WEB logger and the computer can be inter-connected directly, via LAN or a modem.
