| <Table 1> Data save address and contents by data type of Xantrex Inverter by CCU2 communication driver | ||
| Save Address | Save Contents | Data Range |
| Save Address + 0 | Goal state | 2 = SYS_SHUTDOWN, (IDLE, wait PV enter standby state) 4 = SYS_POWER_TRACKING, (regulates PV power) 5 = SYS_MANUAL_CURRENT, (regulates current) 6 = SYS_MATRIX_TEST. (matrix blinking test) |
| Save Address + 1 | Current state | 0 = SYS_INITIALIZING, (power on state) 1 = SYS_KEY_DISABLE, (key disable or remote disable) 2 = SYS_SHUTDOWN, (IDLE, wait PV enter standby state) 3 = SYS_STARTING, (system is moving into power tracking state) 4 = SYS_POWER_TRACKING, (regulates PV power) 5 = SYS_MANUAL_CURRENT, (regulates current) 6 = SYS_MATRIX_TEST, (matrix blinking test) 7 = SYS_FAULTED, (system has fault, wait clear fault command) 8 = SYS_DISPATCHING.

If you click the icon 
in
protocol option part, you can see the dialog box such as <Figure 2>. you can
also set read schedule by using this part.
 |
| <Figure 2> Example of Xantrex Inverter by CCU2 driver Option dialog box |
You can set read schedule by using
,
,
button
and listbox of <Figure 2>.
 |
| <Figure 3> Xantrex Inverter by CCU2 driver read schedule Add/Edit dialog box |
When you click Add button or Edit button in dialog box of <Figure 2>, dialog box of <Figure 3> is shown.
You can set Parameter value etc by using writing setting.
Digital Write
Digital write and analog write have the same setting parameters except output value.
Analog Write
Analog write setting parameters are as follows :
1) Port : Connected Port no. (It is not COM no.)
2) Station : Don't care.
3) Address : Decimal Parameter ID address to use when write type is ID, EXT.
Other write type isn't used. (Set as 0)
4) Extra1 : Set write type.
ID = Basic Parameter write, input basic Parameter(ID) to Address,
EXT = Extension Parameter write, extension Parameter to Address,
SHUT : Command for converting inverter into fault state, (Don't care output value)
FAULT: Command for converting inverter into fault state, (Don't care output value)
CLR_FLT : Command for cancelling Inverter fault state, (Don't care output value)
GOAL : Command for setting goal state, Input the output value as Goal state value(of 2, 4, 5, 6) of <Table 2>,
TIME: Command for changing Inverter current time as computer current time, (Don't care output value)
RST_KWH : Command for Resetting the power integration value as 0, (Don't care output value)
END_PHO : Command for exiting modem connection. (Don't care output value)
5) Extra2 : Don't care. Set as blank or 0.
Write example 1)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : TIME EXTRA2 : Blank
If you set as above and output the analog value, you can change current time of Xantrex Inverter connected to no.0 port, as computer current time.
Write example 2)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : RST_KWH EXTRA2 : Blank
If you set as above and output the analog value, you can Reset power value of Xantrex Inverter connected to no.0 port as 0.
Xantrex Inverter by CCU2 equipment has 2 serial port such as type of <Table 4>.
