blue'Log XM slave
Description
The blue'Log XM slave collects all data of your PV plant and serves as a gateway for VCOM Cloud and Local SCADA Center. In addition, the device acts as the interface for the blue'Log XC power plant controller to all controllable units (inverters) at the plant.
Note
The blue’Log XM slave can only be ordered as part of a project offer.
Features
Processing of up to 100 devices 1)
Processing of up to 250 trackers 2)
Can be used for systems of any performance class
Measured values in 1-minute interval
At least 100 days of data storage (long-term storage in VCOM Cloud or Local SCADA)
Automatic forwarding of data in case of disconnection
Sending of historical data (at least 100 days in the past)
Compatible with more than 3,300 devices. See Compatibility Check.
1) Exception: Status via multi/digital inputs are not included in the devices.
2) If the tracker mode is activated on the blue’Log, up to 250 devices can be queried instead of 100. In this case, no other device types can be configured except for the trackers, sensors (max. 10), and Status DI internal.
Extensions
The range of functions can be extended with licenses.
The available additional licenses can be found in the data sheet blue'Log XM/XC optional licenses.
