KACO REST API
Set up KACO REST API
KACO inverters of the blueplanet TL series can send data directly to VCOM via the KACO REST API.
General tips
Have the data source (data logger, etc.) serial number on hand. When entering the serial number, pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters and empty spaces.
The data source name can be freely selected. For recommendations, see our Naming guideline.
Set the same measuring interval for all data sources in the system to ensure charts are accurately displayed in VCOM. This is used to normalize uneven timestamps and aggregate smaller recorded intervals into larger ones.
To ensure that the data source measuring interval has been set correctly in VCOM, open an imported file in the Data logger overview portlet in VCOM and check the timestamps.
If possible, perform a connection test once you have completed the configuration in both VCOM and the data source.
Configuration details
Protocol | REST API |
|---|---|
File format | CSV |
Measuring interval | Variable: 300 sec/5 min recommended |
Server | |
Port | 80 or 443 |
Configuration: Inverter
Enable data transfer to meteocontrol
Configuration: VCOM
In VCOM under Data logger configuration, add the REST API as the device type.
Enter the inverter serial number correctly, for example 50.0TLXXXXXXX
KACO REST API configuration
Troubleshooting: Missing data in VCOM
The interval column has incorrect data:
The inverter sends only one file per day
The data file is empty
Incorrect time stamp in the data file
Example of missing data: incorrect timestamp
The inverter does not establish a connection to meteocontrol
