Product description

The blue’Log X-series data loggers comprehensively record key metrics from your renewable energy system, such as current, voltage, temperature, output, and inverter yields. Additionally, they record values from other relevant system devices, such as meters, sensors, trackers, etc. The blue'Log thus serves as the central interface for grid-compliant feed-in. When used in conjunction with VCOM, the blue'Log transmits all the recorded data to the cloud monitoring platform for in-depth analysis. 

The X-series is available in two variants:

• blue’Log XM, designed for monitoring purposes, and

• blue’Log XC, designed for control and regulation, particularly in "power control" applications

Note

Depending on your system's installed power and configuration, the blue'Log XC can be used in combination with a blue'Log XM in a Master/Slave relationship.

See the blue’Log data sheet for further technical details. Further information about our licenses can be found at https://www.meteocontrol.com/en/services/downloads.
