Solar-Log™ Modbus TCP PM

1 Solar-Log™ Modbus TCP PM

Note!
A description of the initially used version 1.0 of the Modbus TCP PM interface can be found in
the document „Modbus TCP PM V. 2.7“ on our homepage.
From firmware version 6.xx at the latest, version 1 of the interface can no longer be used.

The purpose of this interface is to communicate with external control devices or communication devices in PV
plants. Active- and Reactive Power commands can be sent to the system via the interface. In the other direction,
plant values can be transmitted to the, for example, energy supplier.
The interface requires a license (Modbus TCP PM, Item no. 255511) and must be configured in the PM area of the
Solar-Log™.

ModbusTCP port:
• 502

Slave ID:
• 1

Implemented Modbus functions (only this functioncodes are allowed):

• 04 (ReadNInputRegister) to read one or multiple 16 bit words

• 06 (Write1Register) to write one 16 bit word

• 16 (WriteNRegister) to write multiple 16 bit words

The functions of the Modbus TCP PM interface have been redesigned in firmware version 3.3.0.
To ensure compatibility of existing applications, the existing functions / register (V1 Power Control and
Data Confirmation) were left as they were designed before. The new functionality is available in a separate register
area
(Power Control V2).
Power Control V2 provides you with all available functions for new developments - the use of the V1 register is no
longer supported.

The Solar-Log™ Modbus implementation uses different byte and word orders. The Modbus protocol byte order
follows the big-endian Modbus specification and is thus compatible with standard Modbus implementations. The-
refore, the higher byte in value is transferred first.

The proprietary-specific register order for 32-bit values uses a little-endian word order. For a 32-bit value, the
lower value word is stored in the first register and the higher value word in the second register.

 Power Management

2 Power Management

The Modbus registers for Power Management are divided into two regions. First region is for specifying the power
commands like required power reduction or reactive power, second is the return information of current measure-
ment.
Please note, that for most return information in addition a Utility Meter device is necessary. Refresh interval with
Utility Meter is ca. 200 ms. Power commands typically will be executed within less tan a second, depending on
number of inverters and brand.

* In register 10213 a time span in seconds must be set in which the watchdog Register 10211 must be triggered.
Register 10211 must be written cyclically. No signal within the WatchDog Time (10213) triggers the fallback: „Fai-
lure of the remote control“. With firmware 6.xx there is a 2nd watchdog possibility, where the write accesses in all
PM registers are controlled.
