Operating manual EDMM-10-BE-en-19 9

2 Safety SMA Solar Technology AG

NOTICE
Manipulation of PV system data in Ethernet networks
You can connect the supported SMA products to the Internet. When connected to the Internet,
there is a risk that unauthorized users can access and manipulate the data of your PV system.
• Set up a firewall.
• Close unnecessary network ports.
• If absolutely necessary, only enable remote access via a virtual private network (VPN).
• Do not use the port forwarding feature. This also applies to the used Modbus ports.
• Disconnect system components from other network components (network segmentation).

NOTICE
High costs due to inappropriate Internet tariff
Depending on use, the data volume of the product transferred via the Internet may vary in size.
The data volume depends, for example, on the number of inverters in the system, the frequency
of device updates, the frequency of data transfer to Sunny Portal or the use of FTP push. High
costs for the Internet connection can be the result.
• SMA Solar Technology AG recommends using an Internet flat rate with a monthly data
volume of at least 1 GB for systems with up to five SMA products.
• SMA Solar Technology AG recommends using an Internet flat rate with a monthly data
volume of at least 3 GB for systems with up to 50 SMA products.

DHCP Server is recommended.

The DCHP server automatically assigns the appropriate network settings to your nodes in the
local network. A manual network configuration is therefore not necessary. In a local network,
the Internet router is usually the DHCP server. If the IP addresses in the local network are to be
assigned dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the Internet router (see the Internet router
manual).
In networks where no DHCP server is active, proper IP addresses must be assigned from the
free address pool of the network segment to all network participants to be integrated during
commissioning.

IP addresses of Modbus devices

In systems with Modbus devices, static IP addresses must be assigned to all Modbus devices.
Suitable IP addresses can be assigned to the Modbus devices from the free address supply of
the network segment either manually or dynamically via DHCP.
If the IP addresses are to be assigned dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the router (see
the router manual). Make sure that the Modbus devices do not contain variable IP addresses
but always the same IP addresses.

4 Product Overview SMA Solar Technology AG

SMA Smart Connected

SMA Smart Connected is the free monitoring of the inverter via the SMA Sunny Portal. Thanks to
SMA Smart Connected, the PV system operator and qualified person will be informed automatically
and proactively about inverter events that occur.
SMA Smart Connected is activated during registration in Sunny Portal. In order to use SMA Smart
Connected, it is necessary that the inverter is permanently connected to Sunny Portal and the data
of the PV system operator and qualified person is stored in Sunny Portal and up-to-date.
SMA Smart Connected can only be used in Sunny Portal when this feature is supported by the
inverters.
Grid management services
The product is equipped with service functions for grid management.
Depending on the requirements of the grid operator, you can activate and configure the functions
(e.g. active power limitation) via operating parameters.
The setpoints from the grid operator can either be implemented via open-loop control or closed-
loop control. For this, the setpoints are specified via Modbus, via analog or digital signals or
manually in the installation assistant. The implementation of the setpoints is reported back to the
grid operator.
Active power limitation
The setpoint for active power limitation is specified in percent. The total system power is taken as
the reference value. For this, the setpoints are specified via Modbus, via analog or digital signals or
manually in the installation assistant.
Zero export
Some grid operators permit connection of PV systems only on condition that no active power is fed
into the utility grid. The PV energy is therefore consumed exclusively at the place where it is
generated.
This product enables the limitation of the active power feed-in of the connected SMA inverters to
0% with active closed-loop control of specifications at the grid-connection point.
Reactive Power Control
The reactive power control can take place through direct parameter settings (Q, cos φ) in the
installation assistant or a variable specification from the grid operator via the Modbus interface or
via analog signals. The reactive power control as characteristic curve function can also be
regulated as a function of the voltage at the grid-connection point Q(V). The values are specified as
a percentage of the maximum AC power. A proper meter for measuring the relevant electrical
variables (V, P, Q) is required at the grid-connection point.
Direct marketing
A direct marketer can use the product for remotely controlling the system via the built-in direct
marketing interface. In this process, control signals of the direct marketer are transferred to the
system. The function is activated via the installation assistant of the grid management services in the
product.

