MONITORING INVERTERS IN A PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM

摘要

In a method for monitoring multiple inverters (2) in a photovoltaic system via a common serial interface (4) a first data protocol and a first set of interface characteristics is applied for establishing a connection to a first one of the inverters (2) via the common serial interface (4). Data is received from the first inverter in response to establishing the connection. A second data protocol and a second set of interface characteristics is applied for establishing a connection to a second one of the inverters (2) via the common serial interface (4). Data is received from the second inverter in response to establishing the connection. The first data protocol differs from the second data protocol and/or the first set of interface characteristics differs from the second set of interface characteristics.
