Inverters

1

Ident no.

Automatically assgined by VCOM. Read-only

2

UID (local)

External identification of the inverter, typically the same as the serial number. If there is no serial number available, it is a text string created from the interface and/or the address. Read-only

3

Name

Automatically assigned based on the information from the data logger. You can edit the inverter name here. If using a blue’Log, you can change the name via the blue’Log web interface.

4

Interface

Interface to which the inverter is attached. For the blue’Log, this might be a built-in RS-485 ports or an add-on module. For inverters connected via Ethernet, this will contain the network interface of the blue’Log. Read-only

5

Address

Address of the inverter on the RS-485 bus or the Ethernet IP address of the inverter. Read-only

6

Serial number

Serial number is read from the inverter. If you are not using a blue’Log, you may need to edit this field.

7

Subsystem

You can assign the inverter to a subsystem here.

8

Scale factor

Normalizing factor in kWp. This field is typically auto-filled when you select the subsystem. Otherwise, you can enter the data manually. This value is used for inverter monitoring and the Inverter energy (normalized) chart

Status

• Info: Vendor, model, and firmware

• Status: Active/inactive

• Exchange inverter: If this inverter has been exchanged on-site due to a defect, this button will merge the historical data with the data from the replacement inverter.
