Connection to multiple devices

Multiple inverters are connected to the Logger1000 in the RS485 daisy chain
manner. If more than 15 inverters are connected on the RS485 bus, it is
recommended to connect a 120Ω terminal resistor in parallel on the RS485A and
RS485B lines at the head or tail end of the bus.

Inverter Inverter Inverter
Energy meter
With an outdoor device connected to the Logger1000, it is recommended to

connect an SPD to protect the Logger1000 from lightning damage.
 The Logger1000 allows for 3 inputs of RS485 buses and 30 devices at most.
23
 Different device types must connect to different RS485 communication ports of

the Logger1000. For example, connect the transformer and inverter to different
RS485 communication ports of the Logger1000.
 The addresses of devices on each RS485 bus must be different from one another
and within the address range set for the Logger1000 (address range of residential
inverters and string inverters manufactured by SUNGROW: 1-247; address range
of third-party devices: 1-255). Otherwise, communication error will occur.
 Serial port parameters of each device on the RS485 bus should be consistent
with those of the Logger1000. The serial port parameters include baud rate, data
bit, stop bit, and check bit.
6.3.2 Connection to Energy Meter

It is recommended to use the energy meter whose communication protocol
complies with DL/T645-2007 protocol or Modbus RTU protocol. The recommended
energy meter types are as follows:

All devices on each RS485 bus support the same communication

protocol.
6.3.3 Connection to Meteo Station

The following figure shows the connection between the Logger1000 and the Meteo
Station.
24
Logger1000
Meteo Station
Connect the communication cable led from the Meteo Station to the RS485 port of
the Logger1000.
If multiple inverters are connected to the Logger1000 together with the

Meteo Station, the Meteo Station should be connected on the very end
of the daisy chain.
6.4 Connection to Background

The Logger1000 can be connected to the background of the PV system via the
network port, and the communication protocol is standard Modbus TCP or IEC104.
As a salve device, the Logger1000 can be accessed by multiple backgrounds and
communicate by using the standard protocol. The following figure shows the
connection between the Logger1000 and the background.
The Logger1000 can be connected to multiple monitoring background systems via
the Ethernet switch or router, or it may be connected to the single monitoring
background system via the network cable.
For example, the Logger1000 is connected to the background system via the
Ethernet switch, and the wiring steps are as follows:
Step 1 Prepare an Ethernet cable of suitable length.
Step 2 Insert one end of the cable into the port of the Ethernet switch and the other
end to the "ETH" port of the Logger1000.
Step 3 Set IP address of the ETH port to be within the same network segment as
that of the background monitoring system.

6.7 Cable Routing Requirements

Cables used in the system generally include power cables and communication
cables.
The communication cable needs to be routed away from the power cable, and the
cables need to form a right angle at the intersection. The communication cable
needs to be as short as possible and keeps a distance from the power cable.
Power cables and communication cables should be routed in different cable
trenches to avoid long-distance parallel cable routing of power cables and other
cables, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference due to output voltage
transient.
The distance between the power cable and communication cable should be greater
than 200mm. When the cables meet with each other, the cross angle should be 90°,
and the distance can be reduced accordingly.
The following table shows the recommended minimum distances between parallel
28
shielded communication cables and power cables.

Parallel cable length (m) Min. distance (m)
200 0.3
300 0.5
500 1.2
The communication cables should be routed as closely to the ground surface or
supports (such as support beam, steel channel, or metal rail) as possible.

9 Grid Dispatching Function
Only installation personnel with some communication knowledge can

perform operations described in this chapter.

The Logger1000 not only serves as a communication management device of single
PV array/plant, but also has the power regulation function. Multiple regulation
manners can meet different regulation requirements. The Logger1000 can regulate
the power output of the SUNGROW inverter, and the regulation mainly includes
active power control and reactive power regulation.
The Logger1000 can control device power output according to the local preset
instructions. In addition, it can receive regulation instructions via the remote
communication (IEC104, MODBUS, and TCP), AI, and dry contact (DI).

The Logger1000 supports closed-loop power regulation. The regulation accuracy

and real-time performance can be further improved by adding an energy meter.
The Logger1000 supports fast instruction transfer channels (ms-level processing
delay) while ensuring that the dispatching instructions are correctly transmitted to
all inverters.

8 Grid Dispatching Function
Only installation personnel with some communication knowledge
can perform operations described in this chapter.

The COM100 not only serves as a communication management device of a
single PV array/plant, but also has the power regulation function. Multiple
regulation manners can meet different regulation requirements. The
Logger1000 can regulate the power output of the SUNGROW inverter, and the
regulation mainly includes active power control and reactive power regulation.
The COM100 can control device power output according to the local preset
instructions. In addition, it can receive regulation instructions via the remote
communication (IEC104, MODBUS, and TCP), AI, and dry contact (DI).
Digital input

COM100
Grid dispatching center Analog input
PC
Fig. 8-1 Overall frame of power control function

The COM100 supports closed-loop power regulation. The regulation accuracy
and real-time performance can be further improved by adding an energy meter.
The COM100 supports fast instruction transfer channels (ms-level processing
delay) while ensuring that the dispatching instructions are correctly transmitted
to all inverters.
27
The corresponding power dispatching function is available only when

the inverter supports active power control, power factor control, and
reactive power regulation!
For details, refer to the inverter user manual or consult the local
retailers.
