blue’Log XM/XC
Item no. 532.010-532.015, 532.019-532.029
The central component for controlling and monitoring PV systems.
Description
The blue’Log X-series data loggers comprehensively record key metrics from your renewable energy plant. They also provide various interfaces and functionality for power plant control, thus serving as the central component for grid-compliant feed-in. When used in conjunction with VCOM, the blue'Log transmits all recorded data to the cloud monitoring platform for in-depth analysis.
The blue’Log X series is available in two variants:
-
X-Monitoring (blue’Log XM)
-
X-Control (blue’Log XC)

1) 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.
3) The meteocontrol master/slave functionality is used for plants with power control and more than one data logger. The blue’Log XM can be configured as a slave and thus transmit the power control setpoints to the connected inverters. See blue’Log XM slave data sheet.