With the Data Manager, you can implement grid operator specifications for the limitation of the
active power feed-in from 0% to 100% in your system. The setpoint for limitation of active power
feed-in is specified in percent. The total system power is taken as the reference value. If your grid
operator requires the system not to feed in any active power, you must limit the active power feed-in
to a fixed value of 0% and additionally adjust the preset value for the active power gradient. Thus,
it is possible to limit the active power feed-in to 0% within a few seconds. To compensate for load

9 Configuration SMA Solar Technology AG

9.5 Configuring Modbus energy meters

Connected Modbus energy meters can be used as energy meters for generation and consumption
data at the grid-connection point or for energy monitoring. New Modbus profiles must be created
or predefined Modbus profiles must be used for this. The Modbus profiles will then be assigned to
the Modbus energy meters.
IP addresses of Modbus devices
In systems with Modbus devices, static IP addresses must be assigned to all Modbus devices.
Suitable IP addresses can be assigned to the Modbus devices from the free address supply of
the network segment either manually or dynamically via DHCP.
If the IP addresses are to be assigned dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the router (see
the router manual). Make sure that the Modbus devices do not contain variable IP addresses
but always the same IP addresses.
Creating a New Modbus Profile
1. Log into the user interface of the Data Manager.
2. Select the Device registration menu item in the Configuration menu.
3. Select the button Configuration in the Modbus devices row.
4. Select Manage your own Modbus profiles.
5. Select Create a new Modbus profile.
6. Fill out the entry fields and select [Save].
Registering a New Modbus Device and Assigning a Modbus Profile
Requirement:
☐ The Modbus energy meters must be in operation and connected to the Data Manager.

Procedure:
1. Log into the user interface of the Data Manager.
2. Select the Device registration menu item in the Configuration menu.
3. Select the button Configuration in the Modbus devices row.
4. Select the button to register a new Modbus device.
5. Fill out the entry fields and select [Save].
☑ The connected Modbus energy meter can be used as an energy meter for generation and
consumption data at the grid-connection point or for energy monitoring.

9.6 Configuring a System with several Data Managers

Several Data Managers can be integrated in one system. There are three options for using the
Data Manager:
• Stand-alone master
• Superordinate master
• Slave

42 EDMM-10-BE-en-19 Operating manual

SMA Solar Technology AG 9 Configuration

In systems with master and slaves, all slaves must first be commissioned to add them when the
master is commissioned.
Stand-alone master
Select the option Stand-alone master (recommended) in the installation assistant if you use the
Data Manager as a stand-alone device without other subordinate Data Managers for open-loop or
closed-loop control of your system.
Superordinate master
Select the option Superordinate master in the installation assistant if you use the Data Manager
as a superordinate device without other subordinate Data Managers for open-loop or closed-loop
control of your system. With this option, the superordinate Data Manager forwards the open-loop
or closed-loop control commands to the subordinate Data Manager via Modbus. For this,
subordinate Data Managers must be integrated as Modbus devices into the system of the
superordinate Data Manager. Meters at the grid-connection point must be connected to the
superordinate Data Manager.
Slave
Select the option Slave in the installation assistant if you want to use the Data Manager as
subordinate device. With this option, the subordinate Data Manager receives the open-loop and
closed-loop control commands of a superordinate device. These commands are forwarded as
open-loop control commands to the connected devices. In systems with a superordinate
Data Manager as master, all slaves must first be commissioned to be able to integrate them into the
system of the superordinate Data Manager. To do this, select the operating mode Control and the
signal source Modbus for the subordinate Data Manager.

• Enabling Automatic Firmware Update (recommended)
• Updating the Firmware at the product via USB Flash Drive
Automatically updating the firmware
• Activate the automatic firmware update via the user interface. By activating the automatic
firmware update, the product searches and installs new firmware versions automatically
provided an Internet connection exists. In the process, an available firmware update may take
up to 24 hours since the product only searches once in 24 hours for a firmware update.
Updating the Firmware at the product via USB Flash Drive
Requirements:
☐ A USB flash drive with maximum 32 GB storage capacity and file system FAT32 must be
available.
☐ USB flash drive at least in the version 2.0

3. Rename update file to "update.upd".
4. Plug the USB flash drive into the USB port on the product.
☑ During the firmware update, the System LED flashes orange and the COM LED flashes
green. This process can take several minutes.
☑ Once the new firmware update has been successfully downloaded, the System LED lights
up green and the COM LED flashes green. This process can take several seconds.
☑ The device restarts automatically. During the restart, the System LED and the COM LED
flash orange. The start-up procedure can take up to five minutes.
☑ Once the firmware has been updated successfully, the System LED glows green
continuously and the COM LED flashes green. If the System LED does not glow green
permanently and the COM LED does not flash green, update the firmware again.
5. Once the firmware has been successfully updated, pull the USB flash drive out of the Data
Manager USB port.
