Migrate a WEB'log to a blue'Log

Last modified: 07 Nov 2024

For a smooth transition from a WEB'log to a blue'Log data logger, review the information below. If you need assistance with migration or preserving historical data, contact our Support team.

Before replacing the hardware

Check inverter compatibility

• Ensure all inverters connected to the WEB'log are compatible with blue’Log

• Identify the type and number of existing inverters.

• Determine the communication path (Modbus TCP or RTU):

  • VCOM ONLY In VCOM, go to System configuration > Data sources > Inverter. In the table, check the Interface column for TCP or Bus.

  • If not using VCOM, check the WEB'log web interface

• Use the blue'Log compatibility check to confirm compatibility for inverters and communication channels.

S0 meters

• If S0 meters were used on the WEB'log for active power control, note that this is no longer supported due to their slow response time.

• Contact the sales team for alternative solutions.

WEB'log I/O modules

• To keep existing WEB’log I/O modules, at least 1 WEB'log must remain in the system (maximum of 8 I/O modules per WEB'log).

• If there are more than 8 WEB’log I/O modules, 2 or more WEB’logs must remain in the system.

• To remove WEB'log I/O modules, all modules must be replaced with blue'Logs.

After replacing the hardware

If you monitor the system with VCOM Cloud, ensure that the designation of all devices on the WEB'log and blue'Log are IDENTICAL so that the devices can then be correctly assigned in VCOM. For assistance, contact our Support team.
