KACO XP100-HV Inverter Communication Driver is the driver to communicate with inverter controller of KACO Geratetechnic GmbH in Germany.

 

1. Read settings

 

<Figure 1> is read setting example of KACO XP100-HV Inverter communication driver.

<Figure 1>  Read setting example of KACO XP100-HV Inverter communication driver

Device part of  <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM1), Baud Rate(38400), Parity Bit(0), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1) respectively.

Also whether to use 'Check Sum'(1: use, 0 : don't use, default =1) is set by using option part.

 

KACO XP100-HV Inverter communication driver¡¯s read schedule 

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) STATION – Don't care.

2) Read Command – Command = MANU, PARA, PV, GRID, FAULT, INV, CONT, DIO, YIELD. ( Refer to <Table 1> )

3) Read Start Address PARA read command = read start address,

Other command = Don't care.

4) Save start address for Communication Server – Saving start address of Communication Server.

5) Read Size – Fixed to 1.  ( Refer to <Table 1> )

 

Read schedule example) 

READ,     1,  PARA,     0,    0,   1,

READ,     1,  GRID,     0,   10,   1,

READ,     1,   INV,     0,   20,   1,

<Table 1> Read commands and store values of KACO XP100-HV Inverter communication driver

 

 KACO XP100-HV Inverter communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT, STRING memory, but the data formats are different.

If you click the icon  in protocol option part, you can see the dialogue box such as <Figure 2>. you can also set read schedule by using this part. 

<Figure 2> Example of  KACO XP100-HV Inverter communication driver¡¯s Option dialogue box

 You can set read schedule by using , , button and listbox of <Figure 2>.  

Whether to use 'Check Sum' is set by using the part of ¡®Read Packet Check BCC¡¯  shown in <Figure 2>.

<Figure 3> Example of  KACO XP100-HV Inverter communication driver¡¯s read schedule Add/Edit dialogue box

When you click Add button or Edit button in dialogue box of <Figure 2>, dialogue box of <Figure 3> is shown.

 

2. Writing settings

You can write parameter setting by using write settings.

 

Bit Write

Bit write and word write have the same setting parameters except output value. ( 0 , 1 )

 

Word Write

Word write setting parameters are as follows:

1)  PORT                   Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2)  STATION             Don't care.

3)  ADDRESS            Address of parameter = 0 ~ 99(decimal).

4)  Extra1                   Write command = PARA.

5)  Extra2                   Don't care.
